That was about the lousiest review in the history of UA-cam. Both of you beautiful ladies are so fun to watch. And I love that you were both so dirty minded😉 Either of you could sit... well, you know😉😜😉 I love this movie so much that I own it on DVD and watch it once every other year. BTW, the vehicle that crashed was the ambulance with the girl. And in the end credits, you'd see the guy waiting for his cab ride and her mother inside. One joke that no reactor seems to catch is when the guy with the glasses goes to pick up Rex Kramer at his house. Except for his army is off screen and you see his wife hand him his jacket. Then you see him staring at what looks to be a mirror showing him putting his clothes on neatly. But instead of the screen turning the show Rex walking away, you see him walk through that door would you previously thought was a mirror. Dasha, I think you understand play the horse was in her bed. Go with your gut, girl. You know. Lastly,, if you had watched to the very end, you would have seen the guy in the cab still waiting, saying he will wait "twenty more minutes, but that's it!"
Congratulations Natasha, it's not easy to be relaxed and funny on camera, and you are already showing a lot of improvement. Your good relationship makes this rewatch very enjoyable - I've seen this movie literally fifty times and it's still funny. Dasha, well done for not traumatising your sister any further lol.
During the reception at my own wedding, when the DJ happened to play Stayin' Alive, I tossed my jacket from the dance floor over to my wife who was taking a breather on the sideline. Without any preplanning or coordination, and not missing a beat, she tossed it right back, reenacting the Airplane! scene.
"Airplane" is on AFI (The American Film Institute)'s top ten list of best comedies of all time! And deservedly so. It's always been one of my favorite film comedies as well. The lady trying to put on her makeup and failing was actually played by the director's mother. Robert Stack (Kramer), Peter Graves (Captain Oveur), Lloyd Bridges (Steve McCrosky) and Leslie Nielson (Doctor Rumack) were all serious dramatic leading actors up to this point, so this sudden jump into comedy was a surprise for viewers in the period and added to the laughs for the original audience in theaters. I remember this film being quoted constantly around the period, proving its popularity from the get go. Also the DVD commentary is one of the best I've heard. All the behind the scenes stories from the Director's are fun to hear.
Love how the Zucker's literal humor extends to setpiece humor too, when the captain walks through the mirror at his home. Leslie Nielsen does the same in Naked Gun, walking through the set wall of the police station.
Dasha, Don’t give it a second thought about seeing Airplane! twice. Who cares? The important thing is that you and your sister had a great time and we did too. Please invite her back for The Naked Gun movies and any other movies you think she’ll enjoy. Have a Merry Christmas and an even better 2025. -Thomas
This is one of THE funniest movies ever made. The key to what made Airplane! so funny is that everything was being played straight. It was a remake of a drama called Zero Hour! with humor derived from taking those dramatic lines and playing them for comedy without changing the delivery. Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen, and Peter Graves were all best known as dramatic actors, in fact this film is the BEGINNING of Bridges's and Nielsen's careers in comedy (and in fact would appear in future ZAZ productions Hot Shots! and The Naked Gun, respectively). The airport announcers were played by real-life LAX terminal announcers who happened to be married. I love how they're flying in a jet airplane, but the sound effect is for propellers. Roger Murdock actually IS played by basketball hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabar. The "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" running gag is a reference to a famous and campaign for Yuban Coffee in the 1970s. When they do the slow pan over the instrument cluster that's the ACTUAL instrument cluster of a 747. The "I speak jive" joke is even FUNNIER if you know the actress is Barbara Billingsly, AKA June Cleaver from Leave It To Beaver, probably the whitest white family ever to grace a television. Airplanes do actually have wheel brakes, operated by the rudder pedals. As much as you love this movie you NEED to see Top Secret! with Val Kilmer. It's another ZAZ production so has a very similar type of humor.
I think her smile is more a nervous response, and she is thinking "OMG, I am on camera...must..smile..." Either way, it's all good and it's nice to have a couple of people to bounce off, rather then on person forcing themselves to think of something to say. Sometimes I find single reactors talk too much because they think dead air is bad.
I had to go to the hospital once, and the nurse checking me in asked what was wrong, I said, "I have a problem with my bowels." She asked, "What is it?" Unable to resist I said, "It's a long tube inside you where your food goes. But that's not important right now." Sher had this look of shock on her face that slowly turned into delight, and she said, "I can't believe that just happened." and she started laughing. As it turned out, her boy friend had shown her Airplane! the night before. Imagine you watch some 40 year old movie you've never heard of, and really enjoyed, then less than 24 hours later some random person uses a joke from that movie. The rest of my time in the hospital after that, I heard the nurse telling this story to co-workers. Even several hours later, as I left I saw the nurse on her cell phone say, "..."then he said, "It's a long tube..." I said, "Hello boyfriend, good movie choice."
Microwaves were called radar ranges when they first came out (" the turkey needed 2 moreminutes "). You two were adorable together. Thanks and thumbs up.
The story I heard is that's how they were invented: some military installation was using radar to detect aircraft (or was testing experimental setups) and they discovered that all the rabbits in the field had died and been cooked! The story seems farfetched, but it would explain why an early name of the microwave oven was "radar range"!
24:40 "Why is there a horse in her bed?" It's a reference to the horse's head scene in one of _The Godfather_ movies. It's meant to symbolize impending doom.
Kind of like how “Popcorn in Bed” brings her sister on every now and again? This is also that kind of entertaining. Plus, obviously, she is very pleasant to look at, is not nervous, and has a sultry voice… All excellent Internet things!! Encourage her to get her own websites… Website… Whatever, and do reoccurring guest spots on yours 👍
People dressed a bit more in the 80s than they do now, but not as much as shown in this movie. The reason is that Airplane! is parodying the air disaster movie series “Airport” that came came out in 1970 (plus 3 sequels) and is imitating the 70s look. In the 1970s (and earlier) people certainly dressed up more -when traveling, and always. The Airport movies were considered part of the “disaster movie” trend that was popular in the 70s and included: Earthquake, Towering Inferno, and The Poseidon Adventure. Some consider Jaws also part of this group.
Also, this came out in 1980, so it was probably filmed in 1979. So, while this is technically an 80s movie, it isn't. I'd say that the 80s as we imagine it started around 1983 in terms of style. That might sound strange, me putting it that way.
The story about George Zip is an homage to George Gipp, a famous Notre Dame football player, whose story was featured prominently in the biopic “Knute Rockne All American”, the story of a legendary Notre Dame football coach. The role of George Gipp was played by a very young Ronald Reagan. Gipp died young of pneumonia. Legend says that at halftime of a certain difficult game coach Rockne told the team about the final words of Gipp, asking him to tell the team “to go out there with all they’ve got, and win one for the Gipper”. The team won the game. The speech is paraphrased by the doctor, and it inspires Srtiker to take control and successfully land the plane. The music that plays in the background is the “Notre Dame Fight Song”.
24:00 "Huh?" That bird is a vulture, a scavenger that's known to fly over and perch near dying creatures "waiting for their meal to be ready." It being here suggests that Ted's odds of surviving are bad, regardless of what reassuring things the man on the radio may be saying.
4:58 "Punch cards?" No, that's how they used to run your credit card back before electronic readers existed. The name and number on your credit card was embossed (i.e. raised), so they put pressure-activated carbon paper next to it and ran it through this device to press the two together, transferring the info from your card to the paper. Oh, and when you got gas at a gas station (like this is pretending to be), they'd do it through your driver's window.
His other son is Beau Bridges. I can’t think of anything that Dasha has probably seen that he was in, but he has won Golden Globes, Emmys, and even a Grammy.
For young people I wonder if some of the jokes hit home that much. Some of them are rather generational and depend on the viewer having seen other movies from previous decades. For instance: The "win one for the zipper" is a take-off on an old Ronald Reagan film where Reagan plays a dying football player nicknamed "the Gipper," and there is a long and, in those days, famous speech imploring his teammates to "win one for the Gipper." Also, the coffee joke where the woman muses about how her husband never asks for another cup of coffee is a take-off on a TV coffee commercial running in those days. Oh, and the Mayo clinic reference with the mayonnaise bottles on the shelf behind the doctor often escapes some viewers (The Mayo Clinic is one of the top-rated and most famous hospitals in the country). And, of course, the word "mayo" is also short for mayonnaise.
One of the movies references is "From Here To Eternity" which is both one of the most loved war movies and love movies ever made. It came out in 1953 and deals with the subject of a mix race romance during wartime, which was super controversial in the 1950s. It would be a great movie to react to.
@@AdrianColley yes that's why the changed it now everyone here in North America goes "It's not called Flying High! We've never heard that! You're lying!"
I just noticed something. Captain Kramer while driving the car to the Airport appeared to be talking on a car phone. I didn't know that was a thing in 1980. The earliest I seen it in a movie was in The Fugitive (1993) with Harrison Ford. And Michael Douglas (Gordon Gecko) talking on a mobile phone in Wall Street (1987) while walking on a beach.
The inspirational talk -Zipper is based on a true life story... At halftime🏈 of the contest between Notre Dame and Army at Yankee Stadium, Rockne told his players the story of the tragic death of George Gipp, the star halfback who passed away in 1920. As the legend goes, Gipp was in his hospital bed, when he asked Rockne to have the team “Win just one for the Gipper” ... Rockne used the story to rally the underdog Irish to a 12-6 victory against the Black Knights.🏈 The Irish’s game on Nov. 10, 1928, however, lives on in college football lore. Win just one for the Gipper" speech. In the 1940 film Knute Rockne, All American, he was portrayed by Ronald Reagan (an actor) who later became the USA president 1981-1989.
It is so awesome to see the sisters reacting together! Dasha and Natasha together again! I won't call either of you Shirley! Lol One of my favorite comedy movies. I hope you sisters will watch another comedy together. I recommend "Top Secret"! Thanks for sharing Dasha & Natasha ❤️💛
In the late 1970s, airports in the U.S. were filled with so many solicitors from cults and/or religious groups that it often felt like you were having to maneuver through an obstacle course to make it to your flight. That's why this film has that escalating series of jokes at the beginning, culminating with the veteran pilot just plowing through the religious solicitors.
Now you need to show your sister comedies like 'Clue', 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles' & 'Spaceballs'. You could also watch 'Jaws', 'The Day the Earth Stood Still [1951], and 'Casablanca'.
When the guy looks into the microwave oven and sees a turkey, that's kind of an inside joke. Radar which is used monitor airplanes and other things in flight, generate microwaves. Yes, a Klystron tube is used in the radar at the airport to spot planes and the one in your kitchen microwave is used to cook!! Your sister was fun to watch picking up on the jokes. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The cameos are great. The copilot is the real Abdul jabbar, legendary basketball player. And the natives playing basket are the Harlem Globetrotters. The madman who thinks he is Ethel Merman is played by, guess who.
If you like this, you need to show Natasha Airplane II, Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2 ½, Naked Gun 33⅓, all six episodes of the Police Squad! television show, Top Secret, Hot Shots!, and the Kentucky Fried Movie. That covers most of the Abrams and Zucker brothers' major works.
@@0okamino there was a guy who was stalking Johnny Carson, so Carson gave him a job on the Tonight Show answering mail, & the guy quickly got bored & quit but I heard he then started stalking Paul McCartney
Everyone seems to miss the joke that the ambulance which was taking the little girl to the hospital to get a heart transplant, the same girl who got "only one river song" sang to, crashed. Likely no survivors.
Enjoyed your reaction! ...As others have mentioned, a number of the jokes in the film have layers that are context-sensitive to the time and place. For example: the repeating joke about solicitors bothering the passengers and flight crews in the U.S. airports. In 1980, this was very familiar to Americans - I remember this! - and it was almost as annoying as the film depicts. In the early 1990s, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that airport soliciting is NOT a protected form of free speech, and that therefore, airport authorities were permitted to prohibit it. So this kind of ‘airport pest’ has been unknown in America for more than thirty years. (These days, it’s routine that all airports are ‘closed’ to the general public, except for passengers, flight crews, and people working at the airport, such as airport restaurant workers or security personnel.) Another facet of the joke that would be lost on newer generations: ALL of the solicitors bothering the people are from ‘fringe’ (that is: semi-respectable or non-respectable) religions or movements, rather than from “mainstream” religions like Methodist Christians or Presbyterian Christians (which would not bother people at airports.) The only solicitor-cause mentioned in the movie that was (at the time) fringe, but which has since become mainstream, is: “Nuclear Power.” (One of the reasons that the film works as well as it does, is because the writers were unafraid to cross supposedly 'politically correct' boundaries. If airport solicitation were still happening today, most contemporary joke writers would be hamstrung by the notion: who are YOU to say what is "weird" and what is not? ...what is "Mainstream" (and respectable), versus "Fringe" (and not respectable)? The writers-directors trusted themselves, and walked the line in this film with a unique talent.)
You should show your sister your favorite romantic comedy, "When Harry Met Sally." That way we can see which one of you is more emotional (you said it made you cry a lot). 😉
This was great. Probably the funniest movie ever so it's perfect for a rewatch with family. I think my favorite bit is the girl with the coffee. I've saw it dozens of times but that got me the hardest tonight.
little things, the PA airport announcers were real husband and wife announcers at LA airport, the Jim never has a another coffee were in fact the real people that did a Yuban coffee commercial ,most miss the pilot at home walks through the mirror frame and Howard Jarvis, an American businessman and politician who lowered California's property taxes and the women with the make up is .Charlotte Zucker mother of the producers of this movie which was a take off of the Zero Hour movie
As yet you missed out on Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase Starman (1984) with Karen Allen & Jeff Bridges Cannonball Run (1981) with Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds, Farah Fawcett etc. Love At First Bite (1979) with George Hamilton, Susan Saint James & Richard Benjamin Romancing The Stone (1984) with Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner Willow (1988) with Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley Ladyhawke (1985) with Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer Legend (1985) with Tom Cruise, David Bennent and Mia Sara & Tim Curry Highlander (1985) with Christopher Lambert & Sean Connery The Fog (1979) with John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis & Adrienne Barbeau The Swamp Thing (1982) with Adrienne Barbeau & Dick Durock The Walt Disney films The Black Cauldron (1985) The Aristocats (1970) The Rescuers (1970) The Sword In The Stone (1963)
Dasha, you and your sister would probably love other 80s classics like "Dangerous Liasons," (1988) "Flash Gordon," (1980) "The Name of the Rose," (1986) or "Victor/Victoria." (1982)
No, there are no breaks like on a car. When a jet lands there is a free runway. A plane requires heavy thrust to leave a runway to get airborne. An airplane can stop thrust and roll to a stop, and even reverse thrust to decelerate to a faster stop. When a plane is leaving to take off, it is typically moved by a vehicle on the ground to avoid using thrust anywhere close to a building where and engine might pick up debris. A tarmac is specifically designed avoid pulling debris into a jet engine. When the military needs to move supplies to places where there is no runway, the planes used only use propellers. In one more joke in the movie, the plane noise you hear isn't a jet engine - it's a propeller engine.
Actually, there ARE brakes on the main wheels. Reverse thrust is initially used during rollout because the brakes aren't enough, but it is not used thereafter. A long time ago an airline (I think it was Delta) tried to get cheap and use reverse thrust to back away from the terminals so that they could save the cost of the tugs. But after they broke a few windows, they changed their policy.
I just want to tell you both good luck we're all counting on you.
Just don't call either of them Shirley.
@@darthken815❤agreed

😂😂👍👍
About Ted from Elaine, "sit on your face and wiggle". Dasha, "Oh, he's a keeper". Haha laughed so hard!!!!
Wiggle* ...Wrinkle it
Every "good girl" has at least a little "naughty girl" inside her.
"Don't call me Shirley" was everyone's favorite joke when this came out
Closely followed by "it's ... but that's not important right now."
When it came out? It still is in this house. Even our kids say it.
It's part of the lexicon now, at least it is in the UK.
I love how excited Dasha is about her sister watching this movie.
Woohoo! Sisters react again. Nice reaction ladies!
"... its from 1980. your time."
i feel attacked
haha
😂😂😂😂
Attacked? I'm a lot older than that... Still loved this movie - and still do.
Never a bad time to watch or rewatch Airplane with two lovely ladies.
One thing lots of people miss is that the airplane is a jet, but the engines are making the sounds of a propeller-driven plane.
Congratulations Natasha, it's not easy to be relaxed and funny on camera, and you are already showing a lot of improvement. Your good relationship makes this rewatch very enjoyable - I've seen this movie literally fifty times and it's still funny. Dasha, well done for not traumatising your sister any further lol.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop watching Dasha.
❤😂
Sniffing glue may help.
WHY would you even consider such a thing?
32:45 Dasha's cute little face
During the reception at my own wedding, when the DJ happened to play Stayin' Alive, I tossed my jacket from the dance floor over to my wife who was taking a breather on the sideline. Without any preplanning or coordination, and not missing a beat, she tossed it right back, reenacting the Airplane! scene.
You two are adorable together. Dasha, why not do one of your sister's favourite movies together, that you've never seen before?
A suggestion for you two to watch soon: White Christmas (1954). I think you'll enjoy the film.
Has your sister seen "Violent Night"? It's pretty hilarious.
I'd like to see them react to The Death of Stalin and also maybe some Russian movies
@billthomas478 , the Death of Stalin is an excellent comedy. Mr. Jones would be a more serious film about the Soviet Union for them to watch.
@@billthomas478 Dr. Zhivago?
"Airplane" is on AFI (The American Film Institute)'s top ten list of best comedies of all time! And deservedly so. It's always been one of my favorite film comedies as well.

Or the Austin Powers movies.
I think it should be mandatory to watch _Airplane!_ more than once. There are just too many jokes for only one viewing.
I don't think anyone who likes Airplane! has ever only watched it once.
This is one of THE funniest movies ever made.

"Radar Range" was the BRAND NAME of a line of microwaves. Like Chevrolet and Ford are a brand of automobile.

It's a reference to the horse's head scene in one of _The Godfather_ movies. It's meant to symbolize impending doom.
Or it is a play on a story about Catherine the Great (Russian girls might have picked that up) and her husband (the pilot) having a thing for boys.

In the airport scene where the captain rolls over the back of one man, while kicking the other, the 61-year-old Robert Stack did his own stunt.
They thought he was touchable, but they were wrong.
People dressed a bit more in the 80s than they do now, but not as much as shown in this movie.

The music that plays in the background is the “Notre Dame Fight Song”.
And Reagan was knicknamed 'the Gipper' ever after.

Leslie Nielsen was born in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada. So hope you and Sis react with 1939 Good Bye Mr Chips. Such a warm emotion provoking film.
4:58 "Punch cards?" No, that's how they used to run your credit card back before electronic readers existed. The name and number on your credit card was embossed (i.e. raised), so they put pressure-activated carbon paper next to it and ran it through this device to press the two together, transferring the info from your card to the paper.

I love the duo reactions, and you're picking movies worth re-watching very well. Dasha, how about the Naked Gun movies with sis.?
😂this would be hilarious! Definitely 👍
Love you guys. Glad you and your sister decided to make more reactions together. I'm here for it.
In s fishless sea even a crab is a fish. I love russian sayings.
“And when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.”
Yes, but I'd rather have fish than crabs.
The actor that picked a bad week to give up drinking and sniffing glue is Lloyd Bridges, you probably seen his son "the Dude" from the Big Lebowski.
His other son is Beau Bridges. I can’t think of anything that Dasha has probably seen that he was in, but he has won Golden Globes, Emmys, and even a Grammy.
He never orders the 🐟 at home
There’s really no point in it, anyway. Fish don’t follow orders.
Another 80’s classic that I think might be up sister’s and your alley would be Overboard (1987)
Fun fact: Robert Hays, the guy who played Ted Striker, really was a licensed airplane pilot when he did this movie.
For young people I wonder if some of the jokes hit home that much. Some of them are rather generational and depend on the viewer having seen other movies from previous decades. For instance: The "win one for the zipper" is a take-off on an old Ronald Reagan film where Reagan plays a dying football player nicknamed "the Gipper," and there is a long and, in those days, famous speech imploring his teammates to "win one for the Gipper." Also, the coffee joke where the woman muses about how her husband never asks for another cup of coffee is a take-off on a TV coffee commercial running in those days. Oh, and the Mayo clinic reference with the mayonnaise bottles on the shelf behind the doctor often escapes some viewers (The Mayo Clinic is one of the top-rated and most famous hospitals in the country). And, of course, the word "mayo" is also short for mayonnaise.
The man in the taxi is Howard Jarvis. He was pushing for California tax reform regarding property taxes. He was very controversial at the time.
A lot of people for some reason don't seem to notice the humming of a prop plane when they're flying in a jet??
i had watched this like 20 times & never noticed until i read on it on youtube 😂
One of the movies references is "From Here To Eternity" which is both one of the most loved war movies and love movies ever made. It came out in 1953 and deals with the subject of a mix race romance during wartime, which was super controversial in the 1950s. It would be a great movie to react to.
Yes, that was fun, again! It's always nice to share, glad you both enjoyed it.
I live in Australia. When this movie was first released in my country it was called Flying High.
Greetings from Melbourne. I remember the VHS case of flying high
I can just imagine the focus group bursting out laughing at the first localisation attempt, "Aeroplane!".
@@AdrianColley yes that's why the changed it
now everyone here in North America goes "It's not called Flying High! We've never heard that! You're lying!"
Oh yea ladies the Co pilot is NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul Jabaar 🎉
back then there were always religious people in the airports like this. they were the "Hari Krishnas"
"TOP SECRET" is another movie with the same kind of humour... You'd love it. :)
I just noticed something. Captain Kramer while driving the car to the Airport appeared to be talking on a car phone. I didn't know that was a thing in 1980. The earliest I seen it in a movie was in The Fugitive (1993) with Harrison Ford. And Michael Douglas (Gordon Gecko) talking on a mobile phone in Wall Street (1987) while walking on a beach.
The inspirational talk -Zipper is based on a true life story...
At halftime🏈 of the contest between Notre Dame and Army at Yankee Stadium, Rockne told his players the story of the tragic death of George Gipp, the star halfback who passed away in 1920. As the legend goes, Gipp was in his hospital bed, when he asked Rockne to have the team “Win just one for the Gipper” ...
Rockne used the story to rally the underdog Irish to a 12-6 victory against the Black Knights.🏈 The Irish’s game on Nov. 10, 1928, however, lives on in college football lore.
Win just one for the Gipper" speech. In the 1940 film Knute Rockne, All American, he was portrayed by Ronald Reagan (an actor) who later became the USA president 1981-1989.
It is so awesome to see the sisters reacting together! Dasha and Natasha together again! I won't call either of you Shirley! Lol One of my favorite comedy movies. I hope you sisters will watch another comedy together. I recommend "Top Secret"! Thanks for sharing Dasha & Natasha ❤️💛
“Municipal bonds, Ted. I’m talking double A rating. The best investment in America.”
Im glad you added your sister to the channel. You both are great
I loved your sister's reaction.
You have to show your sis the Back To The Future Trilogy, if she hasn't seen it jet! 🤞🏻✌🏼
Dasha, Fun Fact: Steve, the guy that "picked the wrong week to quit drinking", is played by Lloyd Bridges, father to Jeff (The Dude) Bridges.
Very good picks for your sister!
Love the duo reactions
In the late 1970s, airports in the U.S. were filled with so many solicitors from cults and/or religious groups that it often felt like you were having to maneuver through an obstacle course to make it to your flight. That's why this film has that escalating series of jokes at the beginning, culminating with the veteran pilot just plowing through the religious solicitors.
Yes, there are brakes on a plane.
You two are adorable. Your laughter made this very enjoyable. It's quite impressive that you do this so well when English is your second language.
Now you need to show your sister comedies like 'Clue', 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Blazing Saddles' & 'Spaceballs'. You could also watch 'Jaws', 'The Day the Earth Stood Still [1951], and 'Casablanca'.
Enthusiastic YES for all of the above.
I love your commentaries and this film is my all time favourite. Absolutely over the moon to see you've introduced your sister to it too 😊 x
8:06 And of course, no scene set in the ‘70’s is complete without _The Hustle._ The spirit of the ‘70’s lives on in this song.
When the guy looks into the microwave oven and sees a turkey, that's kind of an inside joke.
Radar which is used monitor airplanes and other things in flight, generate microwaves. Yes, a Klystron tube is used in the radar at the airport to spot planes and the one in your kitchen microwave is used to cook!!
Your sister was fun to watch picking up on the jokes.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
31:38 Me in every flight simulator game I've ever played.
Funniest movie ever made 😂
So many beautiful smiles and cute laughs 🙏❤️🙏
Dasha and Natasha, these are a few of my favorite things
The cameos are great. The copilot is the real Abdul jabbar, legendary basketball player. And the natives playing basket are the Harlem Globetrotters. The madman who thinks he is Ethel Merman is played by, guess who.
If you like this, you need to show Natasha Airplane II, Naked Gun, Naked Gun 2 ½, Naked Gun 33⅓, all six episodes of the Police Squad! television show, Top Secret, Hot Shots!, and the Kentucky Fried Movie. That covers most of the Abrams and Zucker brothers' major works.
This was great! A big thumbs up for any future repeat viewings as a duo.👍
The old woman speaking Jive is June Clever from the 1950's Leave it to Beaver T.V. show were she portrayed the perfect 50's house wife.
Yes, your guess about the horse in the bed is correct.
That is certainly my opinion.
Dasha and Natasha. The Dynamic Duo.😇😇
because if you're too persistent you get called a stalker
And if you’re not persistent enough, you get called an incompetent stalker. Sometimes there’s just no winning.
@@0okamino there was a guy who was stalking Johnny Carson,
so Carson gave him a job on the Tonight Show answering mail,
& the guy quickly got bored & quit
but I heard he then started stalking Paul McCartney
Good reaction! Enjoy watching both of you. 👍👸👸❤
Everyone seems to miss the joke that the ambulance which was taking the little girl to the hospital to get a heart transplant, the same girl who got "only one river song" sang to, crashed.
Likely no survivors.
Microwave: In 1980 kitchen microwaves were fairly new. The most popular model was called the Radar Range.
Yes sister is back enjoy the both of yall enjoy
Daaaaamn….. Dasha’s sister is pretty 😍 I am serious and don’t call me Shirley 🎉
Ok, Surely!😅
Word play comedy is my favorite.
Enjoyed your reaction! ...As others have mentioned, a number of the jokes in the film have layers that are context-sensitive to the time and place.
For example: the repeating joke about solicitors bothering the passengers and flight crews in the U.S. airports.
In 1980, this was very familiar to Americans - I remember this! - and it was almost as annoying as the film depicts.
In the early 1990s, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that airport soliciting is NOT a protected form of free speech, and that therefore, airport authorities were permitted to prohibit it. So this kind of ‘airport pest’ has been unknown in America for more than thirty years. (These days, it’s routine that all airports are ‘closed’ to the general public, except for passengers, flight crews, and people working at the airport, such as airport restaurant workers or security personnel.)
Another facet of the joke that would be lost on newer generations: ALL of the solicitors bothering the people are from ‘fringe’ (that is: semi-respectable or non-respectable) religions or movements, rather than from “mainstream” religions like Methodist Christians or Presbyterian Christians (which would not bother people at airports.) The only solicitor-cause mentioned in the movie that was (at the time) fringe, but which has since become mainstream, is: “Nuclear Power.”
(One of the reasons that the film works as well as it does, is because the writers were unafraid to cross supposedly 'politically correct' boundaries. If airport solicitation were still happening today, most contemporary joke writers would be hamstrung by the notion: who are YOU to say what is "weird" and what is not? ...what is "Mainstream" (and respectable), versus "Fringe" (and not respectable)? The writers-directors trusted themselves, and walked the line in this film with a unique talent.)
Mrs, Over was doing a little horsing around
In retrospect, Jack was quite wise to turn down the Boeing job.
Welcome back Natasha!!😊
You should show your sister your favorite romantic comedy, "When Harry Met Sally." That way we can see which one of you is more emotional (you said it made you cry a lot). 😉
This was great. Probably the funniest movie ever so it's perfect for a rewatch with family.
I think my favorite bit is the girl with the coffee. I've saw it dozens of times but that got me the hardest tonight.
little things, the PA airport announcers were real husband and wife announcers at LA airport, the Jim never has a another coffee were in fact the real people that did a Yuban coffee commercial ,most miss the pilot at home walks through the mirror frame and Howard Jarvis, an American businessman and politician who lowered California's property taxes and the women with the make up is .Charlotte Zucker mother of the producers of this movie which was a take off of the Zero Hour movie
I hope you watch Its A Wonderful Life for Christmas. Also you should watch Top Secret from the same directors of this movie.
31:59 You know, that reminds me of a _rainstorm_ I was out in, once.

It's called slapstick humor. The British are really good at it ....
There’s something fun about watching reactors reacting to other people reacting to movies.
Love the two of you reacting together! Very cool!
Everyone should have a white Disco suit under your Naval uniform when you are in The Air Force....
Did you girls know there is also "Airplane II: The Sequel"? 😁
I didn't
Your sister? Surely you can't be serious?
Her sister's name is Shirley!
Of course she's serious, and don't call her Shirley 😆
18:04 That’s what she said! 😂❤😊
7:44 Most people didn't notice that they are two stunts men dressed as girl scouts 😂
Dasha, you and your sister would probably love other 80s classics like "Dangerous Liasons," (1988) "Flash Gordon," (1980) "The Name of the Rose," (1986) or "Victor/Victoria." (1982)
As a pilot trust me - this is still endlessly quoted at work.
Apparently people dressed up for airplanes, that was the scene....I died there lol.
This is a parody of the 1950s movie "Zero Hour" and reproduces it scene by scene but with a comedy spin.
No, there are no breaks like on a car. When a jet lands there is a free runway. A plane requires heavy thrust to leave a runway to get airborne. An airplane can stop thrust and roll to a stop, and even reverse thrust to decelerate to a faster stop. When a plane is leaving to take off, it is typically moved by a vehicle on the ground to avoid using thrust anywhere close to a building where and engine might pick up debris. A tarmac is specifically designed avoid pulling debris into a jet engine. When the military needs to move supplies to places where there is no runway, the planes used only use propellers. In one more joke in the movie, the plane noise you hear isn't a jet engine - it's a propeller engine.
Actually, there ARE brakes on the main wheels. Reverse thrust is initially used during rollout because the brakes aren't enough, but it is not used thereafter. A long time ago an airline (I think it was Delta) tried to get cheap and use reverse thrust to back away from the terminals so that they could save the cost of the tugs. But after they broke a few windows, they changed their policy.
