In Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker movies you have to watch them more than once. There's always something going on in the backgrounds. Even the end credits are goofy. You have to watch all the way through.
In the 1970s, it was common for religious groups, including some described as "zealots" or fringe movements, to solicit donations in airports. One of the most notable examples was the Hare Krishna movement, whose members often approached travelers in airports to hand out literature, offer flowers, and ask for donations. This practice became so widespread that it earned the nickname "airport proselytizing" or "airport evangelism." The activities of these groups were controversial. While some people supported their right to share their beliefs, others viewed their presence as intrusive or disruptive. This led to numerous complaints and eventually prompted changes in regulations. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, many airports began enacting stricter rules or outright banning solicitation in terminals, citing safety, security, and the comfort of travelers as primary concerns. Legal challenges often ensued, leading to court rulings that balanced First Amendment rights with the need for orderly public spaces.
In the 1990's, there was talk of building a new terminal for Los Angeles. Nothing came of it, but Jay Leno once said if you took the airlines out of LAX, it would become a Hare Krishna temple with escalators.
OMG! ... the radar operator towards the end was actor Jon Banks (most notably from 'Breaking bad' & 'better call saul') .... i never noticed it until you mentioned it! ...

Did anyone notice that whenever they showed the plane, or you heard in the engines of the plane, they were propellers instead of jets? The movie Airplane was a parody of the old movie Zero Hour with some Airport mixed in. Here's a side by side comparison: ua-cam.com/video/8-v2BHNBVCs/v-deo.html
Alex Here: I was wrong. I thought this movie was a parody of the airport movies, but it's actually a parody of the movie "Zero Hour". Some of the other commenters let me know.
This movie launched Leslie Nielsen's comedy career. For more, see the Naked Gun series. All the older guys were famous dramatic actors, their serious line deliveries contributed half the humor. Stack had been Elliot Ness in The Untouchables, Graves was Mr. Phelps in the original Mission: Impossible TV show, Bridges was in the Sea Hunt TV show. The Jive Talking Lady was the wife/mother from Leave It To Beaver, one of the most famous (and lily white) TV shows of the 50s. Two other films from these producers (ZAZ) are Top Secret and Kentucky Fried Movie (for which you have to be familiar with Enter the Dragon to get the long parody segment). Yes, the airports had lots of religious pushers, so we all cheered when Rex Cramer fought back. While not a parody of the 70s airport (and other) disaster movies, it did ride their coattails. There is a huge number of movie, TV, and actor references throughout this film that stretch back to the 40s. Most adults in the audience of 1980 would get them, while today's viewers tend to miss a lot.
Alex here: It's a little sad that I miss all those references, but I think it's also a testament to how good the movie is that I still find it hilarious without getting half the jokes.
@@CouchLore The "Jim never gets a second coffee at home" bit is from a well known coffee ad from the time, and the actress is the actress from the commercial.
L.N. was a well known actor long before this movie , this did introduce him to slapstick deadpan comedy that he would later do. ... he was one of the main characters in the classic movie 'forbidden planet' (1956)
Another movie the two of you might like in this style is "Transylvania Twist, 1989" which spoofs horror, sci-fi, and even TV shows, {may or may not be on youtube, which I cannot confirm or deny}. It's got a lot of these puns, and sight gags, literal representations of ideas, in it. It and the movie "Clue" where some of my favorites for their rapid fire comedy style. I love the soundtrack because I used to love the Castlevania video games, the songs are also pretty good.
@@CouchLore Yeah, the movie is from 1989,.But here is also the 1960's song, if you search just the title, you end up with hundreds of links to the song.
@@dupersuper1938 Interestingly an actor from "Transylvania 6-5000", Ed Begley Jr. also stared in a TV show pilot with Steve Altman from "Transylvania Twist" called "Chameleon", where Altman played a wacky genie type computer NPC game character that comes into the real world, and makes strange things happen. Ed played the game programmer that accidently brought his creation into the real world. It was cheesy fun, and I think, Altman even had the pilot/demo on his Vimeo for a while. Back then in the 1980's Altman had various comedy song released. His most famous was "Purple Reindeer" a parody of Prince's "Purple Rain", one of my favorites is a song called "No, no, no, no" a track with background music of "The Runaways" song "Scars". He even wrote his own musical based on H.G. Well's Time Machine, and released two albums. He still preforms music and even preformed the voice of the main dog character in the "Doggone" trilogy of movies also by Jim Wynorski.

Post Traumatic Ethel Merman Disorder is a terrible problem which affects one in every… well, just Lt. Hurwitz really. To be honest, it was kind of a boon, as he was able to move on to a great career in entertainment. Hmm, maybe it’s not such a terrible problem.
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 Army Air corps but at the bar he's wearing a Navy Lt. uniform. Elaine's trombone at the bar sounds like a trumpet. One of the fish was a freshwater catfish during the "From here to eternity" clip. A woman throws a baby into the air when the plane crashes through the window. Two Hari Krishnas actually fly out of the airport. There are raindrops gathered on a high-speed airplane. 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. I guess a horse wasn't enough. 😳 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.
Alex Here: Some of those jokes I've caught, but some I'm baffled I missed 😂 I've never seen the sequel, just a clip or two. I'd love to check it out sometime, we'll see though, I don't know if that one will draw a crowd or not.
@@CouchLore No, there were now green/blue screen, just back projection. I do understand that it's difficult for the younger generation to notice the difference. Gasp!
It is a parody, but not of "Airport". Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker were doing theater comedy in Wisconsin and would gather material by turning on the VCR to record overnight, then they'd review the stupid commercials and parody them. Then one night a really bad flick from 1958 (57?) came on, they watched the whole thing and parodied *that* . ua-cam.com/video/FasDZeNAmlk/v-deo.html
9:47 The weird thing is, the jokes weren't offensive back then. Exactly **because** they spoofed everything and everyone, people didn't take offense like they're more likely to today. Equal opportunity parody made things a lot more fun for everyone. Many, many commenters on other reactions, from all kinds of backgrounds, report people from their own ethnic group or background almost on the floor laughing in the theaters, along with everyone else laughing of course.
They WERE offensive back then! That was the point. It was cutting edge and what they said and did could NOT be said on television. You have an agenda with your comments. Take it elsewhere.
Alex Here: before I say anything. I need you to know, I'm arguing as a joke. You're right, it came out in 1980. HOWEVER! Principal photography began on June 20, 1979, and wrapped on August 31. THE 70'S!!! 😀
Why do you title this a first time reaction when one of you have seen this before? As soon as I heard that I'm typing this comment and leaving. Stop lying to people.
Perhaps, but just look up the plot of 'Zero Hour!'. War traumatised pilot who led 6 colleagues to their death. Issues with partner (in Zero Hour! Wife) who is leaving him. Follows partner onto plain. Issues with one of the meals provided, causing food poisoning. Pilot's hated commander called in to talk hin down. Bad weather, so pilot urged to keep flying but insists on landing to save the sick people. Lands destructively, but everyone survives. Relationship with wife is restored. You could hardly have two more matched plots.
@@toakreon you're boring, I already know all of that stop preaching. It also was a parody on those disaster airport movies. Two things can be true at the same time.
