- Enjoy my reaction as I watch AIRPLANE for the first time!
Most of you don't know but I used to be a Flight Attendant for around 4 years , It was fun to react to this movie even if everything Flying related was a comedy !! Maybe we can react to a more serious Flight related movie in the future!

Are you scared of Flying ?
On an airline named Wizz? You betcha.
I was but I had a Girlfriend on Mallorca and we had a 9 month relationship so I did a lotta flyin 😂 after that I was cured of flying- fear but I’m still afraid of heights 🤷🏼♂️
No, just like I'm not afraid of heights. I'm just afraid of falling from them! 👀
Nope. Just crashing. 😉
No I love flying, my dream was to be a pilot. I had 5 lessons but could never afford to continue.
Btw, can you tell us more about your dirty mind????
The black pilot is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He was a professional basketball player when this movie came out. He had a hall of fame career with 6 championships as a player. One of the best ever.
Up until recently he was the all time leading scorer
He was the Magic Johnson and Air Jordan of his time. God bless him, always.
The sky hook, baby!
He's over 7-feet tall and early in his career he had his cornea scratched by an opposing player. After that, he started wearing goggles to protect his eye, hence the joke about him wearing his goggles as he's being carried out in his basketball uniform. He had a reputation during his career as being sullen and distant from the media, thus it was a great change of pace to see someone with that reputation in one of the silliest comedies of all time and he used this role to try and change the narrative about him.
Don't forget he fought Bruce Lee in Game of Death!! In recent years, Kareem sponsors disadvantaged kids with educational opportunities.
The propellor sounds for a jet engine are next-level genius.
That's one of the least noticed jokes in the movie. My favorite of the least noticed jokes is the woman tossing her baby in the air and running away when the plane comes through the airport window.
OMG I've seen this movie over 100x and I've never noticed that 😂 but the airplane propeller sound is epic and every reactor misses it.😅
@@raybernal6829 It was my fourth or fifth viewing before I noticed it, and now, it's the _only_ thing I see during that scene.
My Dad pointed that out to me.
Airplane spoofs a movie called 'Zero Hour' from the 1950's. Even though in 'Airplane' they were in a jet the directors wanted the sound of the propellers in the background to capture the feel of the original movie.
Good luck with the reaction. We're all counting on you. Also, the co-pilot is actually Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and he played for the Lakers. They were breaking the fourth wall by having the kid recognize him for who he actually was. Hence, the basketball gear later on. Fun fact: he did this movie for $10,000 because there was a rug he wanted that cost that much. If you don't watch Naked Gun soon (starring Leslie Nielson, the doctor) I will throw myself off a building. That building will be my porch and I will live, but I might knock the wind out of myself. Then you'll be sorry.
I appreciate that hahaha
And stop calling me Shirley
@@BissFlix We just hope you didn't pick this reaction to quit sniffing glue!
@@BissFlix Honestly, though - Police Squad is way better than Naked Gun. Police Squad was a tv series starrine Leslie Nielsen, and made bt Abrahams, Zucker, and Zucker (same team that made Airplane), and they played everything straight - that's how Leslie Nielsen, who used to be a dramatic actor (check him out in Poseidon Adventure, or Forbidden Planet) became known as the king of deadpan delivery.
Naked Gun is good, but the jokes were a bit more on the "jokey" side, while Police Squad had lines like "we're sorry to bother you at a time like this, Mrs. Twice (her husband was a shooting victim), we would have come sooner, but your husband wasn't dead then".
Actually he did it for $35,000. He was offered $30,000 and held out for another $5,000 because the rug cost $35,000. The Zuckers thought he was just playing them for an extra five thousand dollars and admired his creativity in doing it so they gave him the other $5,000. A month after filming was finished one of the Zuckers was reading an issue of Sports Illustrated and it had a picture of Kareem Abdul-Jabaar with a $35,000 Oriental rug he had just bought in it. Originally the role was going to be played by Pete Rose but then someone at the studio had the bright idea of scheduling the film shoot for August so they had to recast the role.
I've watched several reactions to this movie and you were the first to understand the vultures behind the pilot. thumbs up for that.
_/Smiles/_ Biss laughing at the vultures had me laughing.
Yessss ... I was waiting for her to just bypass it and she knew the gag!!!😅
I was thinking the same thing as I watched her reaction. I don't recall anyone ever even knowing it was a vulture or why that might be funny 😀
She was very intelligent for her age; she explained to us that airlines used to have a smoking section, and the reason the flight crew are supposed to eat different meals. Probably one of the best reactions out of the 50 or so I've watched.
Same for me. It made me smile when she understood that. I’ve still never seen anyone get the joke that the plane sounds like a propeller engine instead of a jet, though. Maybe someday…
The announcement voices at the curbside, were the actual voices that used to be used at LAX. They happened to be husband and wife in real life and when they made the movie they got them to do the dialogue (argument as husband and wife).
Only 1 question: why were they conflicting each other?
@@washingtonhidalgo3056They are supposed to have been pre-recorded announcements, so to have them arguing each other is the first part of the joke, and the second part of the joke is that is about a disagreement on having children which is the most absurd thing possible to discuss over an airport address system.
Thats so next level... its, brilliant
The Kareem Abdul Jabar is probably one of the first meta-jokes of cinema.
This movie is a spoof of Zero Hour, in which the co-pilot is played by an ex-football player. Kareem (who was a professional basketball player) is playing a co-pilot, but when the kid recognizes him and start criticizing him, he suddenly stops talking like Roger and starts defending himself as Kareem.
The two marshallers on the tarmac at the beginning were the Zucker brothers, two of the directors. The "Makeup lady" was their mom.
Everyone’s sense of humor is different. I saw this in the theater in 1980 and everyone laughed their butts off. Not every joke landed, but most of them hit the spot for me. I think it’s the funniest movie ever made. But to each their own.
This movie is crammed with so many jokes that one could reasonably argue that there’s something for everybody.
People say there are a lot of "Dad jokes". But that's fitting since many of us who saw it in the 80s are now Dads.
Next to Top Secret! i'd agree.
Yeah, well you're an American, from that time period. DUH. Holy moly, does everyone in this country have their heads up their ass? I saw it in 1980 also, same experience, but I don't expect a young Romanian girl living in Germany in 2023 to have the same exact reaction (and she STILL laughed plenty, so there's nothing to be butthurt about.) A 3-star rating is all it ever was, even back then. I remember that's exactly exactly what Joseph Gelmis rated it when the movie came out. Which is not a bad rating! It's a great American comedy of that period. And now it's 43 years later. This was a great reaction video, but this would be the LAST movie I would recommend to this reactor. Dudes just don't think when they throw titles out. They think everyone in the world is a lumpen American couch potato with the taste of an 11-year old boy, it's embarrassing.
I think it was nonstop laughing the entire movie, so hard to tell if joke landed or not. It was nonstop
The great thing about "Airplane!" is that there are SO MANY jokes crammed in that you can miss dozens of them (like the more subtle wordplay ones, or ones that only make sense with good knowledge of 70s American pop culture), dislike dozens more, and STILL get your money's worth. I've seen it dozens of times and I'm sure I still don't recognise every joke. This was a great reaction - I enjoyed your insight on passengers getting different food at different times on a flight, or the "proper" crash landing instructions.
If your sense of humour is more towards situational absurdity and people saying stupid things in a serious way rather than zany antics, can I suggest "Withnail and I"? It's a comedy on the surface but with a sad edge to it, like a Pagliacci clown. I think you'd really appreciate it. 😊
Shell Shock = PTSD
The "He never has a second cup at home" series of jokes is a satire of an old series of commercials for coffee here in the US
Also the actress who says this is the same person who was in the commercials
@@harish123az I didn't realize that. . . . Cool!
@@imdguin The husband is also the actor from the commercial
ruclips.net/video/MJ4kCF22O2w/видео.html
Of course they were 10 years younger in the original commercial. Also according to the actress, the directors didnt know she was the same actress when she turned up for auditioning and it was never brought up at any point during the filming.
There were a lot of gag and reference casting, for example, the 2 voice announcers at the airport fighting over abortioons were actual voice announcers at Los Angeles airport and were also married to each other in real life, most of the cast members (like the lady who spoke jive, Leslie nielsen himself) were very serious method actors who had never done comedy before. The Johnny actor was a real life comedian and had no lines written for him in the script, instead he was asked to improvise each scene and dialogue himself, the singing nun was an oscar winning singer in two diasster movies
Shell Shock isn't PTSD. It's physical neurological trauma, not dissimilar to a concussion, caused by the blast overpressure of nearby explosions like bombs or artillery shells. There are all sorts of symptoms, from loss of motor function to loss or change of mental functions.
@@jlinkous05 True. PTSD was called "combat fatigue", but most civilians used "shellshock" and "combat fatigue" interchangeably.
This film is a comedic remake of the disaster film, "Zero Hour!" What made this work so well was not just the brilliant writing, but most of the main actors (Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, etc.) were serious, dramatic actors. To see them do something this silly made it even funnier.
The two films even share the exclamation point in the title.
I also wonder if Zero Hour might be a serious aeroplane movie Bisscute could react to
@@wayland76
She needs to do three movies, starting with Zero Hour, then going to the first two Airport movies. Put them along with this in a playlist.
You did actually miss the end credits scene. One final joke. Also, the FBI warning in the beginning ends with "so there."
There certainly was a lot less security at airports and rules for everything else were pretty minimal compared to today in many ways. Great reaction.
It is too much, the airport security, in some places. In Eastern Europe it drives me nuts, going out of Krakow, Poland, being checked downstairs and then again upstairs.
I just shrug and am glad they have a job as there’s not much of a wage there. Balice is such a nice area.
Back in 1988, my friend and I went to O'hare Airport just to drink in the bar and have oysters. Very easy to get in. Anyone could. We got drunk, and bought airline tickets. That was the best night of my life.
Everything changed after 9/11
Life was way funnier then
I always get a seat towards the rear of the aircraft, because I've never heard of a plane backing into a mountain.
I saw that she was reacting and I thought - "this ought to be hilarious" - then she said she was a flight attendant. I about fell out of my chair. She is SO not ready.
Did you notice that every time they showed the plane from outside, the sound effects were for propellers but this plane had jet engines? 😊
What surprises me is how few people seem to notice that the plane sounds like a train during the departure.
It took me many years and repeated viewings to catch that.
The actor you recognized was Leslie Nielsen (the doctor). He starred in movies such as Police Squad and The Naked Gun.
He was also in Forbidden Planet. And in at least one episode of The Love Boat.
And Forbidden Planet - possibly the greatest 1950s sci fi move of them all
Don't forget "The Ringbanger".
Madalina I just thought I should say this:
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
Roger…
A lot of the jokes in this movie require an in depth knowledge of American pop culture.
"If someone can explain to me this scene"
The co-pilot is actually being played by a famous basket-ball star of the day Kareem Abdul-Jabaar.
They're making light of the fact the kid isn't playing along while Kareem is trying (not very well) to stay in character, and eventually he breaks out of character when the kid attacks is job performance.
To be fair to Joey, it was his dad who criticized Kareem’s performance. I would love to have seen the result of that. “Dad, Kareem said you should try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.”
Which is why it's ridiculous that people recommend it so much to reactors, especially non-American ones. It's almost as if they recommend it just so that they can leave comments like yours, lol.
@@TTM9691 I don't recall recommending it, but that doesn't mean it isn't loaded with other kinds of jokes too. it's a parody film, specifically and American parody film which means a specific brand of humor which this is part of it.
part and parcel if you're going to make a movie reaction channel based around Hollywood. You know what you're in for when you sign up for it.
@@metoo7557 I didn't say YOU recommended it, I just think it's pathetic that most Americans are so shit-for-brained that THIS and Blazing Saddles are the only two movies they seem to know to offer up the world for comedy. I like this movie, I saw it when it came out, I don't need it explained to me. And I really don't understand what you're babbling about regarding setting up a reaction channel or whatever. It's the steeped-in-mediocrity, shallow-end-of-the-pool couch potatoes in flyover country who simply don't have a lot to offer reactors as far as titles are concerned, and so every reactor, no matter where they're from, is expected to cry over American war dead, and feel some kind of thrill down their leg when they see an American flag at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, and laugh at a bunch of fart jokes from 1979. Keeping it classy on world stage, as usual, America! lol. Anyways, I guess I'll see you on the next Airplane reaction where you will be leaving the same exact comment you did on this one. Do you have it all typed out already and you just paste it? Or do you actually start from scratch each reaction?
And the kid was *not* warned that Kareem was going to break knto a rage. His fear is genuine. Both Kareem and the director apologized.
The tall co-pilot is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hes considered one of the best basketball players of all time, the entire joke is a riff on celebrity cameos in movies.
Kareem also fought Bruce Lee!
In Zero Hour, the co pilot was played by a pro baseball player
"Top Secret!" (1984) is a brilliant movie by the same people. 😄
More people should know about that movie.
My favorite ZAZ movie!
I just wanna tell you both, good luck, we're all counting on you
Around 1983 I was in a group of engineers dining in Ohio, and one had been a tail gunner in a B-52, back when there was a tail gunner and back when the tail gunner was in the rear of the plane. He said it became "well -known" during the Vietnam conflict that the tail was the safest place to be in a crash.
The belly gunner was a different story. Altogether.
I would pay the extra to be in the tail of a Vietnamese plane crash.
It sounds such delightful fun.
‘dining in Ohio’. Was it a Cantonese diner.? (There are effectively 2 jokes there).
- “The belly gunner was a different story.”
- “The belly gunner was a different story.”
@@dr.burtgummerfan439
Yes, on most planes that position can be a real grind.
@@oldfarthacks Literally
Your reaction to the dance scene was the best I have seen. Great fun and a high point of my day. Thank you
I actually made it into the cockpit twice when I was a kid in the 70s. I even once got to shove the throttles forward to take us out of the gate. Those days are of course long gone now.
I got once, the pilot told me to push one of the handles forward, some kind of alarm went off and they laughed as I jerked my hand way like I did something bad.
Did the pilot ask you if like movies about Gladiators?
@@dunhill1 Or been in a Turkish prison?
@@jaycee330 Those jokes went right by her.
Fun fact on the Saturday Night Fever spoof: While he was doing Airplane, actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his Angie costar Donna Pescow was in Saturday Night Fever.
There is a sequel to Airplane called Airplane 2 The Sequel which is also worth a look to see William Shatner steal the show.
I think "Caddyshack" would be more to her liking but the concept of blowing up a golf ⛳ course (which they actually did lol) is hilarious at least to America
Fantastic reaction, especially the dance scene! And, not only did you miss a post-credit scene at the very end, as with all Zucker Abrahams Zucker (or ZAZ, for short) movies, there are actually jokes in the written credits...
That part of the reaction video was HILARIOUS. The whole reaction video was hilarious.
First of all, I love the thumbnail. This is a really funny movie and had an awesome time watching it with u. Your dance during "Stayin Alive" was amazing, especially the "knife in the back" part. Awesome job Biss!!!
She needs to clip that and make it a short. Funny and sexy!
Good luck with the reaction. We're all counting on you.
This is an entirely different kind of movie altogether.
This is an entirely different kind of movie.
This is an entirely different kind of movie.
This is an entirely different kind of movie.
This is an entirely different kind of movie.
I love Biss trying to make sense of such a ridiculous movie 😂
Yeah, you just have to let it flow without analysis. It's more silly and fun that way.
The #1 movie that you ought to react to if you used to be a flight attendant is the true story "Sully" starring Tom Hanks. Sully's plane had a bird strike that took out both engines. They didn't have enough altitude or speed to glide back to the runway and ended up having to do a water landing in the Hudson River. All the passengers and crew survived as every boat that was out on the water came to help immediately. The crazy thing is that when the passengers made it to shore, several of them hailed a taxi, returning to the airport they'd just taken off from, and bought tickets to get on a plane to get to where they needed to go. It's all incredibly well told.
I was 12 years old when this came out and I will never forget the experience of watching it in a packed theater…. I haven’t heard such continuous explosions of laughter since 😂
Actually had to watch it again because of the laughing missed some jokes. By far the funniest movie of it's time. Seeing some of the reactors not get some of the jokes or gags is sad but oh well. And don't call me Shirley😅
@@raybernal6829 To be fair, some of the jokes need you to know something about the 70s. I was born in 2003, so when I watched this I got almost none of the pop culture jokes at all. I've learned about a lot of them from either my dad or from comments on reactions since then, but some of the jokes just aren't written for today's young people.
@@BubblyRainbows I never said that today's under 40 audience wouldn't get a lot of the pop culture gags. I was referring to when it first came out when I was 17. I'm not blaming those that don't get them.
@@raybernal6829 Oh, I didn't mean that to come across as accusatory or anything, so I'm really sorry if it did. I think a lot of comedies lose some comedic value over time, because younger audiences don't get the topical jokes. And that IS kind of sad, like you said. But of course, it's no one's fault. Again, really sorry if it seemed like I was criticizing you or something. That wasn't my intention.
I've seen a _number_ of other reactors watch this movie, including two whose first language was clearly not English. Of the three of you, you're the _first_ one who got the pun about _instruments._ That was a pleasant surprise.
I immediately subscribe the channels that get the vulture joke, the amount of reactors seeing the bird and being like "what was that about?" is ridiculous to me
😁 Plus I really did enjoy your reaction overall - a great movie and a fun reaction indeed, much appreciated.
I'm amazed at how many reactors don't recognize a vulture and what a vulture signifies (imminent death).
I got the vulture joke, so I'm always surprised when people don't get it too. I'm similarly disappointed by how many reactors don't get the Mayo Clinic gag. It made me groan the first time I saw it, but that was followed by about 10 minutes of giggling that forced me to pause the movie.
A different actress was originally cast as Elaine. But she quit because she thought the line about "How I used to sit on your face and wiggle" crossed the line. So the original actress quit and Julie Hagerty got the role.
The other actress continued acting though. Her name is Sigourney Weaver.
kareem abdul jabbar was a very famous basketball player. He was playing Roger the co-pilot and the kid outed him. The funny thing about this film is that many of he actors had only been in serious roles before this, so it was really funny to watch serious actors play fools with a straight face. The passenger in the cab was famous for leading a property tax revolt in California in the late 70s. (Jarvis).
The Black gentlemen and the nice lady were speaking jive, an African American vernacular developed in Harlem. The jive lady was played by Barbara Billingsley, best known to Americans as June Cleaver on the wholesome family sitcom Leave It To Beaver.
Kareem Abdul-Jabaar's casting was a jab at the film upon which Airplane was based, Zero Hour, which cast an American football player as the co-pilot.
This was the first comedy most of these actors had done. Leslie Nielsen's career doing serious dramas had all but ground to a halt. This film marked the start of his second act as a comedic lead, playing the oblivious straight man.
My friend was hostess on a plane and when i asked about her job , she said "Phil look at me and smile", and i said "yes" and then she said can you hold that for 8 hours lol.
I just wanted to say good luck, Bisscute. We’re all counting on you.
I think I read somewhere that one of Bill Murray's ongoing gags when flying is to get himself invited into the cockpit before the flight and recite this line to the pilots. Don't know if it's true but it sounds like something Bill would do and would be absolutely hilarious for the crew!
I just wanted to say good luck, Bisscute. We're all counting on you.
The type of comedy in this firm is sometimes called "slap-stick." BTW, there is a post credit scene.
This movie is a near scene by scene parody of a serious movie called Zero Hour.
The Naked Gun series is a must if you like this
One thing people seem to miss the most is the fish in that flashback. That's a catfish which is a freshwater fish, although they're on a beach.
It's a spoof of a famous scene From Here to Eternity
@@petercofrancesco9812 I'm somewhat familiar
I guess it could have been a hardhead catfish, they’re a sea species, but look similar to some freshwater species.
Just because she didn't laugh out loud doesn't mean she is ignorant to fish. It's just not that funny to her. Some visual gags just don't land well.
Didn’t think it was possible but you managed to make this movie even funnier.good job biss you crack me up ❤
Most of the other things were already mentioned in other comments, so I’ll just add that when they were lined up for the hysterical woman, that wasn’t a whip - it was a “lug wrench” (also called a “tire iron”) - basically an “L” shaped metal stick that could be used as a dangerous club-like weapon.
I see it now. In Britain it is called a ‘wheel brace’.
I believe that the guy behind the person with the lug wrench had a whip.
The bird cooking in the microwave was a reference to the Amanda company having recently put out one of the earliest microwaves and calling it a “Radarrange.”
I was a flight attendant too in the early 2000's. I worked for a regional airline, on 30 PAX turboprops and 50 PAX jets. Just the size of my planes was enough to scare some of my passengers. I do miss it, though I don't miss the pay. When I was a kid in the 80's I remember getting to go to the flight deck, I don't think they do that anymore, I don't think that any of the kids on my flights would have been that impressed with the flight deck of the J-41 anyway. We had a new F/O on one of my flights and just before we started boarding I stuck my head in the flight deck and said "I just want to tell you good luck, we are all counting on you" the captain lost it and the whole time we were boarding you could hear them in the flight deck cracking up.
Biss, there IS a post-credits scene, you should check it out! 😊
One of the greatest comedies of all-time, more laughs-per-minute than anything else I can think of.
Awesome reaction as always Bisscute, entertaining and adorable. You have a great sense of humour. 👍✌❤
Life of Brian has a very high gag-rate too.
Really? You are saying this is better than NAKED GUN series? You must be kidding
@@elfboy29 The Python movies are also classics.
@@milannesic5718 The Naked Gun movies were pretty great, but they're no Airplane!.
@@SilentBob731 From what I have seen here, Naked Gun beats it easily in every way. This feels outdated somehow
25:34
That plus the fact that Ted's more familiar with flying single-engine fightercraft as opposed to an airliner
There is a scene at the end where that guy is still waiting in the taxi, and he says something like, "Well, I'll give him 20 more minutes, and that's it!"
Most of the actors in this movie were famous for playing serious roles, and this was their comedy venture.
That scene about "Jim never has two cups at home" is from a coffee commercial from long ago.
The Mayo clinic is a famous hospital, so that's why there's all those mayonnaise jars in the background.
The scene where the girl says, "I take it black, like my men" is a take off of some old move scene from long ago.
For a good stewardess movie, check out the Tarantino movie "Jackie Brown". The main character is a stewardess that gets caught in a money smuggling operation. A fantastic movie, well written and acted, and her stewardess role is a significant plot line.
11:38 I've watched this movie dozens of times over the last forty years, and this moment will never not make me laugh out loud. 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best lines of all time 🤣
Watching the new reactions on RUclips to this is EPIC....
Most of these actors were famous for their time and they mostly played serious roles.
I was in my 20's during the 80's it was good times
I loved this reaction, you really have an awesome sense of humor!😁👍👍
I was disturbed she didn't find the gay guy funny.
As others have commented, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is an extremely famous NBA Basketball player, at the top level of the profession. It's relatively uncommon (but not unknown) for a sports star to be featured among the cast in a major film (unless they're trying to switch fields, which Kareem wasn't). He's in the film because, in the dramatic film that Airplane! is directly spoofing, 'Zero Hour!' (1957), that earlier film's corresponding Captain was played by Elroy Hirsch, who had been involved with professional football and was trying to break into film roles.
••••
At the time Airplane! was made it was a severe problem (and growing worse) for fringe religions and political movements to solicit people at U.S. airports, which had to be tolerated under 'free speech' rules at the time (and that's part of what the film is commenting on. ) The situation was a permanent way of life in the U.S., and was only slightly less annoying than the film depicts. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling put an end to the practice in 1992. That year, the Court ruled that soliciting at airports was NOT a protected form of speech under the U.S. Constitution... and therefore, airport authorities or law enforcement could remove or arrest such people (and others who are not passengers or airline/airport employees.)
••••
The film's three co-writers / directors, make appearances in the film. David and Jerry Zucker are the two airport employees on the tarmac, one of whom accidentally misdirects the plane to go crashing into the terminal. Jim Abrams is the guy on the bicycle who gets knocked over by Rex Kramer (in the rear-screen projection) when Kramer is driving himself and the airline employee to the airport.
••••
In addition to the film 'Zero Hour' (1957), the film 'Airplane!' was indirectly spoofing a whole collection of big budget disaster films that had been dominating U.S. film production for ten years: four films involving air emergencies/disasters (with the name 'Airport' in the title), plus other films involving earthquakes, huge skyscraper fires, and sea disasters. 'Airplane!' acted to puncture the disaster film bubble, and such films were never again produced as dramas on as frequent a basis.
In case nobody said it, Geroge Zipp was sort-of based on George Gipp, a character played by Ronald Reagan in the film _Knute Rockeny, All American_ who was a real-life football player who died during his college years. In the film Gipp tells Knute to tell the other players on the team to "win one for the Gipper."
You managed to miss the end credits scene. The FBI warning at the beginning ends with "so there." Great reaction Biss.
You got a lot of the jokes. And don't take this the wrong way, but the majority of young people it goes right over there head. Good job! Keep up the good work!
missed the post credit scene?
'Roger Roger' was used by droids in _The Phantom Menace_, btw.
The Co-Pilot is one of the greatest Basketball Player of all Time. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Because of that, the Kid talks with him about Basketball. And he also still wearing his Lakers Shorts. Greetings from Germany.
This might be my all time favorite reaction . Love that you can enjoy the 80s jokes
Kareem was one of the greatest Basketball players of the era
I've seen a LOT of people react to this movie and yours was the most fun!
There’s. A lot oft timely references that, seeing today for the first time, are hard to get.
That being said. I’ve worked in commercial aviation for over 25 years now. I currently work in ops center for a major international carrier, not a day goes by when some one doesn’t quote this movie.
I’ve been ona Jumpseats observation when, while on the ground, a kid came into the flight deck and the captain asked hi. “Do you like gladiator movies?” I had to leave the cockpit I was laughing so hard.
Leslie Nielsen (the doctor) known to stop by the cockpit on flights he took, step in and tell the pilots “good, luck, we’re all counting on you!”
A US major carrier (Name starts with a D) did a safety video that was 80s themed, at the end they had Kareem (Roger Murdoch) as the FO in the safety video. I lost it!
I notice you like to find the meaning of films as quickly as possible..like within 15 minutes😂. Therefore you need to watch a film like The Usual Suspects. This film is made for people like you. I'm sure you will find it very very interesting 😱🔥
@@johnchauvin2183 without giving the whole plot away usual suspects is the kind of film that makes you think you know the plot until you realise you totally didn't. But wd be good to see if she cd get it right😏🔥🔥🔥

The Muppet Movie or Mad Mad Mad Mad World would be more enjoyable.
@@fiddiehacked duno how old you are chria but those films are for kids. I think she needs something abit more intelligent as her minds always on overtime trying to figure everything out. Not much to figure out in the muppet movie😅
@Brozay; I'm nearing retirement. She likes songs (with clever lyrics) and learning about more actors. There are many cameos from persons who have passed away.
Why do movies have to have killing in them?
Shell Shock = the original term for what eventually came to be and is now known as PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Other synonyms for it include Battle Fatigue and Operational Exhaustion.
Comedian George Carlin explains it all in his comedy bit called "Soft Language" (aka "Euphemisms").
2:10 Your red zone/white zone question actually made me snort laugh. Brilliant!
2:38 - Aha! She laughed! 👈👉🤣 Hilarious reaction, super silly movie, 3 stars is what I'd rate it too. And just so you know: no one laughs at ALL the jokes. Good to hear it from the flight attendant's perspective. I didn't know that pouring fizzy drinks on an airplane was the most annoying thing, for instance! This reaction video made ME laugh, singing along with "Stayin' Alive"! 🤣 That whole part of this video is worth the entire view, just that one scene! Many times the commentary was as funny as the movie! Thanks, Biss!
“Have you ever seen a grown man naked” always makes me laugh my ass off.
I do not get the joke.
Is it shock value.?
@@De5O54 yes ... Some of the gags are there for just that reason.
Great reaction, especially since a lot of the jokes (the ones you didn't really get) were pop cultire references from the time.
As a former flight attendant, you MUST watch comedian George Carlin's routine about flying and airlines! It would be a good one to react to.
Your laugh after you said « nun’s life » is too adorable:)
Underappreciated jokes of this movie: the route of the plane [start in Atlanta, end in Chicago, crosses the Hoover, worried about the weather over the Rockies...]; when the plane comes through the window, the woman who throws her baby over her shoulder; Rex walking THROUGH the wall mirror; When the autopilot is turned off and the plane dips, everyone is thrown FORWARD.
The mirror scene is one of the best physical comedy gags I've ever seen! In the first shot it's a real mirror, and in the second it's just a doorway with an identical mirrored set built on the other side, kind of like in Terminator 2 when Arny is sitting in front of the mirror. What really sells it is the wife is still looking at where he "is".
Close: the actual start route of the plane in the film, is Los Angeles / LAX. Elaine said to Ted that she'd asked to take the 'Atlanta route' when she got to Chicago, and that that's where she'd be going next.
OK, so Flight of the Phoenix, original or remake, is a great airplane movie. But no flight attendants.
"Airplane!" was loosely based on a very serious plane drama, called "Zero Hour!" The basic stakes: plane in trouble, traumatized war pilot the only one who can land, were kept- then they added in every single pun, one-liner, visual gag, pop culture spoof, and zany baloney they could fit into an hour and a half.
Just a couple of gags that most folk don't recognize today: 1) Elaine and Ted in the surf is a recreation of a famous scene from From Here to Eternity featuring Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster; 2) all of the religious nuts asking for donations at the airport actually was a rampant problem in Los Angeles airports in the '70s; 3) when Steve McCrosky is on the phone with his wife, barking orders, he tells her to get word to the milkman about "no more cheese"; back in those days, we actually did have milkmen who delivered us fresh dairy products several times a week. Nice reaction to a great comedy, although I'm sorry you didn't appreciate Johnny's wacky character a bit more.
Great reaction there....if you're looking for a more serious (but with some action and more fun) involving air travel then check out 'Passenger 57' (with Westley Snipes, Tom Sizemore, Bruce Payne & Elizabeth Hurley) it is sort of like 'Die Hard' but in an airplane. ✈️💥😎👍
What about Flight with Denzel Washington or Sully ? Do those qualify?
"Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."
Classic comedy. Laugh a minute and very quotable.
Fun Fact: In a 2008 interview, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told the story of being on a European flight and asked to sit in an empty seat in the cockpit during takeoff so the crew could say they flew with Roger Murdoch.
White-Red Zone Fact: Regarding the argument between announcers concerning the white and red zones at the airport, the producers hired the same voice artists who had made the real-world announcements at Los Angeles International Airport. At the real airport, the white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only, and there's no stopping in the red zone (except for transit buses). They were also married to each other in real life.
Casting Choice Fact: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker chose actors such as Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and Leslie Nielsen because of their reputation for playing no-nonsense characters. Until this film, these actors had not done comedy, so their "straight-arrow" personas and line delivery made the satire in the movie all the more poignant and funny. Bridges was initially reluctant to take his role in the movie, but his sons persuaded him to do it.
The Jive Talking grey hair lady was Barbara Billingsley. She was famous in the 50's as June Cleaver in the popular "Leave It To Beaver" program.
5:24 - It's an old fashioned credit card machine. When you went to a gas station in your car, after pumping the gas, washing the windshield, checking the oil, etc, they would bring that machine up to the driver's window. If they were paying by credit card, they would place the card in the machine, along with a carbon paper receipt and run the handle over it each way. This would make a copy of the card and the business information. Then the customer would get one copy and the other would be sent to the credit card company so that the business could get paid.
7:00 - That's a spoof of scenes in movies where someone is leaving on a train and someone else runs along the station platform waving and yelling to them.
15:35 - That's a spoof of a coffee commercial, and it's even the same actress. A couple is out somewhere, someone offers them more coffee and she declines for her husband, but he accepts. She thinks"Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home." She realizes that she's not buying the a good brand of coffee.
Actually, there IS a scene at the end of the credits. :)
Surely you're not going to watch Airplane!.
I AM going to watch "Airplane!" And don't call me Shirley.
Why yes she is...she's using sure deodorant...and if you think that joke stinks just put more sure on it....
You should watch the political thriller The Jerk starring Steve Martin, about the NIxon Watergate scandal and the Pentagon Papers. It's hilarious!
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
The dancing scene is a spoof of a famous scene from the movie "Saturday Night Fever"
The beach scene is a spoof of a famous scene from the movie "From Here to Eternity"
Good reaction. You have a nice and funny personality. I enjoy watching you. Well done my friend.
Wife: " He never has a second cup at home"
BissFlix: "He's cheating on you"
Hahaha ❤️
Great reaction, @BissFlix.
I love this movie and think it's one of the best comedies ever made. Over the top, ridiculous and silly with lots of gags.
Your reaction during the dancing scene was perfect. Also loved the wink and nod you gave to the "Aisles 13-51" joke.
I look forward to your other reactions! Take care!
The woman thinking to herself is a parody of a well known commercial at the time of Folgers Coffee.
Enjoyed your reaction and loved your dance, we didn’t need the music because that song just plays in your head.
People under 30 never recognize those old credit card devices. 😆
"Look what's wait for you later on" during the flashback dancing scene got me 🤣🤣🤣
This film is ridiculously funny in an extremely timeless way, at least 80% of the jokes are inherently timeless (no reference needed), essentially Dad Jokes. But some jokes/scenes are era specific, even them though are still funny without knowledge of any references. Three standout to me.
The woman with her internal thoughts about what her husband 'doesn't usually do' is a reference to a 70's US commercial. The Jive Speaking old lady is played by an actress who plays a very well known 'well spoken' character in a popular 70's Sitcom. And The guy in the Taxi is played by a very well known businessman in the late 70's who advocated for less government spending. There are certainly more though!
The jokes work by themselves, but are even funnier of course knowing the context.
The start of spoof movies..absolutely love them all
The scene where the man says he'll have a second cup of coffee & his wife thinks to herself, "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" is a take on a 70s coffee commercial for Yuban Coffee. Back then the ad campaign featured a married couple in various scenarios. A host or hostess would ask if anyone would like more coffee. The husband would say something like, "I'd love another cup!" And the wife would think to herself, "Jim never has a second cup of coffee". The actress in this movie happens to be the same actress who did the coffee commercials. So there's the joke of it. Glad you watched this movie. There are a lot of very dated jokes in this movie that won't translate to today especially if you weren't around in the 80s but I hoped you enjoyed it nonetheless. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out and it was hands down one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen to that point. For a while it was all the rage in the U.S. and spawned a number of films with the same type of literal jokes & slapstick comedic sketches.
there was a final scene. the taxi was still counting XD hahahha and the man was like, alright I'll give him one more minute, but that's it. hahahaha love it
That actor playing the doctor is Leslie Nielsen, he's also in the Naked Gun movies (a trilogy), the best comedies ever!
