I saw Leslie Nielsen jogging along Palos Verdes Drive North when I was a kid. I reached over and honked the horn of my mom's car from the passenger seat. He knew he'd been recognized, and pretended to be startled. He stumbled dramatically, then he turned and flashed a big smile at me and waved before jogging on. It was one of the best moments of my life.
+Faith Smith did you watch the movie? its a quote from the movie: "Sir, there's a problem in the cockpit." "The cockpit? What is it?" "It's a little room in the front of the plane, but that's not important right now." -or- "How soon can we land? These people have got to be brought to a hospital." "A hospital? What is it?" "It's a big building with patients, but that's now important now." -or- "You just got a letter from headquarters." "Headquarters? What is it?" "It's a big building with generals, but that's not important right now." get it now? :-)
"LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!" -Best out of character line in Airplane!
I still get sad thinking that Leslie is gone. There are only two people who I sincerely believe are comedy gods. Leslie and Mel Brooks. This is also one of the only movies I can watch over and over. The movie ends and I start it over. I can quote every line and every scene.
RIP Leslie Nielson, Peter Graves, Robert Stack. They all died similarily in age. 84, 84 and 83. Leslie and Peter died within 4 months of each other. They leave a legacy of laughs!
Cana Dude And of course who could forget Peter from the original Mission Impossible? Now finding out if RUclips's got that classic TV show from late 1960s.
@@scoobycarr5558 they also have the show that Peter Graves' Mission:Impossible co-star's Barbara Baine and Martin Landau starred in "Space:1999" on here as well
Some of the best parts were subtle things, such as when the pilots are talking in the cockpit before pushback and a guy outside the plane lifts the hood, checks the oil, cleans the windscreen, etc. And when he's done, Peter Graves hands him a credit card through the window. Absolutely classic.
My favourite line is not one of the most spoken of: "They could be miles off course" "That's impossible! They have instruments!" Cuts to everyone playing clarinets and trumpets in the cockpit. Cracks me up to this day XD
That is actually my favorite part of the movie. lol Also my other favorite part is. "Should we turn on the runway lights?" "No that is exactly what they would expect us to do."
This is the best joke-per-minute film I've ever seen. Literally every frame is a comedy. Every time you see it, you will recognize something new. They are toying with perception, reality and word play all_the_time.
One of THE great moments of my life was sitting in first class, for the first time, on a plane in Phoenix and having Leslie Nielsen walk in and sit down in the seat in front of me. He was much shorter than I imagined, but looked otherwise just like he does here. I was tempted, but resisted the urge to tap him on the shoulder & say "I just wanted to say good luck, we're all counting on you."
Don't get me wrong. Airplane is my all-time favourite comedy movie but the "speaking jive" part of the movie was the only part I didn't find funny. I live over the pond in Northern Ireland and I guess the humour didn't travel.

To see her in a iconic twist to fluently know present day urban street lingo was beyond funny. Kinda of like for you if the Queen "Mum" herself did the same role.
Leslie Nielsen and Peter Graves born in the same year 1926, both passed away same year 2010. Forever united by this classic film, the funniest comedy film of all time without a shadow of a doubt. Rest easy and thanks for the memories.

i was looking for this. airplane took not just "many of lines", it's nearly a verbatim copy of the dialog from zero hour. the magic of airplane happens with the music, facial expressions and the comic timing as they deliver their lines!
“How about some more coffee Johnny? No thanks!” 🤣🤣🤣 “Johnny what do you make of this? This? Why you can make a hat! Or a brooch! Or a pterodactyl!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pretty much all of Johnny's scenes and lines are what I call "throwaway scenes"; they're not needed to move the plot along. However, every single one of them is pure comedy GOLD! Any scene he was in was better and funnier because of how he played that role. Collectively, I think he's the funniest character in the whole movie.
Leslie's brother was the deputy prime minister of Canada, heavy into politics and he is running around with a fart machine, one of the funniest men on the planet , different trajectories in life.
As a young projectionist back in the day, I watched Airplane! 10 times in five days. Found something new to howl at during every viewing. My favourite thing was listening to the audience reactions. I often thought about filming their reactions, but I didn't have a Super 8 camera. I'm not even sure home video tape cameras existed then. Imagine the goodies I'd be able to share if I had owned a camera! Once a week I was the usher. When something startling was about to happen in a movie, I would make my way up to the screen, stand in the dark by an exit door and watch them all react. Forty years later, everyone is doing that on RUclips. A missed opportunity, to be sure.
Having grown watching all the giants - Jabbar, Graves, Nielsen, Bridges and earliest Stack - this movie was absolutely hilarious and enjoyable. Then Billingsly pops up talking jive - amazing. Pure genius.
When I transferred to material control in a factory my new supervisor asked me if I could drive a forklift. I told him I had driven one about 15 years earlier in a different factory. I told him driving a forklift is just like riding a bicycle, it’s just harder to put baseball cards in the spokes. He didn’t get the reference. I work with too many young kids. Sigh.
Friend of mine, we both flew fir an airline. He was lucky, had Leslie Nielsen as a passenger from Seattle to Los Angeles. Asked Flt attendant if they could chat in LA. Unfortunately, Leslie had a tight connection at Tom Bradley terminal. “Oh well” thought Mark. Guess we won’t get to chat. Gets to gate, shutting down engines, checklists to run, etc. Opens cockpit door as main cabin door is opening into jetway. Leslie Nielsen pokes head into cockpit, apologizes, says he wishes he had more time to stay and chat. Then, just before he goes, “gentlemen, we’re all counting on you!” And dashes off the plane. Perfect exit. Great sense of humor. Class act
RIP Neilson and Graves - There scene was so hilarious and epic. Lmao Doctor how so can we land? I can't tell. You can tell me I'm the Doctor. No I mean I'm not sure. Well can't you take a guess? Well, not for another 2 hours. You can't take a guess for another 2 hours? No I mean we can't land for another 2 hours.
Is there anybody else out there that has seen the movie about 50 times! And will watch it again to the end while channel surfing?! Back in 1982 I was a young pilot that had just become a flight instructor and was recommending this movie to everybody!
OH FFS I've seen this film over 50 times since it first came out, I seem to get another joke each time as there are so many, everywhere, but my God it is only now that I too got Otto Pilot OMG
A lot of people don't know that Airplane was almost a line for line copy of a serious movie from 1957 called "Zero Hour!" Watching them side by side is amazing and hilarious.
Just had that opportunity--to the point where I kept quoting all the Airplane! punchlines missing from Zero Hour. Yes, all fans need to see how many scenes play out verbatim. This film, along with Blazing Saddles and Monty Python formed my sense of humor--the best gift a mom and dad can give!
I so miss the great spoof movies, Leslie Neilson made them the best. His Frank Dreben character had me in stitches all the time as a kid. Loaded Weappn with Samuel Jackson was also funny by as hell.
Jesse Bucasas and don't forget that plane was a 5 speed manual transmission...The captain is shifting gears as they take off...still makes me bust out laughing
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 My understanding is the Zucker brothers wanted a prop plane but Michael Eisner, the head of Paramount at the time, insisted it be a jet. So the kept the prop sound effects becase that's what they wanted.
I've never forgotten the scene in the terminal where there is a Movie poster on the wall behind them for "Rocky XXXII" showing an elderly Stallone with boxing gloves. Prophetic! lol
They have nothing funny to hide anyway...that's why they all have targets on their backs for the next generation of writers and audiences who understand life. The karen videos are a taste of things to come....they are "Airplane" humor in real life.
Bunch of TALL guys... Leslie Nielsen 6' 1" - Robert Hays 6'2" - Peter Graves 6' 4" - Kareem Abdul Jabbar 7'2" Note: Peter Graves' older brother is James Arness (Marshal Matt Dillon - Gunsmoke) and even taller at 6' 7". Lloyd Bridges was the midget' at just 6'0"....
One of the funniest films ever. As a Brit > thank you USA for this film!... RIP Leslie Nielsen + Peter Graves + Lloyd Bridges. (++) . All legends.. I first saw this as child in 1980-81 at our family friends house, their dad was a British Airways pilot who managed to a get an early Video of the film for all of us to watch .. we all laughed our socks off,, all ages and both families.. Even if aged 8 I didn't understand everything,, it soon grew on me :).... Also this airline pilot had many many pilot friends between UK+USA who all pissed themselves watching it. This humour is universal and will never die... I can watch this film a 1m times along with Naked Gun and still keep watching it..... Even recently - I was doing a work conference call in the UK, one colleague in scotland, one in northern england/midlands and the rest of us in London. Towards the end of the call one of us used a Airplane joke, then for the next the next moment we all started quoting the classic lines. "Surely you can't be serious....". ...'' yes I remember, I had lasagna'''''.....'what a pisser' ,, etc etc , (+tons more) .. and our scottish colleague came out with the best '....looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!"
I went to see a special showing of this last week, folks, and I'm not exaggerating when I write you that there were numerous explosions of maniacal, hysterical laughter among us all! I was wiping my eyes frequently.
+ecavuto That's great! I went to a showing here in Reno (the little big city where these asshole moviegoers _never_ get uproarious), and there were about three other people in the theater. I'm not a fan of this place.
I remember on the TV Ad (I think), they said it was a joke every 60 seconds. And that sounds about right. Still funny, even now. An interesting thing that I didn't notice for YEARS was that at the VERY end of the credits, when it says something along the lines of "Any similarities to persons living or dead" (etc) there's a blank line and then "So there!" Very funny. (Plus the guy waiting in the taxi cab who says, "I'm waiting just one more minute and THAT'S IT!"
@@JustWasted3HoursHere When I saw the movie for the first time in 1980 and the credits started rolling, people were leaving the theater and I told my husband, "These guys i.e. the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams are so crazy, they'll probably do something with the credits" and sure enough! I've seen it so many times over the past 38 years and it's still funny!
@@lovesmusic36 Yep, and a lot of people think that _Airplane!_ is a spoof of _Airport 77_ and those disaster movies of the 70s (and there IS _some_ of that in there), but actually it is almost a shot-for-shot parody of a movie they bought the rights to before filming called _Zero Hour._ Here's an interesting analysis of that: ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.html
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Yes, that's true. Even the character of Ted Stryker came from Zero Hour. The 1950s was the decade for the typical drive-in theater-type movie. Of course, the "winner" would have to be Plan 9 From Outer Space! Sorry to say that I'm old enough to remember...! But back to Airplane, I think the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams made it for next to no money; between box office revenue and what was then video cassettes, they raked in a fortune!
To think that Leslie Nielsen was the ship captain in Poseidon Adventure, which was a serious role, I'd so different than how most of him know him in Airplane! and Naked Gun.
One of my favourite lines is right at the end. It cuts back to the passenger in Striker's taxi who says.' Well, I'll give him 20 more minutes, but then that's it'
My favorite line was when the ground crew was directing the plane into the terminal and another guy distracted the man by asking where the forklift was and the first guy points with his flashlight, the pilot of the plane thinks he is supposed to direct the plane into the terminal that way the next thing you know the nose of the plane breaks through the terminal window
Favorite line..no one mentioned the two kids with with the coffee."I take mine black... Like my men." NEVER.STOPS.CRACKING.ME.UP. and yes,the flamboyant Johnny was hilarious.Those two were my favorites. Oh, and when the shit literally hit the fan...But the coffee scene was always my favorite part of Airplane! everytime I see it,I end up laughing so hard,I tear up.
+That Damn Guy Again. I agree completely, That joke was far and away the best - especially the reaction of the boy. But would they ever dare to give two kids lines like that in a movie today?
Johnny was great 😂 "Tell me everything that happened up till now" "Well first there were the dinosaurs, then there was a meteor and they all died and turned into oil. And then the Arabs arrived!" 🤣
Leslie Nielsen never did comedy until late in life. He was a serious stage and screen actor for many years, also famous for his key role in the classic 50s Sci-Fi movie, "Forbidden Planet." The same is basically true for Stack and Graves. That's what helps make this movie so funny. For those of us who knew these actors, seeing them doing deadpan humor tortured our funny bones!
@Morbo The Annihilator Absolutely... "How he survived, I'll never know" "So....Howie survived?" "Afraid not,...we lost Howie the next day" "Over Macho Grande ?" "No...i don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande....those wounds run........pretty deep"
Lmao I only caught that a few years after I first saw it. The T.V version had cut it out. After seeing it a few times on TV I finally rented it. A big difference. That belongs in the " things that wouldn't fly today" file.
Almost 2020 and this is STILL one of the funniest movies ever! And I don't mind admitting I nearly peed myself the first time I heard the B1 Battle Droids give us a 'Roger, Roger!'
My mom sat beside Leslie Nielson on a flight, a long time ago. Being my mom, all she could say to him was that she knew he was an actor, but didn't know his name. He took it all in stride. And of course, my mother's name, Shirley.
It wasn't strictly a "line", but I still want to scream with laughter every time I watch Robert Stack pummel his way through that never-ending line of airport panhandlers. He acted out a dark fantasy that I believe many of us covertly harbor. And there was just a hint of the Duke's style when the melee was concluded and Stack went on his way - appropriately so, given Stack's role in "The High and the Mighty" (a VERY early disaster-drama, and one of John Wayne's favorite peacetime-non-Western roles).

That's THE most under-rated line from the film... I love that line!! lmao..."keep them at 24,000......no,..feet"
I can't get over the fact that Leslie squeezes a whoopee cushion everytime he answers a question. Never fully grow up, people. It's hilarious.
Bodenlose Dosenhose - Is that what that was? Weird
Canadians really seem to have a passion for fart jokes - his modern-day successors are Terrance and Philip.
All he ever wanted was to make people laugh.
It’s actually a fart machine he carries around.
@@rizandro Yeah, makes more sense. Don't know why I called it whoopee cushion, it's three years ago. :D
Otto Pilot never showed up for the reunion, probably because he has such an inflated opinion of himself.
Possibly, but I also heard he doesn't like to go "on air" anymore to talk about past movie roles.
I have it on good authority that he doesn't get pumped up for these occasions any more
The pompous windbag.
Ok.Ok.These jokes are deflating.
what an enormous pleasure watching you guys shoot the breeze!
I would have loved to see Robert Hays finish off the interview with his "drinking problem."
“Get ahold of yourself, slaps her, gives her a second whack” everybody following has even more severe weaponry. That’s the best line.
Yes! The extra slap he gets in makes that scene lol
It happens again in Airplane II when she is losing her shit on the witness stand.
Omg I looove that one!! Esp the woman in the queue with the gun 🤣🤣🤣
The extra slap kills me every time.
Just the fact that Leslie as a quite mature adult kept and treasured a fart machine is in and of itself funny / awesome
I’ve seen it 100 times and it STILL makes me laugh! Every single time.
33 people have been to a Turkish prison.
94 people had fish for dinner.
Or had seen a grown man naked
102 now, and then...
Their name is Shirley
@@Bonez0r Ah, I see. I had the lasagna.
Both Leslie Nielsen & Peter Graves were 82 years young at the reunion. They are sorely missed.
Nielsen skipped his brother Erik's funeral to be on this. What a guy. He didn't even go to his best friend Robert Goulet's funeral. What a guy...not.
Having grown watching all the giants - Jabbar, Graves, Nielsen, Bridges and earliest Stack - this movie was absolutely hilarious and enjoyable. Then Billingsly pops up talking jive - amazing. Pure genius.
Don, Lloyd Bridges was in an episode of the Three Stooges.
@@shermankelly9062WTF??!! SURELY you can't be serious!
When I transferred to material control in a factory my new supervisor asked me if I could drive a forklift. I told him I had driven one about 15 years earlier in a different factory. I told him driving a forklift is just like riding a bicycle, it’s just harder to put baseball cards in the spokes. He didn’t get the reference. I work with too many young kids. Sigh.
I would've given you a raise for that!
Friend of mine, we both flew fir an airline. He was lucky, had Leslie Nielsen as a passenger from Seattle to Los Angeles. Asked Flt attendant if they could chat in LA. Unfortunately, Leslie had a tight connection at Tom Bradley terminal. “Oh well” thought Mark. Guess we won’t get to chat.
Gets to gate, shutting down engines, checklists to run, etc. Opens cockpit door as main cabin door is opening into jetway.
Leslie Nielsen pokes head into cockpit, apologizes, says he wishes he had more time to stay and chat.
Then, just before he goes, “gentlemen, we’re all counting on you!”
And dashes off the plane. Perfect exit. Great sense of humor. Class act
RIP those guys. Timeless movie.
they will be horsecrap on the fan a lot of times
RIP Neilson and Graves - There scene was so hilarious and epic. Lmao
Doctor how so can we land? I can't tell. You can tell me I'm the Doctor. No I mean I'm not sure. Well can't you take a guess? Well, not for another 2 hours. You can't take a guess for another 2 hours? No I mean we can't land for another 2 hours.
I am busting out laughing even right now....that happens today so often with the miscommunication.
the same vein of humor as "Who's On First?"
and the magic of the humour - delivered in absolutely dead pan.
good old leslie
Is there anybody else out there that has seen the movie about 50 times! And will watch it again to the end while channel surfing?!
Back in 1982 I was a young pilot that had just become a flight instructor and was recommending
this movie to everybody!
When Peter Graves shares his story about the little boy at the check out with his mom. That made me laugh. :D
"Otto Pilot". Oh My God, I'm so embarrassed. I just got it.
ilovebeinagirl 😂😂😂
OH FFS I've seen this film over 50 times since it first came out, I seem to get another joke each time as there are so many, everywhere, but my God it is only now that I too got Otto Pilot OMG
Nidge OSullivan i’m slow. i thought it was something different.
what’s your unserstanding of the joke?
i also just got it, but i watched the movie in italian so it does not translate
@@pauldwalker The autopilot's name was "Otto"...Otto-pilot.
A classic comic film from so long ago, and in 2021 it’s still as funny yet as it was back then. 10/10 film
The serious & straight actors made this film a timeless comedy
Peter Graves story about the boy in the supermarket is hilarious!
Yes it is!! Haha
And the way he repeated his line to the kid in the store, was identical to the way he delivered it in the movie, even had the same facial expression!
R.I.P Leslie Nielson. What a great actor.
Bloody Hell!! Peter Graves!! OMFGAA!!
the kid in the supermarket and Gladiator movies reference!! I lost it!a
THAT is comedy!
I've heard the story in a couple of different interviews, but he told it really funny this time. LMAO too!
He could've gotten into trouble if he asked the kid if he'd ever seen a grown man naked!
Say uh..They BOUGHT those tickets, they KNEW what they were getting into!
I say; let em' crash
A lot of people don't know that Airplane was almost a line for line copy of a serious movie from 1957 called "Zero Hour!" Watching them side by side is amazing and hilarious.
Just had that opportunity--to the point where I kept quoting all the Airplane! punchlines missing from Zero Hour. Yes, all fans need to see how many scenes play out verbatim. This film, along with Blazing Saddles and Monty Python formed my sense of humor--the best gift a mom and dad can give!
In fact, to avoid the possible lawsuits they bought the right to the Zero Hour and did whatever liked to do. The result is this fantastic parody.
This reunion was as funny as the movie itself. This shows the great chemistry of this actors.
Graves and Nielsen...true gentlemen :)
I so miss the great spoof movies, Leslie Neilson made them the best. His Frank Dreben character had me in stitches all the time as a kid. Loaded Weappn with Samuel Jackson was also funny by as hell.
And Hot Shots
And "Repossessed"
What I love most about this movie is that a jet liner has engines that sound like an old piston airplane. Classic.
Jesse Bucasas and don't forget that plane was a 5 speed manual transmission...The captain is shifting gears as they take off...still makes me bust out laughing
Yes! I loved that! Guess I'm not alone loving the old Intake/compression/firing/exhaust ....
I believe that was on purpose, to further replicate "Zero Hour!"
@@lauranolastnamegiven3385 My understanding is the Zucker brothers wanted a prop plane but Michael Eisner, the head of Paramount at the time, insisted it be a jet. So the kept the prop sound effects becase that's what they wanted.
I've never forgotten the scene in the terminal where there is a Movie poster on the wall behind them for "Rocky XXXII" showing an elderly Stallone with boxing gloves. Prophetic! lol
2:50 perfect explanation of deadpan humor. Hide the fun parts and find them yourselves. Makes it way more hysterical. No movies these days do the same
They have nothing funny to hide anyway...that's why they all have targets on their backs for the next generation of writers and audiences who understand life. The karen videos are a taste of things to come....they are "Airplane" humor in real life.
Usually theses reunions suck, but this was fun!
Hey Mike, Lloyd Bridges was in an episode of the Three Stooges.
Worst of all, I think they all last too short. Every guest only seem to have time to answer one question.
"Identify yourself and give me your position..."
"Ted Striker, sitting down and facing front...but why's that important?" LMAO!!!
i miss Leslie Nielsen so much
Bunch of TALL guys...
Leslie Nielsen 6' 1" - Robert Hays 6'2" - Peter Graves 6' 4" - Kareem Abdul Jabbar 7'2"
Note: Peter Graves' older brother is James Arness (Marshal Matt Dillon - Gunsmoke) and even taller at 6' 7". Lloyd Bridges was the midget' at just 6'0"....
It is a criminal shame this cast never had a crossover with the Night Court cast. For obvious reasons.
The battle of Macho Grande....... NEVER FORGET!!!!
Don't they serve Macho Grande's at Starbucks now?
@@mexicanspec For people with a drinking problem
Over macho grande? I don't think I'll ever get over it.
One of the funniest films ever. As a Brit > thank you USA for this film!... RIP Leslie Nielsen + Peter Graves + Lloyd Bridges. (++) . All legends.. I first saw this as child in 1980-81 at our family friends house, their dad was a British Airways pilot who managed to a get an early Video of the film for all of us to watch .. we all laughed our socks off,, all ages and both families.. Even if aged 8 I didn't understand everything,, it soon grew on me :).... Also this airline pilot had many many pilot friends between UK+USA who all pissed themselves watching it. This humour is universal and will never die... I can watch this film a 1m times along with Naked Gun and still keep watching it..... Even recently - I was doing a work conference call in the UK, one colleague in scotland, one in northern england/midlands and the rest of us in London. Towards the end of the call one of us used a Airplane joke, then for the next the next moment we all started quoting the classic lines. "Surely you can't be serious....". ...'' yes I remember, I had lasagna'''''.....'what a pisser' ,, etc etc , (+tons more) .. and our scottish colleague came out with the best '....looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!"
My favorite bits include Billingsley speaking jive and all the antics of Johnny (“I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl…”)
And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothing...
Don't call me "Shirley" and let's reconnect with our passengers and jive talkin' saving favorites.🎯🤣🛩🌅 Stay safe everyone!
I went to see a special showing of this last week, folks, and I'm not exaggerating when I write you that there were numerous explosions of maniacal, hysterical laughter among us all! I was wiping my eyes frequently.
+ecavuto That's great! I went to a showing here in Reno (the little big city where these asshole moviegoers _never_ get uproarious), and there were about three other people in the theater.
I'm not a fan of this place.
I remember on the TV Ad (I think), they said it was a joke every 60 seconds. And that sounds about right. Still funny, even now.
An interesting thing that I didn't notice for YEARS was that at the VERY end of the credits, when it says something along the lines of "Any similarities to persons living or dead" (etc) there's a blank line and then "So there!"
Very funny. (Plus the guy waiting in the taxi cab who says, "I'm waiting just one more minute and THAT'S IT!"
@@JustWasted3HoursHere When I saw the movie for the first time in 1980 and the credits started rolling, people were leaving the theater and I told my husband, "These guys i.e. the Zucker brothers and Jim Abrahams are so crazy, they'll probably do something with the credits" and sure enough! I've seen it so many times over the past 38 years and it's still funny!
@@lovesmusic36 Yep, and a lot of people think that _Airplane!_ is a spoof of _Airport 77_ and those disaster movies of the 70s (and there IS _some_ of that in there), but actually it is almost a shot-for-shot parody of a movie they bought the rights to before filming called _Zero Hour._ Here's an interesting analysis of that: ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.html
@@JustWasted3HoursHere Yes, that's true. Even the character of Ted Stryker came from Zero Hour. The 1950s was the decade for the typical drive-in theater-type movie. Of course, the "winner" would have to be Plan 9 From Outer Space! Sorry to say that I'm old enough to remember...! But back to Airplane, I think the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams made it for next to no money; between box office revenue and what was then video cassettes, they raked in a fortune!
"you can't take a guess for a couple of hours". That part always has me in stitches
Kareem NEVER came off badly with the public... he's one of the greatest ball players of all time!
we know
YOU try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
The hell I do!
Roger!
Listen, kid, I get that same crap every night.
Leslie Nielsens fart machine never gets old! 😂😂😂
Engraved on his tombstone is “Let Er Rip”! Even in death he keeps us laughing.
To think that Leslie Nielsen was the ship captain in Poseidon Adventure, which was a serious role, I'd so different than how most of him know him in Airplane! and Naked Gun.
That is truly one of the funniest movies in history
I was 19 when Airplane come out i'm 60 now never gets old rip to Mr Neilson And Mr Graves
Bad news. Fog is getting thicker. And Leon's getting larger!
Yes! Johnny was the best.
Airline negligent. Passengers certain to die. There's a SALE at Penneys.
It's sad that we don't have good comedy's like this anymore.
R.I.P. Stephen Stucker. Such an amazingly funny guy who left way too early.😥But his famous quotes will live on.
That's the most boring line
if there's a blooper reel, it must be gold!
Over forty years later and this show is still infinitely quotable.
People dedicated to making you happy. God-bless them all!
Just watched 1 and 2 again it's a classic it never gets old got a huge crush on Julie Haggerty as well such pretty eyes.
I love them all and how humble they were.
Thank you for being such an unforgettable part of my life.
I just want to tell you all good luck. We're all counting on you.
I say this line every time I walk in the bathroom when my wife is sitting on the toilet!
@@Area51Gregos You walk in on your wife going to the toilet? :/
One of my favourite lines is right at the end. It cuts back to the passenger in Striker's taxi who says.' Well, I'll give him 20 more minutes, but then that's it'
That was Howard Jarvis, a California politician.
My favorite line was when the ground crew was directing the plane into the terminal and another guy distracted the man by asking where the forklift was and the first guy points with his flashlight, the pilot of the plane thinks he is supposed to direct the plane into the terminal that way the next thing you know the nose of the plane breaks through the terminal window
that was great. if i'm not mistaken, the crew guys were cameos by writer/directors David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams. not sure which 2.
for all the great lines - and there are many, many - there is also tons of visual humor, that maybe doesn't get the respect it should
More than one airline pilot said that "plane hitting the window" thing has actually or almost happened! "Art imitates life."
I use that "I picked the wrong week to stop..." all the time, and just change up what it is based on the moment.
A throwaway movie made with almost no budget.
And after seeing it soooooo many times over the years....it's still HILARIOUS!!!
Favorite line..no one mentioned the two kids with with the coffee."I take mine black... Like my men."
NEVER.STOPS.CRACKING.ME.UP. and yes,the flamboyant Johnny was hilarious.Those two were my favorites. Oh, and when the shit literally hit the fan...But the coffee scene was always my favorite part of Airplane! everytime I see it,I end up laughing so hard,I tear up.
+That Damn Guy Again. I agree completely, That joke was far and away the best - especially the reaction of the boy. But would they ever dare to give two kids lines like that in a movie today?
My recollection of this great line- when not being edited for TV -was ...I take it hot and black ...like my men
I still use that line whenever I get the chance.
And Macy's is having a sale!
Johnny was great 😂
"Tell me everything that happened up till now"
"Well first there were the dinosaurs, then there was a meteor and they all died and turned into oil. And then the Arabs arrived!" 🤣
Leslie Nielsen never did comedy until late in life. He was a serious stage and screen actor for many years, also famous for his key role in the classic 50s Sci-Fi movie, "Forbidden Planet." The same is basically true for Stack and Graves. That's what helps make this movie so funny. For those of us who knew these actors, seeing them doing deadpan humor tortured our funny bones!
Cream? No, thank you. I take it black.... like my men.
Imagine that joke in nowdadays movie
Berly Tannyono Putra Never happen!
"But he came unglued"
"Buddy came unglued??"
"NOOO...Buddy was a ROCK...best tailgunnar in the outfit"
@Morbo The Annihilator
Absolutely...
"How he survived, I'll never know"
"So....Howie survived?"
"Afraid not,...we lost Howie the next day"
"Over Macho Grande ?"
"No...i don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande....those wounds run........pretty deep"
Lmao I only caught that a few years after I first saw it. The T.V version had cut it out. After seeing it a few times on TV I finally rented it. A big difference. That belongs in the " things that wouldn't fly today" file.
Almost 2020 and this is STILL one of the funniest movies ever! And I don't mind admitting I nearly peed myself the first time I heard the B1 Battle Droids give us a 'Roger, Roger!'
One of????????
@@dwlopez57 Yeah, up there with 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' and 'A Fish Called Wanda' in my humble opinion.
"Son, do you like movies about gladiators?"
M Detlef 😂😏🤣😅
At least he didn't use the men taking a shower question in the supermarket.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker or even asking the kid, "Have you ever been in a Turkish Prison?"
Best line are when reporters are talking with Bridges and than exclaim they are going to take pictures then steal every hanging picture 😂😂😂
One of the best comedy movies of all time.
My mom sat beside Leslie Nielson on a flight, a long time ago. Being my mom, all she could say to him was that she knew he was an actor, but didn't know his name. He took it all in stride. And of course, my mother's name, Shirley.
Gregory Kett
Great story!
what a coinicdence
And don't call me Shirley.
Gregory Kett Did he bring his fart machine on board? 😊
It wasn't strictly a "line", but I still want to scream with laughter every time I watch Robert Stack pummel his way through that never-ending line of airport panhandlers. He acted out a dark fantasy that I believe many of us covertly harbor. And there was just a hint of the Duke's style when the melee was concluded and Stack went on his way - appropriately so, given Stack's role in "The High and the Mighty" (a VERY early disaster-drama, and one of John Wayne's favorite peacetime-non-Western roles).
Help Jerry's kids? Oyyy vey.
Jews for Jesus?
And the dog at his house mauling that guy was great too!
I saw "The High and the Mighty" as a small child...the way they had to scuttle their suitcases affected my attitude toward collecting too much stuff!!
....SCIENTOLOGYYYYY!!!
Greatest movie of all time !!!
