@@smittybenzo4693 Wow, smitty! I've been burning through reaction videos the last couple of years, you know, trying to relive old favorites through new eyes? I just came across this reaction to Airplane! today. Toni's reaction was astounding to me, as this is a favorite of mine, and I couldn't imagine anyone not getting more enjoyment out of it. But when I saw your comment, I looked up that video, as I had never come across PR reactions. You are right. The woman over at PR is a turd in a punchbowl. Geez.
In the script, the wife who gets slapped for being hysterical was only supposed to be slapped by one person. The actress herself came up with the idea of having a line of people waiting with increasingly more lethal weapons and brought it to the director, who loved the gag and filmed it instead.
The scene was spoofed from the same type of scene from "Airport" with Dean Martin and a star studded cast back in 1970. By the time this movie came out there were several disaster movies with the "Airport" title.......it kinda got old back then. But they did have a lot of big stars in them.
Let me just tell you that as an airline Captain who has been flying professionally for 20 years, this movie is quoted, ALL THE TIME, in the flight deck. I had a generational gap with a first officer recently, young guy, had never seen this movie….I assigned him homework to watch it.
The heart patient was Jill Whelan, who played Vicki Stubing, daughter of Captain Stubing (played by Gavin MacLeod) on The Love Boat. You likely remember her from that.
Interestingly enough, the actress playing Jill's mother here also played Gavin MacLeod's wife on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Gavin's TV wife and daughter as mother and daughter here.
I’m so happy to see that you picked up on the Yuban coffee commercial gag. What’s even funnier is that she was the same actress that was in the commercial.
The whole movie is an almost like for like remake of a supposedly serious movie - Zero Hour ! (hence the exclamation mark). In that the co-pilot is played by an ex-NFL football player who was trying to break into the movies. That's the reason the Zucker brothers approached NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to play the co-pilot Roger Murdock and why he's wearing his strip.
@@popculturallychallenged There is a video on youtube showing both movies side by side because Airplane was almost a shot to shot remake of Zero Hour (but was a drama). To protect them from a copyright lawsuit, the producers just bought the rights to Zero Hour. One thing I see people often miss is that in Airplane the engine sounds are of a piston engine propeller driven plane while they are actually in a jet plane.
@@Rifkinn It also sounds like a locomotive when the girlfriend is saying goodbye to her boyfriend. And, oddly enough, it sounds like a jet sometimes. Weird.

Johnny's antics are just some of the best parts of Airplane! for me.

Now everyone's familiar with these genre parody films, but back then, this was groundbreaking for it's originality. It was unlike anything anyone had seen. Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges (father of actors Jeff and Beau Bridges) were all accomplished dramatic actors at this point. Leslie Nielsen, too, had had a long successful career as a dramatic actor through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, before finding a second career for a younger audience as a comedic actor in the 80s and 90s. You can also see him in the Naked Gun movies, and the short-lived tv show they were based on, Police Squad. The old woman who spoke jive was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mother in the quintessential 50s-60s family sitcom Leave it to Beaver. That really was Ethel Merman in the hospital. This was her last movie role. She died a few years later. The two airport workers who sent the plane crashing into the airport were played by David and Larry Zucker, two of the writers and directors of the movie, and the makeup lady was played by their mom, Charlotte. I'm impressed- Not many reactors recognize Jimmie Walker as the airplane mechanic, and you're the first one I've seen who recognized David Leisure, who played Joe Isuzu in the commercials.

The questions the pilot is asking aren't random; he likes little boys and is trying to come onto Joey - hence why Elaine is nervous and tries to get Joey out of the cockpit.
@@popculturallychallenged Peter Graves almost refused the part because of those lines. It was actually his own family that convinced him to take the part when they realized the comedy gold it was after they got hold of the script and read it.
There’s a joke about every 10 seconds in this movie. If you talk, you will miss a joke. Prior to Airplane, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen were all dramatic actors. This was their first comedy. “Airplane! (alternatively titled Flying High!)[5] is a 1980 American parody film written and directed by the brothers David and Jerry Zucker, and Jim Abrahams in their directorial debuts,[6] and produced by Jon Davison. It stars Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty and features Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Lorna Patterson.[6] It is a parody of the disaster film genre, particularly the 1957 Paramount film Zero Hour!, from which it borrows its plot and central characters,[7] also drawing many elements from Airport 1975 and other films in the Airport series. It is known for its use of surreal humor and fast-paced slapstick comedy, including visual and verbal puns, gags, running jokes, and obscure humor.”
In the scene where the soldier stands in the open door of the airplane and yells goodbye to his girlfriend, who is running alongside and almost bumps into structures, is a spoof of the film Since You Went Away (1944), which is a really good film, but rather long. David Selznick was trying to re-create the success that he had with Gone With The Wind (1939).
The funny thing is that there is (was) a video on RUclips that compared scene for scene 'Airplane' with the actual movie it was inspired by and you'll see that not much was changed.
My mom wouldn't let me watch Jaws but my uncle let me watch this and it's the first movie that I was actually in stitches in.. it was before my mother taught me that silly wasn't funny. :) Never laughed so much.. it was the unplugging of the runway lights that absolutely killed me lolol back in the day we didn't have a sex offender registry, we knew who they were and were never allowed to be alone with certain people lol. children knew.
Yes, the neighbors knew and even made jokes about the one on our street. We'd just moved to the city. We didn't know. I recently decided to confront him about all those years in my teens, only to find that he'd died not long ago after retiring from a career. So obviously he was never punished, never saw the inside of a prison. I left the message I'd intended for him on his funeral home memorial page in hopes that his children and grandchildren see it and open up about whatever he may have done to them.
@keetahbrough, I don't think I knew about the sex offender registry until I had kids. Always trying to keep them from harms way. @shallowgal462, do you think his kids and grandchildren knew? - Toni
I have seen lots of reactions to Airplane! and no one has ever mentioned that it's a jet plane but you hear propeller engine noise! And you have to read the credits.
It does make sense in a riot looking for a place to break out kind of way. In conedy, Toni makes a good "straight person" to your more comedic reactions. There was no PG13 rating back then.
5:10 “They don’t really do that, right?” Correct! Jet aircraft don’t have engines like cars. They have jet. Famously, on the wings. There’s no engine under the hood for checking the oil. :-) Also, an often missed joke is that the engines are jets, but exterior shots of the plane flying uses sounds from a propeller. :-)
People now don't get the joke of the many annoying zealots in the airport -- they were like mosquitos, everyone hated them. Also, a joke that I got the first time, but missed for about the next 40 years -- the nun tells the doctor, "you're wanted on the phone." In 1980, this would have been as likely as telling someone on a plane, "they need you in surgery." There were very much no phones on planes, so this diversion was a very minor joke that I just rediscovered.
The aiplane window cleaner is JIMMY WALKER; J.J FROM `GOOD TIMES". The captain is PETER GRAVES. From the original MISSION IMPOSSIBLE TV SERIES. CO PILOT IS NBA HALL OF FAMER, LAKERS, KAREEM ABDUL JABAAR.
If you can find it, there's a classic movie starring Jimmy Stewart called Harvey. It's a comedic drama following a guy who insists he's friends with a giant, invisible rabbit called Harvey. I won't spoil the ending for you; but I'm wondering if the humor might be more up the Mrs's alley. Movie release in 1950.
Peter Graves, and, Leslie Nielsen made this movie as great as it was. Their ability to deliver completely RIDICULOUS lines of dialogue with total earnestness, and, sincerity was AMAZING.
The beach scene is a parody of From Here to Eternity. "Lisa" is played by the same actress as Captain Stubing's daughter on The Love Boat, a TV sitcom set on a cruise liner.
This movie is always fun for me to watch to see how many of the jokes and more importantly, how many of the former stars they recognize in this movie. Basically, every male with gray hair was a former big time star parodying his roles that made him famous. The two exceptions being Jimmy J.J. Walker from Good Times who was the airplane mechanic checking the oil. And Kareem Abdul Jabber the really tall black pilot. If Toney cries during this one, I just don't know what to say. LOL. The little girl with the IV was on a ton of Love Boat episodes. Leslie Neilson was the Doctor and he always played serious detective type roles and was most famously the main character in the old sci fi classic movie "Forbidden Planet." Then later in the Naked Gun movies were he basically plays an expanded version of this character. The old guy that was always picking a bad week to quit something is Lloyd Bridges. Maybe the biggest star in the movie. He is Jeff and Beaux Bridges' dad and a big star from the 50-s60's.. Kramer is Robert Stack. Most famously from the "Untouchables" tv series from the 60's. He played Elliot Ness. And The Pilot is Peter Graves. He was the main dude on the original "Mission Impossible" tv show from the 60's. Oh, the old woman that speaks Jive played June Cleaver, Beavers mom on the Leave it to Beaver tv show.
Speaking of the young girl/heart recipient. "She looks familiar. Yeah, but I don`t know who she is though". Could it be she was the daughter of the captain on the "Love Boat". Unless I`m mistaken I think that`s her.
The ratings... It was generally left to the parents to decide what was acceptable for their kids to watch. It was more of a suggestion. This was before everyone got offended by everything.
Did you know this was an almost word-for-word remake of the 1957 film Zero Hour! from Paramount? And did you recognize the mom from Leave It to Beaver?
Another reference most don't know because the movie is so old (1940) is the story at 20:00 about George Zipp and win one, etc. That's a takeoff on the story about Notre Dame football in "Knute Rockne, All-American" and a dying player named George Gipp used as a motivational speech by famed legendary coach Rockne. The part of Gipp was played by Ronald Reagan.
Most people don't recognize that Howard Jarvis is the guy in the cab either. Or that a woman throws her baby in the air and runs away when the plane comes through the airport window (3:26).
@@popculturallychallenged The comedy she liked the most this year (we spend 1 week a year on vacation just watching movies in a hotel somewhere) was My Cousin Vinny, which was a surprise
This movie is classic slapstick. Cast of major stars doing silly things makes it even better. btw, there are catfish in the ocean. The sick girl was on The Love Boat series.
Great movie. Fyi the actress who plays the sick girl was on the tv series Love Boat. This is not just a comedy it is a spoof movie extreme comedy. You should also see Top Secret 1984 from the same directors. A underrated movie but no less as funny and in my opinion is more funny.
This might interest you about this movie: ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.html. The kissing on the beach scene was a parody of the movie From Here to Eternity. The little sick girl was on The Love Boat. One of the Monks was Joe Izuzu. The scene where the Capt is beating up all the people in the Airport, that's the way it used to be. You would be bum-rushed by all these knuckleheads with pamphlets, flyers, etc when you entered the terminal. Those days are long gone. Unfortunately, the "Johnny" character (Stpehen Stucker) died of Aids in 1986. He disclosed his illness to the media in 1984 becoming one of the first recognizable entertainers to do so. If you didn't grow up in the 70's you'll miss most of the jokes.
Also the horse lover, and "I like my coffee black...", and the whole totally inappropriate line of questioning about naked men in the cockpit. Funniest thing about it, is that is is a scene for scene remake of a totally serious drama with the same plot, on top of which were just a 'stream of conciousness' of silly jokes and visual gaga.
Thumbs down on this one guys. I dont get ppl who cant get the genius of slapstick comedy. Its meant to be ridiculous. I dont understand why comedy has gotten so boring. You cant take everything so seriously or youll have a heart attack before 50. Be ridiculous, have fun with nonsense. I hate to break it to toni, but LIFE doesn't make sense. If you only want to see things that make sense, dont watch the news. Dont listen to ANY politician. Dont watch kids or animals. Dont get out of bed bc everything is less sense as the day progresses and you interact with ppl because people dont make sense!! Once upon a time the fact the earth wasnt the center of the solar system didnt make sense. Or that there are bacteria in our bodies that we would die without, or which came first? The chicken or the egg? Very few things actually make sense. Welcome to life.
"I didn't see this as a PG-rated movie you take kids to see" ... because back then, PG did not mean "kids movie". Hell, even G-rating didn't even mean "kids movie", it just meant it had nothing parents would find objectionable. PG stood for Parental Guidance specifically because parents needed to be cautioned that there could be stuff they didn't like. ... today, people think of PG-13 as "kids movie",.... my oh my how things have changed
@@popculturallychallenged Since i was corrected yeah she was the captains daughter i believe....prolly wrong again but hey loveboat was on when iwas like 10....not like i was a big fan lol
A lil more pop culture...the great Sigourney Weaver auditioned for the part of Elaine but they didn't like the way she delivered the set on your face and riggle line 😂😂😂
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. A woman throws a baby into the air when the plane crashes through the window. 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. The ambulance crashes after the plane lands. 3. Otto/Auto pilot has his own webpage on IMDB 4. Elaine has permission to sit on MY face.😍😋 5. IMVHO Airplane II is good too, destination moon.
This movie is a joke that manages to have a plot...borrowed from another movie. It is wall-to-wall visual jokes, situational jokes, wordplay & subverting expectations, so it requires several viewings to catch them all. There are jokes for everyone; so even if 3/4 of the jokes go over a viewer's head, there are still giggles.
Half way in ... Not sure what I am enjoying more ... Her total look of confusion, or his anticipation for the punch line ... LOL enjoying it tho .. :-D Oh and the sick girl was from the LOve boat ..
The dance scene in the bar where they met with the disco music playing and he pulls off his uniform and all of a sudden he’s got the white outfit on that’s a spoof of the movie “Saturday Night Fever “ that was popular at the time.
Just out of curiosity, is there any chance that you will introduce a higher level on your Patreon in the future for people who are willing to pay more if they can make a Movie Request a month for it, or will there probably not be such a level?
When I showed my teens this movie they did not find it that funny because many of their generation do not like Dad jokes lol. I will have to play it for them again now that they are in their 20s to see if it is different now lol
I remember when Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom came out and changed the rating system. Still remember the first PG-13 movie I saw in theaters after that - "Red Dawn" 😃
You two are like me and the lady I am with. I have an "open, laugh at anything, finds humor is the goofiest things" sense of humor while she has a cold "this had better be funny and have a reason behind it" sense of humor.

This is my FAVORITE comedy! I loved David's reaction to this. I always laugh just as much now as I did back then. David's reaction got me laughing so much my hubby had to come in the room to see what was so funny. When he saw what I was watching, he sat down & watched with me. We quote this movie often. Thanks for reacting to this!! BTW - I have the perfect love story for Toni. It's light, funny & a real love story....50 First Dates. She'll love it! It's got Drew Barrymore & Adam Sandler in it.

We may have to check out Zero Hour and Airport! Thanks!
Microwave is the generic term. It was originally called an Amana (brand-name) Radar Range.
I just noticed when the plane crashes through the window in the beginning, the woman holding the baby yeets it into the air.
I noticed that when I was doing the edit! 😂
Took me years as well to notice. Watched it over 100x and probably the last gag that I missed.
"We need to get this woman to a hospital"
"A hospital? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients....but that's not important right now"
LOL
Awesome! 😂
In the scene where the soldier stands in the open door of the airplane and yells goodbye to his girlfriend, who is running alongside and almost bumps into structures, is a spoof of the film Since You Went Away (1944), which is a really good film, but rather long. David Selznick was trying to re-create the success that he had with Gone With The Wind (1939).
Cool! Thanks for the info!
The funny thing is that there is (was) a video on RUclips that compared scene for scene 'Airplane' with the actual movie it was inspired by and you'll see that not much was changed.
I might have to go look for that video just for fun.... - Toni 🤓
Fun fact: The scene where Ted first catches up with Elaine was shot at LAX. That funky, 70s multi colored wall is still there today.
That's cool! 😃
No one ever reviewing this notices that when they are on the ground, the pilot shifts through the gears while they are moving.
I didn't notice that! I'll have to go back and check it out! 😂
I think that the nurse is Sandy Duncan. She played PETER PAN ON BROADWAY.
Oh cool! 😀 Thanks!
My mom wouldn't let me watch Jaws but my uncle let me watch this and it's the first movie that I was actually in stitches in.. it was before my mother taught me that silly wasn't funny. :) Never laughed so much.. it was the unplugging of the runway lights that absolutely killed me lolol back in the day we didn't have a sex offender registry, we knew who they were and were never allowed to be alone with certain people lol. children knew.
Yes, the neighbors knew and even made jokes about the one on our street. We'd just moved to the city. We didn't know. I recently decided to confront him about all those years in my teens, only to find that he'd died not long ago after retiring from a career. So obviously he was never punished, never saw the inside of a prison. I left the message I'd intended for him on his funeral home memorial page in hopes that his children and grandchildren see it and open up about whatever he may have done to them.
@keetahbrough, I don't think I knew about the sex offender registry until I had kids. Always trying to keep them from harms way. @shallowgal462, do you think his kids and grandchildren knew? - Toni
@@popculturallychallenged I hope they didn't know firsthand.
I have seen lots of reactions to Airplane! and no one has ever mentioned that it's a jet plane but you hear propeller engine noise!
And you have to read the credits.
It does make sense in a riot looking for a place to break out kind of way. In conedy, Toni makes a good "straight person" to your more comedic reactions. There was no PG13 rating back then.
Thank you!
The little girl heart patient later played Captain Stubing's daughter on the Love Boat.
Thanks! I knew she looked familiar!
Kareem was referring to Mr Bill Walton. One of the greats, as well!!!
Thanks!

“They don’t really do that, right?”
Correct!
Jet aircraft don’t have engines like cars. They have jet. Famously, on the wings. There’s no engine under the hood for checking the oil.
:-)
Also, an often missed joke is that the engines are jets, but exterior shots of the plane flying uses sounds from a propeller. :-)
I didn't even notice the propeller sound! 😂
People now don't get the joke of the many annoying zealots in the airport -- they were like mosquitos, everyone hated them.
Also, a joke that I got the first time, but missed for about the next 40 years -- the nun tells the doctor, "you're wanted on the phone." In 1980, this would have been as likely as telling someone on a plane, "they need you in surgery." There were very much no phones on planes, so this diversion was a very minor joke that I just rediscovered.
I didn't realize how bad the airports were! 😂
Leslie Nielsen second slap on that woman hahaha
😂
The aiplane window cleaner is JIMMY WALKER; J.J FROM `GOOD TIMES". The captain is PETER GRAVES. From the original MISSION IMPOSSIBLE TV SERIES. CO PILOT IS NBA HALL OF FAMER, LAKERS, KAREEM ABDUL JABAAR.
Thanks! 😀
The beach scene is from the movie, “From Here to Eternity.”
Almost nobody gets that one.
Thanks! Might have to check that out someday!
‘That’s silly’ truer words were never spoken!
Very true! 😂
If you can find it, there's a classic movie starring Jimmy Stewart called Harvey. It's a comedic drama following a guy who insists he's friends with a giant, invisible rabbit called Harvey. I won't spoil the ending for you; but I'm wondering if the humor might be more up the Mrs's alley. Movie release in 1950.
Thanks for the suggestion!
10:21 It's actually a spoof of 'From here to eternity' with Burt Lancaster.
Thanks!
One of the FUNNIEST movies ever made!
Peter Graves, and, Leslie Nielsen made this movie as great as it was. Their ability to deliver completely RIDICULOUS lines of dialogue with total earnestness, and, sincerity was AMAZING.
Robert Stack, too.
Agreed! 😃
@@ExUSSailoras well as Lloyd Bridges father of Jeff and Beau... Sea Hunt!!!
The beach scene is a parody of From Here to Eternity.
"Lisa" is played by the same actress as Captain Stubing's daughter on The Love Boat, a TV sitcom set on a cruise liner.
Thanks for the info!
This movie is always fun for me to watch to see how many of the jokes and more importantly, how many of the former stars they recognize in this movie. Basically, every male with gray hair was a former big time star parodying his roles that made him famous. The two exceptions being Jimmy J.J. Walker from Good Times who was the airplane mechanic checking the oil. And Kareem Abdul Jabber the really tall black pilot.
If Toney cries during this one, I just don't know what to say. LOL.
The little girl with the IV was on a ton of Love Boat episodes. Leslie Neilson was the Doctor and he always played serious detective type roles and was most famously the main character in the old sci fi classic movie "Forbidden Planet." Then later in the Naked Gun movies were he basically plays an expanded version of this character. The old guy that was always picking a bad week to quit something is Lloyd Bridges. Maybe the biggest star in the movie. He is Jeff and Beaux Bridges' dad and a big star from the 50-s60's.. Kramer is Robert Stack. Most famously from the "Untouchables" tv series from the 60's. He played Elliot Ness. And The Pilot is Peter Graves. He was the main dude on the original "Mission Impossible" tv show from the 60's. Oh, the old woman that speaks Jive played June Cleaver, Beavers mom on the Leave it to Beaver tv show.
Thanks for the info! They had a lot of big names in this!
The end credit scene.... the guy is still in the cab and gives Striker 20 more minutes!!!!
That guy is Howard Jarvis, the last person who would ever just sit in a cab with the charges racking up.
@cleonmagabeefy8500, I thought that was crazy. @ClayLoomis1958, I don't think anyone would have that kind of patience.... - Toni 🙃
13:17 - I think that patient became a regular on the Love Boat.
Thanks! I knew she looked familiar!
Speaking of the young girl/heart recipient. "She looks familiar. Yeah, but I don`t know who she is though".
Could it be she was the daughter of the captain on the "Love Boat". Unless I`m mistaken I think that`s her.
That’s where I remember her from! Thanks!
The ratings... It was generally left to the parents to decide what was acceptable for their kids to watch. It was more of a suggestion. This was before everyone got offended by everything.
I remember my parents watching the PG rated movies before they'd let me watch them when I was a young kid in the early 80's. Now I see why. 😂
The Guy washing the Windows was Jimmy Walker… Dynomite
the beach love scene was from “from here to eternity”
Thanks!
Besides the horse being a reference to The Godfather it is also alluding to the joke "hung like a horse"
😉
😂
If Toni wants some good movies with romance I recommend "True Romance", "Romancing the Stone", "Last of the Mohicans" & "Legends of the Fall".
Thanks for the suggestions!
You guys should watch hot shots part 1 & 2, the the naked gun parts 1-3 if you haven’t seen them already
Hoping to at some point. 😃
The heart recipient was from love boat
Thanks!
Another good reaction. :) The girl Lisa (Julie Whelan) is Vicki Stubing from The Love Boat.
Johnny for president
Thanks!
Did you know this was an almost word-for-word remake of the 1957 film Zero Hour! from Paramount?
And did you recognize the mom from Leave It to Beaver?
I didn't know about Zero Hour but I did recognize the mom from Leave it to Beaver! 😂
(3:33) I was 10 when I saw this at the theatres. When I saw the walls, I said to my Dad, Dad, they're at Chicago, O'Hare. Felt so smart.
Cool! 😃
Another reference most don't know because the movie is so old (1940) is the story at 20:00 about George Zipp and win one, etc. That's a takeoff on the story about Notre Dame football in "Knute Rockne, All-American" and a dying player named George Gipp used as a motivational speech by famed legendary coach Rockne. The part of Gipp was played by Ronald Reagan.
Most people don't recognize that Howard Jarvis is the guy in the cab either. Or that a woman throws her baby in the air and runs away when the plane comes through the airport window (3:26).
Thanks! I couldn't remember what movie it was from! I remember it was Ronald Reagan but I couldn't remember which movie! 😃
@@popculturallychallenged Bonzo for the win! lol
Next time somebody says men and women are exactly the same, watch a man and a woman watching airplane there is a big difference
For sure!! - Toni 😜
The actor playing the part of the pilot was Peter Graves he starred in the tv series “Mission Impossible “
Cool! I don't think I've ever seen the TV series. Might have to check it out!
The little girl heart transplant recipient was on the tv show love boat
Thanks!
Your wife is a literalist in the truest scense of the word. I had a feeling this would not be her cup of tea, which made it even funnier.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I give her credit for stepping out of her comfort zone and trying something new. 🙂
2:49 & on ... the difference in your expressions! 😹
😂
Watched this with my 15 year old daughter, and the one part that broke her was the pilot creeping on the boy
My daughter just turned 15 and I'm debating watching this with her. I think she would get the humor.
@@popculturallychallenged The comedy she liked the most this year (we spend 1 week a year on vacation just watching movies in a hotel somewhere) was My Cousin Vinny, which was a surprise
The girl with the I.V. played Vicki Stubbings, the Captains daughter on Love Boat.
Thanks!
This movie is classic slapstick. Cast of major stars doing silly things makes it even better. btw, there are catfish in the ocean. The sick girl was on The Love Boat series.
Thanks!
Heart Girl was on THE LOVE BOAT. Jill Whelan
Yep!!! That’s right!! I couldn’t place her before. - Toni ☺️
Great movie. Fyi the actress who plays the sick girl was on the tv series Love Boat. This is not just a comedy it is a spoof movie extreme comedy. You should also see Top Secret 1984 from the same directors. A underrated movie but no less as funny and in my opinion is more funny.
Thanks!
Good lord, This jovial fun guy and this frigid, humorless woman.... I will never understand attraction.
This just isn't her kind of movie. I give her a lot of credit for giving it a try. 🙂
This might interest you about this movie: ruclips.net/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/видео.html. The kissing on the beach scene was a parody of the movie From Here to Eternity. The little sick girl was on The Love Boat. One of the Monks was Joe Izuzu. The scene where the Capt is beating up all the people in the Airport, that's the way it used to be. You would be bum-rushed by all these knuckleheads with pamphlets, flyers, etc when you entered the terminal. Those days are long gone. Unfortunately, the "Johnny" character (Stpehen Stucker) died of Aids in 1986. He disclosed his illness to the media in 1984 becoming one of the first recognizable entertainers to do so. If you didn't grow up in the 70's you'll miss most of the jokes.
Thanks for the info! We both were kids in the 70's so I got some of the references but at this point I don't remember a lot of the 70's. 😂
A lot of people just arent wired for Airplane! I think you need a few shorts to love it.
True!
Did you notice the propeller sounds throughout the flight, on a jet plane?
Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t notice so will need to go back. Thank you!! - Toni 😊
Also the horse lover, and "I like my coffee black...", and the whole totally inappropriate line of questioning about naked men in the cockpit.
Funniest thing about it, is that is is a scene for scene remake of a totally serious drama with the same plot, on top of which were just a 'stream of conciousness' of silly jokes and visual gaga.
@@BLAlley Ta! I knew that but couldn't recall it.
Might have to check Zero Hour out. 😂 -David
The girl awaiting the heart transplant was on the series Love Boat.
Thanks!
BTW, they still serve Dinner on planes... when was the last time y'all were on an Airplane? 😄 LOL
Southwest for us! 😂
I bet she would enjoy reacting to The Princess Bride. 😊
We did that one a couple of weeks ago! 😃
the heart patient was the daughter of captain Stubing on the love boat that's why she looks familiar.
Thanks!
Thumbs down on this one guys. I dont get ppl who cant get the genius of slapstick comedy. Its meant to be ridiculous. I dont understand why comedy has gotten so boring. You cant take everything so seriously or youll have a heart attack before 50. Be ridiculous, have fun with nonsense. I hate to break it to toni, but LIFE doesn't make sense. If you only want to see things that make sense, dont watch the news. Dont listen to ANY politician. Dont watch kids or animals. Dont get out of bed bc everything is less sense as the day progresses and you interact with ppl because people dont make sense!! Once upon a time the fact the earth wasnt the center of the solar system didnt make sense. Or that there are bacteria in our bodies that we would die without, or which came first? The chicken or the egg? Very few things actually make sense. Welcome to life.
You are right, Life doesn't make sense.... I need to remember that! - Toni 🥰
"I didn't see this as a PG-rated movie you take kids to see"
... because back then, PG did not mean "kids movie". Hell, even G-rating didn't even mean "kids movie", it just meant it had nothing parents would find objectionable. PG stood for Parental Guidance specifically because parents needed to be cautioned that there could be stuff they didn't like.
... today, people think of PG-13 as "kids movie",.... my oh my how things have changed
Things have changed. I watch some of these movies and wonder how in the world parents allowed kids to watch this. - Toni 🤓
4:06 the original cool menacing voice of boba FETT
That's so cool! Thanks!
You and Toni have to see Bachelor Party next please! 😊
I'm not sure if David has seen Bachelor Party but I would think he has but I haven't seen it so onto the list it goes. - Toni 😁
I may be wrong but I believe the heart patient girl is Linda Blair from the exorcist
No, this girl was on Love Boat
@@kpmac1 Oh ok thanks for correcting me
Thanks! I thought she looked familiar. I vaguely remember watching The Love Boat. 🙂
@@popculturallychallenged Since i was corrected yeah she was the captains daughter i believe....prolly wrong again but hey loveboat was on when iwas like 10....not like i was a big fan lol
A lil more pop culture...the great Sigourney Weaver auditioned for the part of Elaine but they didn't like the way she delivered the set on your face and riggle line 😂😂😂
That's funny! I like Sigourney Weaver but I think they made the right choice for Elaine. 😃
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.
A woman throws a baby into the air when the plane crashes through the window.
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.
The ambulance crashes after the plane lands.
3. Otto/Auto pilot has his own webpage on IMDB
4. Elaine has permission to sit on MY face.😍😋
5. IMVHO Airplane II is good too, destination moon.
It is an Asian elephant in Africa.
Thanks for the info!
This movie is a joke that manages to have a plot...borrowed from another movie. It is wall-to-wall visual jokes, situational jokes, wordplay & subverting expectations, so it requires several viewings to catch them all. There are jokes for everyone; so even if 3/4 of the jokes go over a viewer's head, there are still giggles.
I'm still noticing things I never noticed before after multiple viewings! 😂
You might like Airplane 2, the sequal.
I might have to check that one out on my own. 🙂 -David
Half way in ... Not sure what I am enjoying more ... Her total look of confusion, or his anticipation for the punch line ... LOL enjoying it tho .. :-D Oh and the sick girl was from the LOve boat ..
Glad you enjoyed it! 😃 Thanks for the info! I knew she looked familiar!
The dance scene in the bar where they met with the disco music playing and he pulls off his uniform and all of a sudden he’s got the white outfit on that’s a spoof of the movie “Saturday Night Fever “ that was popular at the time.
I haven't seen that movie in years! 😃
Well, if you're heading down this road, surely you have to see Robin Hood: Men in Tights...and don't call me Shirley.
We'll see. This kind of comedy isn't really her thing.
@@popculturallychallenged She made it through Band of Brothers! Yeah just saying.
Just out of curiosity, is there any chance that you will introduce a higher level on your Patreon in the future for people who are willing to pay more if they can make a Movie Request a month for it, or will there probably not be such a level?
Hi! We don't have anything like that planned right now but it might be something we look into at some point.
The sick girl was on the Love boat
Thanks!
When I showed my teens this movie they did not find it that funny because many of their generation do not like Dad jokes lol. I will have to play it for them again now that they are in their 20s to see if it is different now lol
Oh, that's a good idea. Please let me know how it goes, Would love to know if age makes a difference... - Toni 😊
PG-13 didn't exist in 1980. Viewer guidelines changed substantially in 1984. PG-13 was added at that time (among others).
I remember when Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom came out and changed the rating system. Still remember the first PG-13 movie I saw in theaters after that - "Red Dawn" 😃
You two are like me and the lady I am with. I have an "open, laugh at anything, finds humor is the goofiest things" sense of humor while she has a cold "this had better be funny and have a reason behind it" sense of humor. It is very hard to get along with those types of people that have to analyze and pick things apart.
I know right?? 😂😂
Because of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, this film would be difficult to make!!!
Agreed. I don’t think this could be made today.
This is my FAVORITE comedy! I loved David's reaction to this. I always laugh just as much now as I did back then. David's reaction got me laughing so much my hubby had to come in the room to see what was so funny. When he saw what I was watching, he sat down & watched with me. We quote this movie often. Thanks for reacting to this!! BTW - I have the perfect love story for Toni. It's light, funny & a real love story....50 First Dates. She'll love it! It's got Drew Barrymore & Adam Sandler in it. Comedy for you too, David.
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion!
