He almost always played a badass heavy before this movie. Good career choice, it would have been hard for him to go back to straight roles after this one anyway. Kareem abdul Jabbar says he was just naturally hilarious and couldn't stop thinking of Mr. Phelps (Mission Impossible) when working with Peter Arness.
Notre Dame, our mother tender, strong and true proudly in the heavens gleams thy gold and blue Glory's mantle cloaks thee golden is thy fame and our hearts forever Praise thee, Notre Dame and our hearts forever Love thee, Notre Dame As a true fan, I always remember this song and love Notre Dame. RIP Knute Rockne
"Cheer Cheer for Ol Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name, send a volley cheer on high, shake down the thunder from the sky, What though the odds be great or small, Old Notre Dame will win overall, While her loyal Sons are Marching onward to victory." Yes, This is what happens when you are a die hard Notre Dame Fan lol. #GoIrishGo
This was our high school song, too, but the words were "Beer, beer for old Newton High! You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye. Send a freshman out for gin and don't let a sober sophomore in. We never stagger, we never fall. We sober up on wood alcohol. All the loyal sons go belching back to the bar for more."
@Xeino I got denied by Notre Dame... TWICE! Once for undergrad and again for law school (and I had GPA and LSAT scores that should have gotten me in.) And I STILL will always love Notre DAME!
My brother and I watched this movie...and the first thing I was thinking was Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Lol. "Win just one for the Zipper"
A great and motivating speech no matter what the circumstances, from a mother giving birth for the first time, to a 5-year-old starting their first day of kindergarten, those words will inspire anyone, boy or girl, man or woman, tell them to go out there and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be Rock but I'll know about it and I'll be happy!!! Motivation pure and simple motivation. Of course you substitute birth for win for the mother giving birth and get on that bus for win for the 5-year-old. Lol 🤣😂
This movie came out in the Fall of 1980 during the Presidential Campaign. The closing song was the Notre Dame Fight Song. The polls didn't really show it, but Reagan touched a nerve with the American people. People were rooting for him and for the right reasons.
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name, Send a volley cheer on high, Shake down the thunder from the sky. What though the odds be great or small Old Notre Dame will win over all, While her loyal sons are marching Onward to victory.
Kenobi: He said, “The odds were against us, but we went in anyway. I’m glad. The Captain made the right decision. He’s the best damn bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories. His name was… Biggs Darklighter, I think it was.” Luke: “… Biggs Darklighter said that??”
"I don't know where I'll be then Doc" he said, "But I won't smell too good, that's for sure."
What a line. Nielsen's delivery: superb.
delacaravanio "Excuse me doc...I've got a plane to land"
Faultless.
The Notre Dame Fight Song just gets you so pumped up, you feel like you can do anything.
Yeah, that's for sure. It makes you feel like you can fly.
John Randle Surely you are kidding
I am kidding, and don't call me Surely or Shirley.
John Randle But this is a different kind of fight song altogether
This is a different kind of fight song.
The crescendo from the sad motif to the victory march.
I raise and salute Elmer Bernstein.
This movie started Leslie Nielsen's late in life career as a comedic actor. And he'll always be remembered for that.
He almost always played a badass heavy before this movie.
Good career choice, it would have been hard for him to go back to straight roles after this one anyway.
Kareem abdul Jabbar says he was just naturally hilarious and couldn't stop thinking of Mr. Phelps (Mission Impossible) when working with Peter Arness.
for being one of the silliest and most hilarious movies ever they sure snuck in one hell of an inspirational moment. RIP Leslie Nielsen.
Very motivational speech. George Zipp was a great man.
He's a real person??
@@tzzlite George Gipp was a real man
“Glen Quagmire is the best damn pilot I’ve ever seen”
"John Holmes said that"
Airplane is one of the best comedies ever!
Notre Dame, our mother
tender, strong and true
proudly in the heavens
gleams thy gold and blue
Glory's mantle cloaks thee
golden is thy fame
and our hearts forever
Praise thee, Notre Dame
and our hearts forever
Love thee, Notre Dame
As a true fan, I always remember this song and love Notre Dame. RIP Knute Rockne
I never get tired of watching this clip!
I have watched this countless times and it always makes me smile.
"I've got to concentrate......concentrate......concentrate!"
Leslie Nelson, perhaps the most underrated actor of our time, and Fred MacMurray belongs in that category also.
Feels like Leslie Nielson is saying to everybody who is trying to achieve their goals. " get out there and give it all you got "!. RIP Leslie Nelson
gives a whole new meaning to
win one for the zipper
This scene is pure comedic genius.
"Cheer Cheer for Ol Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name, send a volley cheer on high, shake down the thunder from the sky, What though the odds be great or small, Old Notre Dame will win overall, While her loyal Sons are Marching onward to victory."

So that did not age well. #GoHerd
Yep
Pitt fan, hate Notre Dame, but I'd give it all for the Zipper
GOOOOOO IRISH ☘️☘️☘️
@Xeino I got denied by Notre Dame... TWICE! Once for undergrad and again for law school (and I had GPA and LSAT scores that should have gotten me in.)
And I STILL will always love Notre DAME!
Well, have I got news for you. 🦬
lol notre dame fight song in the background
Because Ronald Reagan played George Gipp in The Knute Rockne Story! Reagan was the butt of jokes in Airplane!
"Win just one for the zipper". Comedy gold.
George Zipp sure said alot to say he could barely talk lol
My brother and I watched this movie...and the first thing I was thinking was Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Ru-dy!! Lol. "Win just one for the Zipper"
He looked at me said, Doc he said! 😂

Great parody and great music!
Absolutely legendary
This scene became even funnier as the 80s wore on, as the original "Gipper," Ronald Reagan, became President.
People know he was an actor before being governor and president.
He gets all misty eyed at the inspirational speech.

Whenever you hear that song, you think about playing for the fighting irish of notre dame.
I like this clip.
RIP LESLIE
"Don't call me Shirley" =))
Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.
@numbuh460... I think that FG episode was the Hugh Hefner talking this type of speech to Quagmire, except it was about John Holmes.
Kenobi: He said, “The odds were against us, but we went in anyway. I’m glad. The Captain made the right decision. He’s the best damn bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories. His name was… Biggs Darklighter, I think it was.”
Luke: “… Biggs Darklighter said that??”
He all over the place.😂
George Zipp, lol! HAHAH- this is great....smell too good???
i dont know where I'll be then Rock, but i'll know about it, and i'll be happy
For a guy who could barely talk, the Zipper sure had a lot to say.
Tough to watch this. I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande.
When can you land this plane? I can’t tell. You can tell me, I’m a Doctor.
What is the name of this music before the Notre dame marching music?
Last time Notre Dame football was consistently relevant.
They are consistently relevant
Ong me 2..
Shake all the thunder down from sky it's French I know the words.
Leslie Nielsen!!! (not NELSON)
😂😂😂😂😂
I dont know where ill be then rock, but ill know about it and ill be happy
but i wont smell too good thats for sure
LOL
LOL
Someone should show this to Simone Bails, aka THE QUITTER.
And to think the sjw’s of 2021 want to associate this song with racism🤦🏻♂️
