The two guys speaking jive were told to make up their lines which weren't "real." The woman who was able to translate was Barbara Billingsley. She was famous playing June Cleaver, the mother, in the early tv series Leave It to Beaver, as June Cleaver. She was always dressed up, with an iconic string of pearls, was unflappable and lived for her housework and getting dinner ready for husband and sons. In other words, an idolized but fantasy vanilla American middle class suburban lifestyle. As the women's movement began, the image she portrayed was hated as so unattainable. The producers could not have picked a more perfect woman to "flip the narrative."
FYI those guys taught her how to speak it and she was delighted to do that.
Wow "unflappable"? How did I stumble into the genius brainiac version of RUclips 😂😂😂😂? That's the most brilliant phrasing I've ever had the pleasure of reading -- on RUclips -- in my entire life 😂😂😂
I always love how everyone who reacts to this movie just accepts the concept of all the lights on the runway being plugged into one electrical outlet in the control tower with an extension cord.
One of my uncles worked the control tower in Newark New Jersey, he said the equipment was so outdated it was scary. He said one of the screens in the tower was hooked up to a commodore 128 keyboard at the time
By the time you get that far into the movie, "the willing suspension of disbelief" has ceased to be a temporary choice and has become a way of life.
yes that's the only part that wasn't a joke!
that's hilarious!
FUN FACT Director Cameo: Jerry Zucker, David Zucker (who made this movie): appear as the ground crew at the movie's beginning (they are the ones that direct the plane into the window of the terminal).
The win, one for the zipper joke and the Notre Dame fight song
Is from the movie “Knute Rockne all American”. About a dying college football player who tells the coach
, “one day when the brakes are beating the boys tell the team to win just one for the Gipper.”
Played by Ronald Reagan who was also referenced earlier in the movie.
The kissing on the beach is "From Here to Eternity" (1953). The jive-talking grandma is Barbara Billingsley who played the mom on 'Leave it to Beaver"(TV Sitcom 1957 - 1963).
Look closely. That's not her sweater that woman throws in the air when the plane comes through the airport window, that's her baby. She throws her baby in the air and runs away. It's one of the MANY little throwaway jokes in this movie.
Literally a throwaway joke in that instance.
The plot for this movie comes from a straight dramatic film called Zero Hour! (with an explanation point), that the producers bought the rights to and remade it into this masterpiece. Character names and dialogue come direct from the original script.
The guy in the taxi is Howard Jarvis, who created an organization to fight against every tax increase in California. He's dead now, but his organization still fights against taxes.
The "Win one for the Zipper" scene is from "Knute Rockne, All American", with the true life football player George Gipp, played by Ronald Reagan, who dies in the middle of a season, and the movie had a line where the dying Gipp told the team to "Win one for the Gipper".
The beach scene is in reference to a really old movie called from here to eternity, Burt Lancaster and the female lead are making out on the beach in their swimsuits and the waves keep coming in as they are kissing. That scene is used in a lot of comedies because it’s just ridiculous that he’s making out and the waves just keep coming
The female lead's name was Deborah Kerr.....
Also amusing is the use of a catfish as a prop, since catfish are freshwater fish.
After Blazing Saddles, this is the funniest movie ever…should watch the ending credits for ridiculous titles and the cab scene after the credits.
fun fact: Captain Clarence is played by Peter Graves who was in the original Mission Impossible
Yes, they filled the supporting cast with the somber square-jawed men of action who'd become stars on popular TV dramas: Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, and Leslie Nielsen. Part of the joke was supposed to be that nobody had seen them in a goofy comedy like this before, and that worked, but Leslie Nielsen surprised everyone by being a natural at this kind of deadpan parody humor, and he entered a whole new phase of his career, doing many movies (and a TV series) in this vein.
Welcome to the only 1 hour & 28 minute dad joke
"Better be some sugar cubes, Bitch!" LOL!!!
Fun fact: the aircraft marshalls (dude directing the plane with orange batons into the window of the terminal) are the Zucker brothers. The directors.
This was the movie that created a new career path for Leslie Nielsen.
my aunt owns the house Leslie lived in ntil he was about 4 years old, in Regina, Canada 🙂
Back then, not only was there no pg 13, but a lot of shows and movies had adult references that kids just didn't catch or understand. As long as the sexual references went over kids' heads, it was considered ok.
The Turkish prison scene is in reference to a movie called midnight express, a guy gets busted with drugs in Turkey and goes to prison and it’s just the worst most foul place. When he’s there he meets another prisoner that befriends him and he tries to start a relationship with him in a shower scene but the guy turns him down because he hasn’t been in prison long enough to go gay yet I guess 🤷🏾. The guy ends up killing a guard that tries to rape him, takes his uniform and escapes the prison
Great movie tho...
Oh an incredible film, Brad Davis (Robert Creel Davis) was amazing in it
The horse in bed was a reference both to a legend about Tsarina Catherine the Great of Russia, and a scene from _The Godfather_ . Hare Krishna cultists asking for donations in airports were ubiquitous at the time of the movie; the additional joke was having the guys dressed as Krishnas being asked for a donation by "The Church of Religious Consciousness". While the movie as a whole is based on _Zero Hour!_ , Robert Stack is playing basically the same role he did 25 years earlier in another airplane disaster movie called _The High and the Mighty_ starring John Wayne. The soldier in the mental hospital who thinks he's Broadway star Ethel Merman was played by Broadway star Ethel Merman.
Congratulations! You're the first Airplane! reactors who I've heard get the Harlem Globetrotters gag.
just want to tell you both good luck, were all counting on you
first off, i laughed my ass off beginning to end! I'm a kid of that time and back then it was SO different- we could get away with that shit in a PG movie because our sensitivity levels were so much more open and relaxed and we didn't worry about this stuff as much. The modern sane world could tell when a joke was a joke and movies could make fun of stuff they just can't today.....it's sad because some of the comedy and satire will never happen again (EXAMPLE: BLAZING SADDLES)
Another great yet underrated movie in a similar vein is Top Secret with Val Kilmer. It has lots of visual gags.
I was totally going to say that! If there is one movie of this type that you should not miss, it’s Top Secret. I can still quote almost every line to this day. One of my favorites from childhood and you two would really enjoy it.
Same trio (ZAZ) wrote & directed Airplane! & Top Secret! (
It's anything but underrated. It was massively successful both nationally and abroad. It was so influential it launched both protagonists' acting career (this was their first movie) and pivoted Leslie Nielsen's and Lloyd Bridges' careers from serious dramatic movies to comedy, it singlehandedly created the deadpan spoof genre which lasted two decades (and the witers and directors contributed significantly to it with several more successful movies) and killed airplane disaster movies for good for over ten years because no one could take them seriously anymore. Before TV pivoted towards streaming and on demand content, there was not a year when it had not been broadcasted somewhere sooner or later. Finally the movie itself is preserved in the Library of Congress, and is in the American Film Institute's top ten of best comedies.
This movie is as far from underrated (and deservedly so) as humanly possible.
Hey there, you two always glad to see one of your reactions. Fun facts...... The Japanese suicide ritual is called sepaku. The married couple that were arguing over the PA really did work at LAX during that time, and the director decided to put them in the movie......
34:36 That is the Fight song of Notre Dame University. The whole story about George Zipp is a play on (apocryphal) story of George Gipp, a halfback on the Notre Dame football team. In 1920 George Gipp fell ill and died in the hospital.
On November 10, 1928; when the Notre Dame team was down significantly at half-time, head coach Knute Rockne allegedly told his players in a halftime speech how George Gipp had asked from his deathbed that the team, one day, "Go out there and give it all they've got, and win just one for the Gipper". This speech supposedly rallied the team to a 12-6 victory over the Army Academy Black Knights.
This story was made famous by it's retelling in the 1940 Ronald Regan film, Knute Rockne, All American.
I haven’t seen anyone comment it yet, the two announcers arguing at the beginning of the movie are actually a married couple that were doing the announcements at LAX at the time.
One part of the movie almost nobody gets is the one where Ted decides he will land the plane and you can hear the audience cheering and clapping. My dad told me that back in the 40s and 50s there was this type of generic movie where there was a hero that past the first half of the movie would feel beaten and defeated and would give up. Then, close to the end, he would re-gain self-confidence somehow and would decide he would face the villain. At that point, audiences from back then would cheer and clap for real in the theater.
One small note, the magic trick with the lady with the eggs in her mouth wasn't a camera trick or editing. It's an actual trick magicians do.
I don't know how it works for sure, but I'm positive Leslie has a palmed egg in his hand and she has at least half a shell she moves around in her mouth with her tongue. The bird flying out though, dunno how they did that. For it to actually fly out once the shell was cracked, assuming it wasn't some fake bird on a wire or something.
@@mattschliemann9683 He had eggs below the tray to his right. That's why his right hand would drop down out of sight after each time he "took" an egg from her mouth. He was just getting the next one. His slight of hand isn't very good, it was fairly easy to see, but that adds to the joke.
Yeah, she had something like a fake egg shell on her tongue. She’d extend it, then retract it when his hand covered her mouth. He’d grab an egg from underneath where his hand was hidden.
I love the fact your fire in the background with the added transparency of the clips helps avoids the copyright sniffing bot with so little effort 😆
Liam Neilson Starring in Taken by the Naked Gun! 🤭🤭🤭🤭
If you’re wondering what happened to guy in cab, it’s in the end credits FYI
The music that played when the doctor gave striker a confidence speech, was the Noter Dame fight song, it is satirist a biographical movie called Knute Rockne all American,
( JIMMIE WALKER / DYNOMITE ) WAS THE ONE CHECKING THE OIL ON THE AIRCRAFT 😊 YEAH JUST SO SO MUCH GREAT STUFF YOU GUYS! 😊
( FROM HERE TO ETERNITY ) YOU GUYS! 😊 SO MUCH UNREAL DOUBLE ENTENDRE AND IT'S JUST A GREAT TOP COMEDY CLASSIC FOR SURE 😊
Scary Movie 3 was written by David Zucker, one of the writer/directors of Airplane!
14:37 The first gentleman would like Porterhouse steak, with Coffee to drink. The second gentleman would like the fish, fried in butter with a salad on the side.
It's the Notre Dame fight song.
Fun fact: Liam Neilson was in the group Oasis. He also teamed up with his brother Leslie in the supergroup Nelson... Because there's no 'I' in ream. 🧙🏼♀️
The beach scene is "From Here to Eternity"
Brilliant movie and reaction
5 years before the movie, there was an actual food poisoning incident onboard a plane. Contaminated omelets caused nearly 200 people to get sick. By luck, the pilots had ordered steaks and didn’t get sick so they were able to make an emergency landing. The incident resulted in recommendations that pilots and passengers be served different meals during flight.
The egg scene: I read somewhere that the woman actually only had half an eggshell in her mouth. The "trick" was pulled off because Leslie Nielson was skilled at sleight at hand.
The guy checking the oil is Jimmie Walker..or JJ if you will from Good Times
Beach scene: From Here To Eternity.
Great choice 😂
It' totally went over your head that there were tons of mayonnaise jars at the mayo clinic.
5:44 those are jars of mayonnaise. The doctor is at the Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic is a real medical facility but in this movie they’re using a play on words by showing mayonnaise (mayo).
7:26 yes that’s old school credit card machine but they’re in an airplane. Pilots don’t pay for services in airplanes and the cockpit windows do not open.
You probably never saw "Leave it to Beaver"
One more scene after the end credits.
24:19 Perfect timing.
One of the reasons this movie was a hit was because of so many cameos from dramatic actors from 50's and 60's every knew at the time.
PG-13 came about because of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins...they were deemed too violent to be rated PG.
"Johnnie" reminds me of the kind of employees Elon Musk found inhabiting Twitter.
Still holding out for you guys to bring back the dragons for the intros and outros or something
"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.
*PG-13* was created following the release of *(Gremlins)* parents thought it was too violent for young children
Two things you missed 1: The sound of the plane is propellers, not jets and 2: You have to watch the film past the credits for a bonus scene of the guy still sitting in the cab.
Scientology was invented by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1954.
The actors/actresses were mostly known for serious roles until this movie. They were told to play it as seriously as best they could to make it seem flawless and normal.
It also went over your head that, that was JJ from Good times. I guess you don't play sports because that is the super star Basketball player in the cockpit. Here you go: Hara-kiri is a ritualized form of suicide with roots in 12th century Japanese samurai warrior culture. Rather than be captured, a defeated swordsman would stab himself in the left belly, draw the blade to the right, then pull upwards
That was her baby not her sweater that she threw 10 feet in the air
15:06 🤣🤣
The genius of this movie is that there are a ton of older legitimate stars in this movie that were known for their serious roles. And they recreated their serious roles in a comedic setting. Striker, Robert Stack, was the star of the old tv show The Untouchables and other gangster type stuff. Leslie Neilson the doctor, I am sure you know from the Naked Gun movies. He was famous for detective type stuff and most famously he was the Starship Captain on the classic sci fi movie Forbidden Planet. The guy that was always picking a bad day for quitting stuff is Lloyd Bridges. He was a big star in the 50's and 60's and his sons, Jeff and Beaux Bridges are maybe more famous than him. Even though you guys may be two young to know them as well. The main pilot was Peter Graves. He was the star of the original tv show Mission Impossible. The old woman that spoke Jive was Leave it to Beavers mom, June Cleaver. The little girl getting the IV was on a ton of Love Boat episodes. Ted's gf Elaine is now the mom in the sequel to "A Christmas Story" that just came out on HBO. She and Ted did some other things too separately, that I have forgotten what. Oh the comedian J.J. Walker from Good Times was the airplane mechanic in the beginning that was checking the oil. There might be a few others I am not remembering now.
You gotta do the sequel now, they go to space 😂
The movie with the beach makeout scene you were trying to think of was "From Here to Eternity". The beach scene at the beginning of Grease was probably also alluding to that scene since it was released in the 50s when Grease was set, though it may also have been a reference to the teen beach movies with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.
9:30 sounds of a train engine, not a plane.
and when it's flying, the sound is of a propeller plane not jets
When I saw this pop up, I knew I had to watch. Yes, some of the humor is too sensitive for the current times, and it’s good that we moved past that. However, you two are able to see the humor that the movie was striving for and appreciate it because you both have a great sense of humor and I love that about you. This was fun to watch with you!
Lol thanks as always! Yea this is a comedy classic !
ACE VENTURA!!!!!! NOTICE MEEEE!!!!! NEXT VID (ok I'm done yelling)
Boobs were not considered problematic back in the day. Loved your reaction.
I still don’t find them problematic 😁
I would recommend Airplane 2. Sure, it's nowhere near as good and a lot of the jokes are recycled (still good jokes though), but William Shatner's awesome performance really elevates the final act. If you enjoyed the 1st movie then you'll probably get some good laughs out of the sequel as well.
Anita Bryant was in the news about this time because of her
The beach scene is a shout out to From Here to Eternity.
Notre Dame theme
There are a few cultural references to the times, but there's enough general silliness to enjoy without getting them.
21:28 No, it's not down to editing, the 'eggs in the mouth' is a well known conjuring trick.
Mrs. Oveur was given the domesticated riding stallion in December of 1979 as a personal equine Christmas gift-toy from the West Coast Crime Family, then under the sunset leadership of Dominic Phillip "Jimmy" Brooklier [né Domenico Brucceleri], in order to express to her thanks for her ongoing moonlighting services to, as well as to secure her silence of any testimony on her part against, the Family; at the upcoming Federal trial thereof -- which would turn out to begin being held later on that same year; on October 14, 1980.
It's a long story, really,
And I don't mean to bore you;
But it's funny:
For some reason, whenever I get going on telling stories like this, I lose all track of time.
Check out The Forbidden Planet, SciFi made in the 1950s.
There are also references to commercials of the late 70s and a series of 4 (I think) airplane disaster movies which are mostly forgotten now, but went on to play on prime time tv a couple of times before this movie's release. Hence the sick girl and nun with guitar from one of them.
Aeroplane disaster movies were a big thing in the 70s. The 'Airport' series and the one this is most closely based on 'Zero Hour' but there were others.
so few react channels show the Air Israel joke. Come on guys. Thats one of the best jokes.
15:39 Try, 'From Here to Eternity'
Golden Era of comedy

I call bullshit on everybody who keeps saying these can't be made today, if you have the balls to make it people will watch & those who get triggered are a minority buzzkill who cares they won't go watch
28:35 I’m not a pilot, but I have watched Air Crash Investigation and know that the controls would feel very heavy especially if the autopilot is disengaged at high altitude. The balloon pilot is also showing what the g forces would look like.
you are correct about this movie causing a change in movie ratings. it was just a couple years later that pg 13 came into being.
check out nuns on the run and mousehunt a well
It's R rated.
No it's hear to eternity.
Mel Brooks movies have a similar style of comedy. The Producers (1967) was his first.
They don’t make them like this anymore, they can’t. This movie and everyone associated with it would be cancelled today.
Leslie Nielsen ..****
10:50 From Here to Eternity
5:48 "Is that sperm?" Really?
Scientology got started in 1952. So yeah, it was and remains a big part of the cult circuit.
You want a real classic comedy check out *(Blazing Saddles)* you guys don't seem to get "triggered" I think you can handle it
In the intro how did you know Leslie Nelson was in this film did you not go into it blind did you do research since you said you haven't seen it
This film has been rated to have the most laughs per minute.
It’s a comedic remake of an original movie from 1957 called ZERO HOUR - ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.html
BTW, the producers bought the rights to ZERO HOUR just to avoid being sued.

Keep in mind there was no PG13 in 1980. That rating hadn't been established yet. Ratings went from PG to R.
Just how blasted was the guy on the left?
Lmao yeah he didn’t sleep the night before finally someone noticed. 😂
BEACH SCENE FROM THE MOVIE FROM HERE TO ETERNITY BURT LANCASTER DEBORAH KERR
🔵=0 🔴=1
This was made in 1980 right at the end of the 70's, so the standard for nudity and such stuff was liberal because the Reagan era culture and standards hadn't taken effect on still existing hold over 70's era standards yet.
Karl Malone drove a truck in the off season. Why couldnt Kareem copilot a plane?
because that's not funny.
it's a parody of OJ Simpson being in The Towering Inferno.
why did y’all stop uploading Korra reactions ? it’s been forever lol
We’re bringing it back. Just for scheduling it’s been tough but when we do bring it back it will be multiple episodes not one every few weeks. lol
@@ReactionDragonz awesome 😁
1. I guess I picked the wrong week to stop watching "first time reaction" Airplane clips.
2. This movie requires more than one watch in order to catch as much as possible. Little things to look for:
Ted was in the Air Force but at the bar he's wearing a Navy Lt. Uniform.
Elaine's trombone sounds like a cornet.
One of the fish was a freshwater catfish.
Captain Kramer steps out of a mirror before leaving for the airport.
The woman with the horse in bed is the creepy Captain Oveur's wife. She is also hitting on to Captain Kramer.
It's a jet but the background noise is of a prop plane.
3. Otto/Auto pilot has his own webpage on IMDB
4. Elaine has permission to sit on MY face.😍😋
5. IMVHO Airplane II is better. Destination moon. I saw it first. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
6. Two other Funny Movies (that are connected somewhat) for you to share are: "Young Frankenstein" and "Blazing Saddles"🤣🤣
@geraldh3932 I have to leave stuff for others. Thanks
When Elaine throws Ted into the crowd in the dance flashback sequence you can see Robert Hays crouching next to the blue neon star light waiting to switch places with the stuntman.
