    Some of my favorite, more subtle gags are:
    1) There are dozens of jars of mayonnaise behind the doctor at the Mayo Clinic, which is a real and prestigious hospital. Somehow, I must have seen this film at least a dozen times before I finally noticed this gag, which isn't all that subtle.
    2) It does not make sense that a film made in 1980 has a younger character who flew in World War 2, which ended in 1945. This storyline comes from the melodrama "Zero Hour!" which inspired this spoof. It did make sense in that 1957 film.
    3) The name of Rex Kramer's seemingly friendly but actually vicious dog is "Shep," which is the name of the dog in at least one of the "Lassie" films about a boy and his canine best friend.
    4) During the doctor's pep talk to Ted, he mentions a character named George Zipp. This is a reference to George Gipp (1895-1920). He played American football for the famous team of the University of Notre Dame. Gipp died from infections which would likely be cured with today's medicine. In the Hollywood, probably fictional, version of him on his deathbed, he asked the coach that one day in the future, when victory seemed unlikely, the team should find a way to "win just one for the Gipper." When the doctor in this film says, "win one for the Zipper," the music playing is the "fight song" for the University of Notre Dame "Fighting Irish" football team.
    5) There is a scene where the chief in the control tower asks for the compass bearing of the plane. The radar operator is playing an Atari basketball game instead, and he gives the time remaining in the game as the compass bearing.
    6) Every time the jet aircraft is shown flying, you can hear the sound of propeller engines.

      One of my favourites is when Kramer goes to adjust his tie at home in front of the mirror and we see the dog attack behind him. The scene cuts to the dog for a moment and then back to Kramer to the same POV as before, but it's the Kramer in the mirror that walks out. Took me years before I noticed that edit in the scene.

    This was made during the era of dramatic disaster/catastophe movies (ex.

Also, many of the main characters were actors who were known for their serious roles and this movie was such a departure for many of them. That added to the absurdity of the film and made it even more enjoyable. A great funny movie and it was a pleasure seeing it again through your eyes. BTW, don’t call me Sherly.

    Leslie Nielsen had been a well known dramatic actor for decades - in the fifties, he starred in Forbidden Planet, which greatly influenced Star Trek. Airplane was his first comic role, at least for this kind of wacky comedy, and the rest of his career consisted of similar roles. The movie parodies Love in the Afternoon (the girl running alongside the plane, instead of a train, waving goodbye to her boyfriend), From Here to Eternity (the wave washing over the two lovers on the beach, only this time with kelp), and Knute Rockne, All American (the story about the dying words of George Zip, instead of George Gip - that's why the Notre Dame fight song plays at the end of the scene). "He never has a second cup of coffee at home" spoofs a coffee commercial that had been running constantly for several years at the time, until everyone knew it by heart and was sick of it. The man waiting in the taxi is Howard Jarvis, then a famous (not to say notorious) California politician.

    There's lots of pop culture references in this movie that you likely missed, but it's still funny. So glad to see someone "get" all the stupid puns, etc. There was one pair of reactors a while back who watched this and they just didn't get most of it. It was disheartening to see someone not even notice "and don't call me Shirley."

    Amazing reaction! I watched this back in the 80s and have watched hundreds of times since.
    The 'staying alive' scene is still one of my favourites, me and my mate kept rewinding the bit where Ted jumps back on the dancefloor and you hear a springboard sound... we creased up keep repeating it and we wore the VHS tape out at that bit!
    To this day is still say "What a pisser!" pretty much everyday, and i annoy my friends all the time saying "And dont call me Shirley!". Another line i love (and have been known to work into sentences) is "Nervous?", "Yes", First time?" "No, ive been nervous lots of times!"
    Its great watching a fellow Brit doing reactions, I do comedy reactions myself and i don't see too many Brits on RUclips doing this stuff! I also love that you watch classic movies with your son. My son is currently 7 and i hope to follow in your footsteps and introduce him to classic movies on my channel when hes a bit older.
    Top Secret is another classic, so similar to Airplane, oh and ofcourse you must watch Airplane 2... i still get some of the jokes from the two movies mixed up!
    Keep up the good work. Look forward to your Airplane 2 reaction.

    The film is a parody of every disaster and war film from the 70's and before. You may not get all the jokes because much of the film has gags about 60's American pop culture, which includes TV commercials, old TV shows and other events.
    The big reason the film is hilarious is the director cast mostly classically trained stage , film and television actors who don't typically do comedy. Robert Stack was popular in the 1960's TV drama "The Untouchables, " Lloyd Bridges (father of beau and Jeff Bridges)starred in TV adventure drama "Seahunt," Peter Graves starred in the original "Mission Impossible," Leslie Nielsen starred in "The Bold Ones", "The FBI," "The Poseiden Adventure," and other film/TV roles. Barbara Billingsley was the mother in the 1950's-1960's "Leave It to Beaver." Other notable cast members are James Hong, and Ann Nelson.
    The wife watching her husband requesting a second cup of coffee is a parody of a 1960's Yuban Coffee commercial. The commercial is available to view on RUclips.
    There are references to films such as "Airport, " "The Poseiden Adventure, " "From Here to Eternity, " "Zero Hour," "Pride of the Yankees, " and several more..

    There are a lot of subtle jokes. In the hospital scene, there is an announcement over the hospital's PA system. It is for the doctor that is in the plane.
    The background noise of the plane is the sound of a propeller plane, but they are in a jet.
    You really have to watch everything for the visual humor, and listen to everything for the audio humor.
    Watch it again, you won't be disappointed.

    Leslie Nielson had a long career in dramatic movies and TV shows before this. So did the other older actors. The pilot was known as the leader in the Mission Impossible tv series of the 60s. Capitan Cramer played toughguy Elliot Ness in the Untouchables TV show of the 50s. Lloyd Bridges played in lots of westerns of the 50s, including the classic High Noon. Barbara Billingsly was the mom in the wholesome family series Leave it to Beaver.
    Part of the fun of seeing this in 1980 was all these actors playing against type.
