Airplane!	comment	Airplane!? What is it?It's a big metal thing with wings, but that's not important right now.The film that solidified the team of Jim Abrahams and brothers David and Jerry Zucker as comedy icons. ZAZ's directorial debut,note They previously wrote The Kentucky Fried Movie, but John Landis directed Airplane! (1980) — titled Flying High! in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan and the Philippines — is a comedic remake of the 1957 disaster film Zero Hour! (itself based on the TV movie Flight into Danger written by Arthur Hailey).note In fact, even though lawyers assured the creative team that they were protected under parody, they went ahead and bought the Zero Hour! script and license for $2500 just to be sure! Subplots from Airport (1975) also appear, such as an airline stewardess (or flight attendant) having to keep the plane under control for a while, a singing Nun, and a little girl on-board in need of an organ transplant.The plot: Ted Striker (Stryker in Zero Hour!), an ex-military pilot, has to get over his personal traumas to pilot a commercial plane after the crew is stricken by food poisoning, and reconcile with his estranged girlfriend at the same time. Hilarity Ensues. Take that basic plot, and have a silly joke every three seconds. In fact, that is partly what makes the film work: if a joke falls flat, move on to the next one. Of course, further analysis of the jokes will just hurt the humor of it all. Just see the film for yourself. Along the way, it singlehandedly destroyed the Disaster Movie as a serious genre for over a decade, and some say the "commercial airliner needs to be landed by amateurs" subgenre never recovered to this day.This film started Leslie Nielsen (Dr. Rumack) out on a whole new career starring in silly comedies. In fact, Nielsen's subsequent Leslie Nielsen Syndrome kind of ruined the main joke of his casting, which was to have a deadly serious leading man (he'd been in Forbidden Planet!) saying utterly ridiculous lines. The same happened to Lloyd Bridges (Steve McCrosky), but not Robert Stack (Rex Kramer). In fact, for Stack, the reverse happened — he became the host of Unsolved Mysteries, which required a serious man to say ridiculous lines while remaining dignified.Airplane! was hardly the Trope Maker, but it's often viewed, even today, as a major Trope Codifier of the parody film. It was followed by a sequel called Airplane II: The Sequel in 1982, which didn't have any involvement from ZAZ, who collectively claim neither to have seen it nor have any interest in seeing it.In 2023 a book of the making of the movie was released, titled Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane!

The trailers prominently featured a spectacular moment where the front end of a passenger plane smashes through a terminal window as people scatter. Similar in nature to the climactic finale of the recent movie Silver Streak, the use of this scene in the trailer suggests a similarly epic finale. In fact, the scene takes place within the first few minutes of the film as the payoff to a minor sight gag and is never referenced again.

Later, when he's sick and hurling into the barf bag, she thinks, "Jim never vomits at home..." This was a parody of a Yuban coffee commercial from the late 1970s (with the same actress playing the wife).

Howard Jarvis, the California anti-tax activist who spearheaded the passage of property-tax limiting Proposition 13 in 1978, is the passenger in Ted Striker's taxi. Jimmie "JJ" Walker of Good Times fame is the window washer. According to the director's commentary, Walker was the only "comedy cameo" they accepted; Paramount wanted many more. It may have helped Walker's chances that he was in a straightforward airplane disaster movie the previous year (The Concorde: Airport '79) as one of several comic relief characters. Abrahams' mother, Louise Abrahams Yaffe, plays the passenger who introduces Elaine to Dr Rumack. The Zuckers' mother is the woman attempting to put on lipstick during the crash landing.

The "check the radar range" pun hasn't aged well, though — although Amana still makes RadarRange microwave ovens, it's no longer the best-known brand (and most people nowadays don't know that microwaves were originally known as RadarRanges because microwave cooking was an accidental discovery made by people developing radars).

Most jarringly, Striker's flashbacks to what would logically be the Vietnam War include shots of World War I triplanes and even a pre-Wright Brothers whirligig, but these can be chalked up to Rule of Funny. Furthermore, the jukebox in his flashback plays a sped up "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees.

Airplane! / int_26eb6287	comment	Funny Background Event: After Ted introduces basketball to Africans, they're pulling off Harlem Globetrotter tricks in the background when he's talking to Elaine. The white zone/red zone argument over the PA, coupled with that baggage behind the cars that nobody actually gives a damn about. Yeah, many jokes are really that hard to catch. Shortly after that, Ted runs into the airport and through security. It's on-screen for maybe three-tenths of a second: the security X-ray screen shows a chest X-ray. At the beginning of the movie, a magazine rack is labeled "whacking material." Oveur picks up from it the latest edition of Modern Sperm. The beating heart at the Mayo Clinic, which jumps off the desk and goes hopping around the table while Dr. Brody talks to Oveur. Behind Dr. Brody, you'll notice that there is an entire wall filled with jars of mayonnaise. The technician changing the oil under the airplane's hood, then falls off the ladder trying to pop it shut, as the pilots are discussing the weather in the cockpit. Then we have Oveur being handed the bill for the repairs and him paying it on the spot. For those too young to remember, the payment transaction plays out exactly the way a full-service gas station transaction would have played out at the time, with the attendant handing the old-style credit card imprinter to the driver through the window (this was before magnetic stripes and swiping your card were possible). When Dr. Rumack is removing eggs from the woman's mouth and cracks one open to release a bird, the bird nearly hits a passenger in the face as it flies off. Amongst the procession of rescue vehicles going out to the runway is a cement mixer, an ice cream truck, a tractor, and a Budweiser truck. They are possibly meant to be part of the "civilian equipment" that was asked to be driven to the airport. During the This Is No Time to Panic moment, the nun and the Hare Krishna are trying to strangle each other. In the radar room, someone is briefly seen unloading or loading a washing machine which resembles a radar.

Everyone is dark-skinned and wear cloth wraps and beads, and the men brandish spears and wear feathered headdresses and face paint. One appears briefly during the "news bulletin" montage, wearing a necklace of beads and horns while using Jungle Drums to deliver a news report.

Of course, had he been wearing the dark blue USAF dress uniform, the subsequent Saturday Night Fever joke wouldn't have worked. He later shows up in an Army hospital, although that could've been justified if he was in WWII, in which he would've been part of the US Army Air Corps, but he's too youngnote Zero Hour!, the movie that Airplane! is a parody of, was made in the 1950s, and the Ted in that movie did explicitly serve as a pilot in WWII, and they didn't have disco back then... While co-pilot Roger Murdock (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) is on the radio to flight controllers, he says "over and out".

David Zucker has said that the basic concept of the movie was "a comedy without comedians," so they cast two non-stars in the lead roles (it was ex-model Julie Hagerty's film debut, while Robert Hays was best known as the handsome love interest on the sitcom Angie), and gave supporting roles to actors famous for playing serious, tough-guy characters: Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Peter Graves, and, believe it or not, Leslie Nielsen, who at the time was considered the handsome, leading man prototype. Then they had them all play as though they were in a serious Disaster Movie. Similarly, Elmer Bernstein approached the score as though he wasn't in on the joke and thought he was writing music for a straightfaced (albeit corny and overwrought) Melodrama.

Then they had them all play as though they were in a serious Disaster Movie.

News reporters still wear fedoras in 1979-1980, everyone in the plane wears formal clothing, a pair of nuns is seen in traditional (pre-Vatican II, which concluded in 1965) garb, a character tells his wife over the phone to stop having the milkman deliver cheese to their doorstep (milkmen having become scarce since the 1960s, when supermarkets took over American life), and a number of male characters display embarrassingly sexist attitudes that, while undoubtedly still present in the late '70s, were nowhere near as socially appropriate as the movie makes them seem. To top that, in 1980 a commercial flight with that many crew and passengers makes a propeller sound! Most jarringly, Striker's flashbacks to what would logically be the Vietnam War include shots of World War I triplanes and even a pre-Wright-Brothers whirligig. Despite that, the jukebox in his flashback plays The Bee Gees. A lot of this is a result of Airplane! being a pseudo-remake of 1957 Zero Hour! ("the war", while not specified, was obviously World War II). The very outdated script was kept almost intact, with all the hilarity that entailed.

(At the time, airplane headsets looked not unlike stethoscopes, so this was a sight gag that's missed by modern audiences.) In a later scene, he's giving an OB-GYN exam for no apparent reason — yes, in-flight... with stirrups... and holding a vaginal speculum at the ready.

Airplane! / int_f0508c08	comment	Decomposite Character: Some changes between Zero Hour! and Airplane! fall into this. Steve McCroskey and Rex Kramer are based on Harry Burdick and Martin Treleaven, respectively, but Sterling Hayden as Treleaven chewed so much scenery that ZAZ had enough leftover Large Ham to give some of Treleaven's bits to McCroskey, like his impatience, and his picking the wrong week to quit smoking. By contrast, Burdick is the more levelheaded of the two in Zero Hour! (though still hammy). Captain Wilson becomes Captain Oveur, but his being played by a pro sports star (NFL great Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch) is transferred to Murdock (played by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).
