Airplane II The Sequel - The TV Version Comparison

This video shows off the differences between the regular cut and the TV version of 1982's AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL. This TV version aired on the USA Network on Thanksgiving sometime in the early to mid-90s.
I didn't include every bit of censorship from the TV edit because some are rather routine (muting a profane word, etc.), so instead I chose to focus on some of the stranger omissions. For example, any mention of Sonny Bono's character being impotent is edited out, which makes his motivations really confusing.
The TV version includes a number of deleted scenes re-edited back into the film so it could run in a two hour timeslot. All the new scenes that were a part of this airing are in this video.

First saw a good most of the TV version on Comedy Central back in 2002.

One of the deleted cast was Earl Boen as that doctor. Not listed.

The inappropriate, irreverent humor with lots of puns that are both simple and intelligent!

Have a slightly different version on VHS, recorded in early 1989, late night on WXIX 19, Cincinnati - probably 2AM; clearly remember trying to figure out how to "program" the VCR to record it. It contains a mixture of the two - doesn't contain the people on the belt, but does contain "Senile", "Premature Ejection" and a few others. I'm guessing movies when they were licensed for independent channel showings, the tapes sent out were like albums - every now and then, there'd be particular pressings containing one or two songs in different mixes than all the others. Workplace f-ups; happens at every job.

Always love these kind of videos. Great stuff Chuck

I just watched this on Pluto tv the other day, and I was wondering what they did with that nudity in the edited for tv version. I believe the only other time I'd seen AIRPLANE II was years ago on CBS.

I wonder how many too naughty for TV moments remain deleted.

Looks like Airplane 2 must comeback in the Extended Made For TV Version with the Original Theatrical Version combine.

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

We need Shout! Factory to release an HD release of the TV Cut of *"AIRPLANE II: The Sequel",* just like what they did with the 3-hour-long Extended TV Cut of *"KING KONG '76".*

[@puterboy2]

And extended cuts of Earthquake and The Hindenburg.

[@Jdub14000]

Tons of deleted scenes. Almost a different movie.

[@sha11235]

And a little better because it explains stuff.

[@dougmasters4579]

Yeah. Funny to see the guy who cuts himself shaving getting knocked out in an earlier scene haha.

Tv version showed most of these I’m sure

[@watercooler]

Yeah, that’s why the title of the video says The TV Version.

Hey Chuck!

Hello

[@KevinShipe-tr2uk]

Tv Versions and Airplanes suck

[@watercooler]

Thoughtful comment. Really adds to the discussion.

[@Joe4Schrute1]

Too bad Airplane 2 couldn’t be deleted from the face of the earth, considering it’s a shitty sequel cash-grab.

[@watercooler]

Aww, come on, there's some great stuff in Airplane II.

[@Joe4Schrute1]

@@watercooler only the repeated troupes of the first movie, which is iconic. Only thing fresh & funny was Shatner, his acting alone would’ve opened the door to do more spoof movies.

[@MAMoreno]

Yeah, Airplane 2 is so bad that it might as well have the names Friedberg and Seltzer on it. It makes Fatal Instinct look like High Anxiety by comparison.

[@richtrm3177]

@@MAMoreno Airplane II: The Sequel is actually my least favourite movie of all time.

You have bad taste bub
