“I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley” is one of the ultimate classic lines in cinema. The doctor is played by Leslie Nielsen. Incredible comedy actor. If you’ve not seen the Naked Gun films, you’ve definitely got to check them out
There'll be a lot of recommendations for the Naked Gun movies, by the same production/writing team as Airplane!, but their follow up to Airplane! was a movie called "Top Secret" (1984) that is lesser known but some feel is their funniest, most clever movie...
I think leslie nelson was well known for those serious roles right? But he transitioned and did alot more work like this and IMO its really good. He has some sort of talent for it
@J Powzy The reason he was so good in the Zucker films was because he WASN'T a comedy actor. He was deadpan and serious about everything the whole time. That's why they hired him and the other actors for Police Squad. They were all known for being serious actors and not comedians, but they were in a show that was utterly stupid and random. If you watch some of the later flicks he was in (he was in a ton of crappy comedy films in the 90s), you'll see him hamming it up and playing goofy, but those were mostly terrible. He was not a comedian, he was just in a lot of comedy films.
@@kingscorpion7346 Forbidden Planet is such a great movie! I saw it as a kid, and I was super skeptical because it was way before my time, but I ended up loving it.
I think you could make this movie today but the problem is is the quality of the actors. You would really need to find people who work well and have that type of comedic timing to be able to do this movie. Plus even if they did, it makes me wonder that with this society would they even come to watch the movie?
The Turkish prison line in particular was a reference to the movie Midnight Express where an American is imprisoned in Turkey for dope smuggling and experiences homosexual rape.
The pilot is Peter Graves who played Jim Phelps - the team leader in the original Mission Impossible tv series. At the end of his life during an interview Graves expressed that he thought he'd always be remembered for the "This message will self-destruct in five seconds" line, but instead most people would approach him, particularly in airports, and ask if "he liked Gladiator movies" xD
yes!!! just today at work i was singing skeet surfin to my self and non of the other honda techs had any idea what i was talking about. its a must see for sure
Everyone is commenting on their favourite gag, so I'll mention mine as well. For some reason I always crack up whenever Robert Stack's character dramatically removes his shades, but he's wearing another pair underneath. I absolutely love it.
"Jim never has a 2nd cup at home" was a line from a coffee commercial at the time. The woman who could jive talk was Barbra Billingsley who had played the perfect suburban Mom/housewife on the TV show Leave It To Beaver which ran from 1957 - 1963. Most of the older actors in the film were well known for quite serious earlier career roles. At the time the contrast to their earlier images played into the humor of the film. This film is a parody of the 1957 disaster film "Zero Hour" using the same plot line and characters. You need to follow up with the Naked Gun series for more humor like this. Carry On!!
@@88wildcat Actually it was a commercial for Yuban. Funnily enough, I thought it was a commercial for Sanka until I looked it up. But I do remember seeing the commercial on TV when I was a kid. It played a lot.
Hi Brandon! In the '70's, back in the day when we had bicycles with banana seats and high-rise handlebars, we used to use a clothes pin to attach a baseball card (or a playing card) to the fork, so that it stuck inbetween the spokes of the wheel. When we rode it, the card would vibrate and sound like a motorcycle.
Part of the humor of this movie is that actors like Leslie Nielson started as drama actors in disaster movies. So this whole movie is filmed like a drawn out airplane disaster film, with actors you would expect to see in such a movie, and then all they do is make wise-cracks the entire time. This movie ended up relaunching Leslie's career from a somewhat unknown drama actor to a top-tier comedy actor.
Nielson was the cruise boat captain in THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, maybe the best disaster movie ever made. Fitting that he should help bury the genre here!
@@patrickflanagan3762 Poseiden Adventure should be made into a video game. Actually, almost ALL "bad" classic disaster movies should be remade into video games.
The whole George Zipp/"win one for the Zipper" thing is a direct reference to the movie "Knute Rockne, All American," in which a Notre Dame football player named George Gipp ("the Gipper," played by Ronald Reagan) dies on a hospital bed and gives the same speech to his coach that the Doctor gives to Ted. That's also the Notre Dame fight song being played during that scene.
If you go back and check, every time there is an exterior shot of the plane (a jet) flying, the sound effect is from a propeller driven plane. A very subtle gag.
“How soon can you land?” “I can’t tell” “You can tell me I’m a doctor” “I mean I’m just not sure” “Well can’t you take a guess?” “Not for another 2 hours” “You can’t take a guess for 2 hours?” Genuinely genius. My favourite conversation in any movie I think aha.
No matter how many times I see this, I always almost die laughing. Even just the cut to Leslie Nielsen with his stethoscope round his head "that's right" has me creasing every time
The two ground crew guys who accidentally directed the plane into the airport were Jerry and David Zucker, the movies creators. There was an interesting featurette with the two Jive Guys talking about how they developed their part, taking a simple speaking style and turning it into a full language. Even more fun was that while they were explaining that there was a scroll below them translating their perfect English into Jive
This actually happened at my wedding! The photographer told us he was going to take some pictures; but he didn’t want the paintings on the wall in the photos. So he started taking them down. My dad and I just started laughing. I don’t think he knew why.
The internal monologue of the woman thinking about her husband getting another cup of coffee is parodying a coffee commercial from around the same time (you hear the same internal monologue in the ad). As for the lead guy pouring drinks on his face, early on he mentions he has a "drinking problem" -- the problem being he can't get them into his mouth.
Leslie Nielsen, extremely dryly: "This... is how I would deliver... my line... in a drama." Equally dry: "And this... is how I would deliver... my line... in a comedy."
for some context, the actress barbara billingsley (who plays the lady that speaks jive) also played june cleaver in leave it to beaver during the late 50s and early 60s. she was basically america's proxy tv mother. that she played (and was remembered as) basically the whitest woman in america added so much to the comedy genius of that scene. years later, she gave an interview and in it she revealed that she received more fan mail over the jive talk scene than for any of her other work in her illustrious career. it was a small and simple role and scene, but a tribute to how comedy can bring people together even over a touchy subject.
For the very first time I noticed a woman throwing her baby up in the air when the plane smashes through the glass in the beginning. I have been watching this movie since I was a child in the 1980s. There is proof that you will watch this movie MANY more times and still notice new things. There are even jokes worked into the end credits of the movies made by these guys.
When capt over was next to the magazine rack, one rack was labeled "reading material" the next rack with playboy and penthouse was labeled "whacking material"
My favourite gag from this movie is the ongoing bit that our main character is so boring that everyone who sits next to him commits suicide. It's so dark. But so hilarious.
12:22 - That is a reference to an old coffee commercial from the 70s. It's one of the few "dated" jokes that, unless you're old enough to remember (or for some reason you have an afinity for vintage coffee commercials) you wouldn't know it right away. 21:03 - Yes, PLEASE! Anything by the "ZAZ" directors is this kind of funny. Personal favorites are this movie, Top Secret, The Naked Gun, and Hot Shots.
The dialog at 12:17 was making fun of a coffee commercial that was on TV at the time. All of the older actors in this movie were famous when I was growing up in the 60s. Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack were serious dramatic actors who usually played solid characters like detectives or spies or western heroes. Seeing them in this movie after growing up watching them was a real treat.
The woman speaking jive was the actress that played June Cleaver, the ultimate housewife & mom. That’s great casting. She’s the last person you’d expect to translate for them. A testament to the brilliance of the filmmakers.
32:31 And credit to you, Brandon! You found the post-credit scene and laughed hysterically at every gag! Others will no doubt fill you in on the jokes that haven't stood the test of time. But overall, I think this is the best reaction to Airplane I've seen! 🥳
Me too, having first watched this movie when I was a lot younger I just thought the joke was 'haha he can't drink properly'. Only realised years later what it really meant.
With me it was the Mister Rogers line. Mister Rogers was never a thing in the UK so I had no idea what that line meant until the Tom Hanks movie came out.
Don’t forget “Airplane II: The Sequel” which has the same humour. It has a lot of the original cast and includes William Shatner as the moon base commander.
Sonny Bono plays the terrorist who goes into the airport gift shop to buy a time bomb. On the wall of the gift shop is a poster of an old man wearing boxing shorts with the caption Rocky 43 on the poster.
I think it's funnier to imagine the captain just asking these questions out of genuine interest without any alterior motive in mind, but it just sounds really bad and he's oblivious to it.
I don’t think people get that asking if he’d ever been in a Turkish prison was a reference that a movie called Midnight Express that was well known at the time and “scandalously” included a sex scene with two men. And the movies about gladiators was a reference to Spartacus, another movie with gay overtones. Basically, he’s making a series of gay = child molester jokes. Doesn’t hold up too well, but was hilarious during that time.
In the song for the sick girl, the flight attendant singing about the River Jordan. The River Jordan is a reference to death. So she's singing about death to a sick kid.
All these great legendary dramatic actors in this movie...Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves; making one of the most iconic and hilarious comedies of all time.
What really makes this film so brilliant and funny is the fact that the cast played it totally straight in their performances. Everyone is acting like they are in a drama and not a comedy!!!!
The "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" line is a play on an old Folgers commercial. Such an amazing film with several stars known for more serious roles doing comedy.
I remember watching this as a kid back in the 80's and finding the original main pilot guy with the weird questions especially funny since he was the same actor who starred in the "Mission: Impossible" TV show and it was a really different role. Also, the guy in the control tower who keeps bemoaning that he picked the wrong week to quit his vices is the legendary Lloyd Bridges, Beau and Jeff Bridges' real life dad.
Yay!! You reacted to the post-credits taxi joke!! Everyone tends to skip/miss that one…I saw this movie in the theater when it originally came out, I was 8-years old…though I was too young to understand the more ‘adult’ jokes, me and everyone else in the theater were laughing til our sides ached. This movie was a hit from day one.
I watched this at a tech school when I was away from home for the 1st time for such a long time (a month then) and it was SUCH a pick me upper- I was very homesick. I got a DVD set with 20 movies on it for Christmas and Airplane! was one of them. I watched it the night after Christmas. :) One of my top 10 favorite comedies- 10/10. :)
Capt. Over was played by Peter Graves, who was younger brother of James Arness. And starred in the T.V. series "Mission Impossible". The Doctor was played by Leslie Neilson, who up till this time was a serious actor best known for starring in the sci fi classic "Forbidden Planet"
The bar scene is a parody of Saturday Night Fever, where Stayin' Alive by the BeeGees first appeared. The Beach scene, a parody of From Here to Eternity. The second cup of coffee internal dialogue was a commercial in the 70's. Win one for the zipper is a parody from the Knute Rockne story. You missed Jonathan Banks (Mike in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) in the control tower. He's the guy who said "what an asshole". Do the Naked Gun movies, Top Secret, and Hot Shots
I truly envy Brandon watching all of these incredible movies/shows for the first time. Watching him react and enjoy them makes me feel like I’m watching again for the first time. Love it!
Leslie Nielson's first comedy movie if im not mistaken. He was a drama actor and they wanted him to act the same was as in a drama. Leslie Nielson just sitting there with a stethoscope always cracks me up
I was almost 13 years old when this hit theaters, seeing this in a full theater and seeing people actually falling out of their seats from laughter is something I will never forget. Please check out Top Secret! which came out 3 years later from the same writer/directors and is Val Kilmer’s debut. I think it’s even funnier than this one.😂👍
You're SOO right about Too Secret. Airplane and Naked Gun are so much loved but everyone forgets about Top Secret. Top Secret's prop gags are so clever,hilarious and are like illusionists' tricks. EG a phone which looks like it's close to the camera but is actually a giant one.
I love Top Secret! What is almost as funny to me as the movie itself, is the fact that when the movie first came out, Finnish Board of Film Classification banned the whole movie, because they thought releasing it might jeopardize Finnish foreign relations with Soviet Union. I don't know if they had received some unofficial notice from the Russians, or not. The relationship between Finland and Soviet Union was strained at the time, but either way, banning a parody film like Top Secret felt, not only excessive, but ludicrous! It's like these people didn't have any sense of humor.
The older lady who spoke jive is Barbara Billingsley, who played Beaver's mom in Leave it to Beaver. Literally the last person you would think would speak jive.
"Kentucky Fried Movie" is by the Zucker Bros. as well from this same era, and contains much of the same style of humor, in a series of vignettes mostly mocking pop culture, TV, and movies. You should cover that one, if you like this :)
Equally impressive is the theme song for the "Kentucky Fried Movie" - which happens to be "The New Carioca" by the Grammy award winning Jonathon and Darlene Edwards: ua-cam.com/video/r-Cu2OjrxfY/v-deo.html
Holy mackrel, does this mean Brandon has NOT seen the Police Squad/ Naked Gu movies? Welp. he wanted more in this style... guess we know where this is headed
The 4 older actors were all famous serious dramatic actors, which is what makes it so funny. The guy smoking, popping pills and snorting glue is Jeff Bridges father Lloyd.
Well, it looks like you've found the gateway drug to the Zucker Brothers. They had immense box-office success with this one and with "The Naked Gun", but in my opinion their absolute craziest, silliest and most underrated film is "Top Secret" which (fun fact) was the big-screen debut of Val Kilmer.
"Jim's never had a second cup of coffee at home..." That was from a Folger's Crystals instant coffee commercial that was popular at the time. A couple would go out to a restaurant where they were served coffee, and you would hear that dialog from the man and internal dialog from the woman.
The four supporting actors... the captain Peter Graves), the doctor (Leslie Nielsen), the flight director (Lloyd Bridges), and the military pilot (Robert Stack) were all only known for really serious roles before this movie. So it was extra funny at the time just to see them juxtaposed against all the rest of the madness going on around them.
Way back when I was in highschool, a friend called me at like 11pm and said “turn on 17 right now!” First time either of us had come across the movie and both were like “what the hell is this!? This is amazing!” Lol 👍 (When I clicked on the channel, it was on the Ballet scenes 😂🤦♂️”
The actor playing the man who "picked the wrong day to quit" was Lloyd Bridges father of actors Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges. Lloyd has done other good comedies like Hot Shots!, Hot Shots! Part Deux & Mafia!. He was also in the 90s action film Blown Away staring his son Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones.
10:02 A parody of this classic moment: look up "From Here to Eternity- Beach Scene" on UA-cam 12:21 Dated spoof of an old TV commercial. In fact, the entire film is basically 1957's _Zero Hour!_ twisted into a parody and peppered with bits from the _Airport_ franchise (the guitar nun, the sick child, beating up the panicky passenger, etc). There are several _Airplane!_ vs _Zero Hour!_ comparison videos up now, and it's hilarious to see how little needed to be changed to turn turgid drama into hilarious comedy. (Also, this helps explain why characters in their thirties, in a film presumably set in 1980, are having flashbacks to WWII footage.)
I think the stock footage was part of the joke on a couple different levels. The first being the anachronistic footage, and then an inside joke about low budget films using cheap stock footage.
Any movie with Leslie Nielsen from the 80s and forward is a must. This movie had som big name stars for it's time. Most of them known for doing serious stuff, which makes it even more funny since no one expected them to be this funny. Like Rex Kramer (Robert Stack), the pilot on the ground helping them was the host of unsolved mysteries at the time.
The second cup of coffee line was a reference to a commercial running at the time, The George Zipp scene was a throwback to a movie about Notre Dame football starring Ronald Reagan as George Gipp, where he was telling the team to "win one for the Gipper". The director and writer were the two guys directing plane traffic when the plane crashed into the building. All of the older guys were all known for their serious roles.
The Reagan joke makes more sense considering he was running for President when this movie came out in 1980 so he would have been mentioned daily in the news.
One of the most funny things about this movie is that before it Leslie Nielson (the doctor) was acting mostly in disaster movies (like the one Airplane is parodying) and this movie started his comedy career to the point where most people don't even know he ever did anything other than comedy movies.
More like this that haven't been suggested yet: The best possible follow up = UHF starring Weird Al Hot Shots Hot Shots: Part Deux Spy Hard Monty Python films Mel Brooks Films
@@robobengt yeah Hot Shots is technically terrible but I think that’s part of its charm haha. Almost like a spoof of a spoof. Spy hard isn’t great either
Many of these spoof movies are based on things in earlier disaster movies. This one is based on Airport from 1970. Many things that happen like the suck little girk, the singer with a guitar, an hysterical woman getting slapped were all in Airport but it was a serious disaster movie. There were so many great disaster movies in the '70s, Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, Meteor, Avalanche...you get the point. Huge stars were in these movies together like Steve McQueen and Paul Newman sharing the credits. They were fun movies and Airplane captures them perfectly.
Hey Brandon loved the reaction as always! Two things I wanted to point out … First off, you mentioned wanting to watch other movies by the guys that wrote this. One of my favorite movies of all time is called Ruthless People. It stars Danny DeVito and Bette Midler and it’s written by the same guys. Highly recommend!! Second, the radar guy in the brown leather jacket is played by a very young Johnathan Banks!! I know you’re a huge Mike from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so I thought you’d appreciate that.
What helps this movie age so well is that they spoofed a genre of films, as opposed to focusing on one or two specific films. By tackling the tropes that comes with the disaster genre of films, it means you don't have to know some exact films in order to get the jokes, which gives this film a stronger legacy than most of the films they're lampooning. Compare that to the modern day takes on spoofs, like Scary Movie and all of the offshoots that followed, when they went after films in the zeitgeist, when those films start to fade, so do those spoofs. This film is brilliantly written and laid out. It's perfect!
23.33 the woman who translates the jive talk is Barbara billingsley. She played the mother in the sitcom leave it to beaver. This brief cameo revived her career and she went on to appear in the love boat and Mork and mindy
@26:07 "This dude has the absolute worst hand-eye coordination ever" That's Ted's drinking problem. He has a problem drinking. For the longest time i also didn't quite understand the joke until it just dawned on me.
The entire dance sequences a parody of Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta. The beach scene is a parody of famous scene in the movie From Here to Eternity. The Jive lady was Barbara Billingsley, America's mom from the wildly popular Leave it to Beaver Show. She had a very staid but warm screen image. The Gorge zip scene was a reference to a Ronald Reagan movie I've never seen where he was called The Gipper.
I believe the film was Knute Rockne, All American from the 1940s, with Pat O'Brien as the legendary Notre Dame football coach and Ronald Reagan as his favorite player, George Gipp (fondly remembered as "the Gipper"; in fact, when people talk about "the Gipper" today, odds are they're talking about Reagan as much as Gipp himself, so identified was he with the role). 😎
“I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley” is one of the ultimate classic lines in cinema. The doctor is played by Leslie Nielsen. Incredible comedy actor. If you’ve not seen the Naked Gun films, you’ve definitely got to check them out
and for a younger and more serious actor, you can see him as a starship captain in the 1956 sci-fi thriller, Forbidden Planet
There'll be a lot of recommendations for the Naked Gun movies, by the same production/writing team as Airplane!, but their follow up to Airplane! was a movie called "Top Secret" (1984) that is lesser known but some feel is their funniest, most clever movie...

People always say 'you couldnt make this now.' But like Mel Brooks said about Blazing Saddles, "You couldnt make it back then either."
Blazing Saddles will be on TV tomorrow night. From 2000 to 2010. Including credits.
Right lol. people are weirdly obsessed with the idea of something being "cancelled" or people being "sensitive" when literally nothing has changed.
I think you could make this movie today but the problem is is the quality of the actors. You would really need to find people who work well and have that type of comedic timing to be able to do this movie.

People have ALWAYS been saying "Everyone's so sensitive nowadays!"
"A grown man naked"
"Hang around a gymnasium"
"In prision"
"Movies about gladiators"
Because COCKPIT.
The Turkish prison line in particular was a reference to the movie Midnight Express where an American is imprisoned in Turkey for dope smuggling and experiences homosexual rape.
The first and probably last film to laugh at pedophilia.
Oh NOW I get how those are all connected
Some of the most hilarious scenes in cinema history
The guy who opens the microwave at 24:28 is played by Johnathan Banks, aka Mike from Breaking Bad/BCS, he looks so young in this!
WHOA! I just caught that!
Holy moly
29:01 That is him too! 😆
Its an Amana Radarange, the first popular microwave oven. He was asked to check the radar range.

It’s about the only joke that’s kind of dated now.
There are so many subtle jokes in this movie it's crazy. You can watch it 20 times and still pick up new things. One of the greatest comedies ever.

They actually bought the rights to Zero Hour because of how close the two plots were, Airplane is literally comedic Zero Hour.

Hi Brandon! In the '70's, back in the day when we had bicycles with banana seats and high-rise handlebars, we used to use a clothes pin to attach a baseball card (or a playing card) to the fork, so that it stuck inbetween the spokes of the wheel. When we rode it, the card would vibrate and sound like a motorcycle.
I'm surprised he's never heard of putting baseball cards in bike spokes.
I did that in the late 90s early 2000s. Though I may have used cardboard or pokemon cards. I had the cooolest bike.
Or just any disposable plastic glass, at least this was the modus operandi in the 80's.
(Noiser 😈, to pretend it was a motorcycle 😂)
Yup! all the time!
I did that too in 2000s but not with a baseball card... I dont even remember what we used

The PA announcers from the start of the film are an actual married couple who did the announcements at LA International
Are you kidding me??! I never knew that! That’s so great! Lol!
That’s the part I think about whenever someone mentions Airplane! Cracks me up from the start.
The look on the boy’s face when the girl says she takes her coffee black… like her men. Oh, it just destroys me every time.

It's funny because back then the headphones they gave you to watch movies on the airplane looked just like stethoscopes.
I think there was only one reactor I have seen realized the lady had bird flu.
The two ground crew guys who accidentally directed the plane into the airport were Jerry and David Zucker, the movies creators. There was an interesting featurette with the two Jive Guys talking about how they developed their part, taking a simple speaking style and turning it into a full language. Even more fun was that while they were explaining that there was a scroll below them translating their perfect English into Jive
He keeps spilling drink on his face because he has a problem drinking or a "drinking problem". Another beautiful pun
Do you notice, every time you see the jet, there are propeller sounds, so funny! Jimmy's my favorite character!
The little girl “coffee” moment is one of if not my favorite joke delivery of all time. She killed it.
And his reaction, too.
The look on the boy right after is one of my favourite shots from this movie.
The boy's face was priceless after that
"And now we have a kid in the cockpit, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen" - Well you weren't wrong XD
My favourite line is “let’s get some pictures”
*steals the pictures*
Watching Em from Just Summ Reactions lose her freaking mind over that joke was one of the best things ever.
This actually happened at my wedding! The photographer told us he was going to take some pictures; but he didn’t want the paintings on the wall in the photos. So he started taking them down. My dad and I just started laughing. I don’t think he knew why.
The internal monologue of the woman thinking about her husband getting another cup of coffee is parodying a coffee commercial from around the same time (you hear the same internal monologue in the ad). As for the lead guy pouring drinks on his face, early on he mentions he has a "drinking problem" -- the problem being he can't get them into his mouth.
Leslie Nielsen, extremely dryly: "This... is how I would deliver... my line... in a drama."
Equally dry: "And this... is how I would deliver... my line... in a comedy."
He was told to act like a drama
for some context, the actress barbara billingsley (who plays the lady that speaks jive) also played june cleaver in leave it to beaver during the late 50s and early 60s. she was basically america's proxy tv mother. that she played (and was remembered as) basically the whitest woman in america added so much to the comedy genius of that scene.
years later, she gave an interview and in it she revealed that she received more fan mail over the jive talk scene than for any of her other work in her illustrious career. it was a small and simple role and scene, but a tribute to how comedy can bring people together even over a touchy subject.
For the very first time I noticed a woman throwing her baby up in the air when the plane smashes through the glass in the beginning. I have been watching this movie since I was a child in the 1980s. There is proof that you will watch this movie MANY more times and still notice new things. There are even jokes worked into the end credits of the movies made by these guys.
When capt over was next to the magazine rack, one rack was labeled "reading material" the next rack with playboy and penthouse was labeled "whacking material"
My favourite gag from this movie is the ongoing bit that our main character is so boring that everyone who sits next to him commits suicide. It's so dark. But so hilarious.
Gets a callback in
"The Sequel" when he's rambling on too long in the asylum. 😏👈
I love the drinking problem
@Bob Stone you used the word simp wrong you absolute melt
12:22 - That is a reference to an old coffee commercial from the 70s. It's one of the few "dated" jokes that, unless you're old enough to remember (or for some reason you have an afinity for vintage coffee commercials) you wouldn't know it right away.
21:03 - Yes, PLEASE! Anything by the "ZAZ" directors is this kind of funny. Personal favorites are this movie, Top Secret, The Naked Gun, and Hot Shots.
The couple arguing over the PA were in fact a real life couple, who were responsible for the PA announcements at LAX.
LAX had their real recording for YEARS after this movie and I could not get through the airport terminal without laughing out loud.
This one I did NOT know, thank you!
Imagine how much fun they must have had recording the sound pieces for this movie.
The dialog at 12:17 was making fun of a coffee commercial that was on TV at the time.
All of the older actors in this movie were famous when I was growing up in the 60s. Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack were serious dramatic actors who usually played solid characters like detectives or spies or western heroes. Seeing them in this movie after growing up watching them was a real treat.
The woman speaking jive was the actress that played June Cleaver, the ultimate housewife & mom. That’s great casting. She’s the last person you’d expect to translate for them. A testament to the brilliance of the filmmakers.
@@garyglaser4998 a character whose name is June Cleaver...
*Penultimate housewife?
Why is she the second to last housewife?!?!
I think you mean 'ultimate-housewife'!
Do you know what “penultimate” means ?
Yeaaaaahhhhh bro, penultimate means second to last. You definitely meant ultimate.
@@jamespasifull3424 😂
32:31 And credit to you, Brandon! You found the post-credit scene and laughed hysterically at every gag! Others will no doubt fill you in on the jokes that haven't stood the test of time. But overall, I think this is the best reaction to Airplane I've seen! 🥳
It took me a while to get the "drinking problem joke" as much as "in your face" as it is.
Me too, having first watched this movie when I was a lot younger I just thought the joke was 'haha he can't drink properly'. Only realised years later what it really meant.
With me it was the Mister Rogers line. Mister Rogers was never a thing in the UK so I had no idea what that line meant until the Tom Hanks movie came out.
Don’t forget “Airplane II: The Sequel” which has the same humour. It has a lot of the original cast and includes William Shatner as the moon base commander.
Well, it was not made by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker trio. Also funny, but less memorable.
Yeah not really on the same level though
Sonny Bono plays the terrorist who goes into the airport gift shop to buy a time bomb. On the wall of the gift shop is a poster of an old man wearing boxing shorts with the caption Rocky 43 on the poster.
Airplane II was a pale imitation. And the filmmakers weren't the same.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit watching movie reactions...
17:50 Lloyd Bridges. Actor and father of two actor sons - Jeff Bridges, aka "The Dude" and Beau Bridges.
Sadly II don't think the captain was asking random questions. He seemed to have a clear plan...
I think it's funnier to imagine the captain just asking these questions out of genuine interest without any alterior motive in mind, but it just sounds really bad and he's oblivious to it.
@@ethanlivemere1162 Yeah, but...
I know, he was a freak! 😱
How did Brandon didn't get it though 😂
I don’t think people get that asking if he’d ever been in a Turkish prison was a reference that a movie called Midnight Express that was well known at the time and “scandalously” included a sex scene with two men. And the movies about gladiators was a reference to Spartacus, another movie with gay overtones. Basically, he’s making a series of gay = child molester jokes. Doesn’t hold up too well, but was hilarious during that time.
@@Y_.R This must be how they groomed children before the internet. 🤷♂️
In the song for the sick girl, the flight attendant singing about the River Jordan. The River Jordan is a reference to death. So she's singing about death to a sick kid.
RIP Leslie Neilson, one of the funniest men to ever grace the screen. Lloyd Bridges was a king of comedy too.
All these great legendary dramatic actors in this movie...Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves; making one of the most iconic and hilarious comedies of all time.
What really makes this film so brilliant and funny is the fact that the cast played it totally straight in their performances. Everyone is acting like they are in a drama and not a comedy!!!!
Except that one guy in the control tower. He was definitely not playing it straight.
@@Jordan-Ramses That's why he stood out :)
@@Jordan-Ramses Well of course .... He's gay!
@@jamesalexander5623 you got the joke, thank you
Striker's "drinking problem" is an absolutely fantastic sight gag/play on words!
‘It’s a different kind of flying, altogether!’
(simultaneously) ‘…it’s a different kind of flying.’
It's a different kind of flying, altogether.
The "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" line is a play on an old Folgers commercial. Such an amazing film with several stars known for more serious roles doing comedy.
It was a Yuban Coffee commercial from the 70's
I remember watching this as a kid back in the 80's and finding the original main pilot guy with the weird questions especially funny since he was the same actor who starred in the "Mission: Impossible" TV show and it was a really different role.
Also, the guy in the control tower who keeps bemoaning that he picked the wrong week to quit his vices is the legendary Lloyd Bridges, Beau and Jeff Bridges' real life dad.
Yeah and Lloyd Bridges was brilliant in Hot Shots too.
Yay!! You reacted to the post-credits taxi joke!! Everyone tends to skip/miss that one…I saw this movie in the theater when it originally came out, I was 8-years old…though I was too young to understand the more ‘adult’ jokes, me and everyone else in the theater were laughing til our sides ached. This movie was a hit from day one.
My dad loved this movie and we'd often quote it. This movie is a great way for me to remember him with.
Same here. I'd watch it with my Mom and Dad. Just remembering my Dad's laugh throughout the movie is such a precious memory now.
I watched this at a tech school when I was away from home for the 1st time for such a long time (a month then) and it was SUCH a pick me upper- I was very homesick.
I got a DVD set with 20 movies on it for Christmas and Airplane! was one of them. I watched it the night after Christmas. :)
One of my top 10 favorite comedies- 10/10. :)
I love that the plane is clearly a jet, but the sound it makes is a propeller one 🤣
Capt. Over was played by Peter Graves, who was younger brother of James Arness. And starred in the T.V. series "Mission Impossible". The Doctor was played by Leslie Neilson, who up till this time was a serious actor best known for starring in the sci fi classic "Forbidden Planet"
The bar scene is a parody of Saturday Night Fever, where Stayin' Alive by the BeeGees first appeared.
The Beach scene, a parody of From Here to Eternity.
The second cup of coffee internal dialogue was a commercial in the 70's.
Win one for the zipper is a parody from the Knute Rockne story.
You missed Jonathan Banks (Mike in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) in the control tower. He's the guy who said "what an asshole".
Do the Naked Gun movies, Top Secret, and Hot Shots
I truly envy Brandon watching all of these incredible movies/shows for the first time. Watching him react and enjoy them makes me feel like I’m watching again for the first time. Love it!
Films exactly like this. Airplane 2, Naked Gun 1,2,& 3 (Featuring the Doctor from Airplane), Top Secret (Featuring Val Kilmer). All hilarious.
Don't forget the Police Squad TV show that ran for 6 episodes and was the basis for the Naked Gun movies. ;)
the humour NEVER stops in this movie....you should watch the end credits you'd be amazed at how many written gags they pack into them!
Leslie Nielson's first comedy movie if im not mistaken. He was a drama actor and they wanted him to act the same was as in a drama.
Leslie Nielson just sitting there with a stethoscope always cracks me up
All of these Very Serious Actors being Very Serious in the most ludicrous manner possible.
And no one laughs but the audience.
The propeller sound effects throughout whenever the planes on screen Waaaaaah looooool love it
I was almost 13 years old when this hit theaters, seeing this in a full theater and seeing people actually falling out of their seats from laughter is something I will never forget. Please check out Top Secret! which came out 3 years later from the same writer/directors and is Val Kilmer’s debut. I think it’s even funnier than this one.😂👍
I would pay a lot of money to go back in time and witness that.
You're SOO right about Too Secret. Airplane and Naked Gun are so much loved but everyone forgets about Top Secret. Top Secret's prop gags are so clever,hilarious and are like illusionists' tricks. EG a phone which looks like it's close to the camera but is actually a giant one.
I love Top Secret! What is almost as funny to me as the movie itself, is the fact that when the movie first came out, Finnish Board of Film Classification banned the whole movie, because they thought releasing it might jeopardize Finnish foreign relations with Soviet Union. I don't know if they had received some unofficial notice from the Russians, or not. The relationship between Finland and Soviet Union was strained at the time, but either way, banning a parody film like Top Secret felt, not only excessive, but ludicrous! It's like these people didn't have any sense of humor.
This is a fantastic, entertaining reaction! You really appreciated the whole approach of the humor.
Fun Fact: the radio guy that says, "WE GOT ABOUT 2 MINUTES, CHIEF!" is Mike the hitman from BREAKING BAD!
I was just about to say! I mean without his beard he isn't super recognizable
For real, I just noticed that and came to the comments to see if I was right.
Also Ben Wyatt's dad in Parks and Recreation.
The older lady who spoke jive is Barbara Billingsley, who played Beaver's mom in Leave it to Beaver. Literally the last person you would think would speak jive.
Puns are so beloved in my family, my dad and I quote the Vector Victor scene all the time. 😂
One of only two films ever to leave my face sore the next days from smiles and laughter. The other was "The Gods must be crazy".
I didn't understand "Air Israel" as a kid... Now, it always kills me!!!
My favorite running gag is every shot of the jet flying has a prop plane sound effect.
That running "that's not important right now" joke is the best
"Kentucky Fried Movie" is by the Zucker Bros. as well from this same era, and contains much of the same style of humor, in a series of vignettes mostly mocking pop culture, TV, and movies. You should cover that one, if you like this :)
i feel not enough people have seen that gem!
it might be a little harder to edit for youtube though lol
Equally impressive is the theme song for the "Kentucky Fried Movie" - which happens to be "The New Carioca" by the Grammy award winning Jonathon and Darlene Edwards: ua-cam.com/video/r-Cu2OjrxfY/v-deo.html
Holy mackrel, does this mean Brandon has NOT seen the Police Squad/ Naked Gu movies? Welp. he wanted more in this style... guess we know where this is headed
The 4 older actors were all famous serious dramatic actors, which is what makes it so funny. The guy smoking, popping pills and snorting glue is Jeff Bridges father Lloyd.
The very best moment is when they show an exterior shot of the jet airliner and accompany it with propeller aircraft audio.
No one ever gets the propeller sound. Cracks me up every time and so many miss it
ZAZ wanted a prop plane like in Zero Hour! but the studio insisted on the setting being a modern jet. So they had their way with the sound effects.
"We have clearance, Clarence", 'Roger, Roger. Whats our vector, Victor?'
Well, it looks like you've found the gateway drug to the Zucker Brothers. They had immense box-office success with this one and with "The Naked Gun", but in my opinion their absolute craziest, silliest and most underrated film is "Top Secret" which (fun fact) was the big-screen debut of Val Kilmer.
Or Hot Shots, which was directed by Airplane's third director Jim Abrahams.
Peter Cushing's introduction cracks me up every time!!
That giant eyeball!! 😜
Top Secret is very obviously not their most underrated film, seeing as Rat Race and BASEketball aren’t being mentioned here.
@@tempsitch5632 Holy shit did they do BASEketball?
@@robobengt Not the exact same team of producers/writers, but David Zucker did direct.
BTW Zucker is in Airplane as one of the religious zealots.
"Jim's never had a second cup of coffee at home..." That was from a Folger's Crystals instant coffee commercial that was popular at the time. A couple would go out to a restaurant where they were served coffee, and you would hear that dialog from the man and internal dialog from the woman.
If you liked Airplane, you need to watch Top Secret!!
It's the best in the genre lol
The four supporting actors... the captain Peter Graves), the doctor (Leslie Nielsen), the flight director (Lloyd Bridges), and the military pilot (Robert Stack) were all only known for really serious roles before this movie. So it was extra funny at the time just to see them juxtaposed against all the rest of the madness going on around them.
You need to watch Top Secret. It was their next film. I think it's even better. It stars Val Kilmer in his first film role.
Way back when I was in highschool, a friend called me at like 11pm and said “turn on 17 right now!”
First time either of us had come across the movie and both were like “what the hell is this!? This is amazing!” Lol 👍
(When I clicked on the channel, it was on the Ballet scenes 😂🤦♂️”
The actor playing the man who "picked the wrong day to quit" was Lloyd Bridges father of actors Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges. Lloyd has done other good comedies like Hot Shots!, Hot Shots! Part Deux & Mafia!. He was also in the 90s action film Blown Away staring his son Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones.
10:02 A parody of this classic moment: look up "From Here to Eternity- Beach Scene" on UA-cam
12:21 Dated spoof of an old TV commercial.
In fact, the entire film is basically 1957's _Zero Hour!_ twisted into a parody and peppered with bits from the _Airport_ franchise (the guitar nun, the sick child, beating up the panicky passenger, etc). There are several _Airplane!_ vs _Zero Hour!_ comparison videos up now, and it's hilarious to see how little needed to be changed to turn turgid drama into hilarious comedy. (Also, this helps explain why characters in their thirties, in a film presumably set in 1980, are having flashbacks to WWII footage.)
Well, they never said what war. Could have been Vietnam. Place names were made up. But you're right, World War 2 was always just "the war."
I think the stock footage was part of the joke on a couple different levels. The first being the anachronistic footage, and then an inside joke about low budget films using cheap stock footage.
Any movie with Leslie Nielsen from the 80s and forward is a must.
This movie had som big name stars for it's time. Most of them known for doing serious stuff, which makes it even more funny since no one expected them to be this funny. Like Rex Kramer (Robert Stack), the pilot on the ground helping them was the host of unsolved mysteries at the time.
The second cup of coffee line was a reference to a commercial running at the time,
The George Zipp scene was a throwback to a movie about Notre Dame football starring Ronald Reagan as George Gipp, where he was telling the team to "win one for the Gipper".
The director and writer were the two guys directing plane traffic when the plane crashed into the building.
All of the older guys were all known for their serious roles.
The Reagan joke makes more sense considering he was running for President when this movie came out in 1980 so he would have been mentioned daily in the news.
The woman who translated the two guys talking jive was Barbara Billingsley, the mother from the 50s sitcom Leave it to Beaver.
And the make-up woman who comes off the plane with her face fully painted is their mother
Capt. Over was played by Peter Graves from the Mission Impossible TV series
One of the most funny things about this movie is that before it Leslie Nielson (the doctor) was acting mostly in disaster movies (like the one Airplane is parodying) and this movie started his comedy career to the point where most people don't even know he ever did anything other than comedy movies.
More like this that haven't been suggested yet:
The best possible follow up = UHF starring Weird Al
Hot Shots
Hot Shots: Part Deux
Spy Hard
Monty Python films
Mel Brooks Films
I hear they have it all on UHF.
Yeah, UHF and at least the earlier Mel Brooks films. Haven't rewatched Hot Shots Part Deux in a long time but I didn't think the first one holds up.
@@robobengt yeah Hot Shots is technically terrible but I think that’s part of its charm haha. Almost like a spoof of a spoof. Spy hard isn’t great either
Want the immediate follow ups, you HAVE to go with the Zucker Abrahams Zucker masterpieces: The Naked Gun trilogy.
Hot Shots (👎🏾)
Many of these spoof movies are based on things in earlier disaster movies. This one is based on Airport from 1970. Many things that happen like the suck little girk, the singer with a guitar, an hysterical woman getting slapped were all in Airport but it was a serious disaster movie. There were so many great disaster movies in the '70s, Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, Meteor, Avalanche...you get the point. Huge stars were in these movies together like Steve McQueen and Paul Newman sharing the credits. They were fun movies and Airplane captures them perfectly.
I don’t know what you were thinking Brandon, but this is an entirely different kind of movie, all together.
An entirely different kind of movie.
@@trespasserswill7052 an entirely different... damn, I'm out of sync.
@@ShadowTrailMedia out of sync like the propellers on a 707?
Hey Brandon loved the reaction as always! Two things I wanted to point out …
First off, you mentioned wanting to watch other movies by the guys that wrote this. One of my favorite movies of all time is called Ruthless People. It stars Danny DeVito and Bette Midler and it’s written by the same guys. Highly recommend!!
Second, the radar guy in the brown leather jacket is played by a very young Johnathan Banks!! I know you’re a huge Mike from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, so I thought you’d appreciate that.
I was hoping you would get to this. I guess we will see your reaction to Naked Gun soon?
I definitely want to check those movies out!
@@BrandonLikesMovies If you can, check out Police Squad first, also starring Leslie Nielsen. Naked Gun is the spin-off from Police Squad.
"Top Secret" as well, that movie is a gem.
@@BrandonLikesMovies, the naked gun trilogy is the 2nd best comedy movie trilogy of all time. 1st is austin powers.
@@pablom-f8762 And "Johnny Dangerously" too. Both movies are under rated
Kudos to you for including the final joke of the movie!!! Lots of reactors miss that! (Great edit of the movie, thanks!)
You are now officially baptized with all (most) of the appropriate classics one needs to view… well done Brandon, well done indeed…
What helps this movie age so well is that they spoofed a genre of films, as opposed to focusing on one or two specific films. By tackling the tropes that comes with the disaster genre of films, it means you don't have to know some exact films in order to get the jokes, which gives this film a stronger legacy than most of the films they're lampooning. Compare that to the modern day takes on spoofs, like Scary Movie and all of the offshoots that followed, when they went after films in the zeitgeist, when those films start to fade, so do those spoofs. This film is brilliantly written and laid out. It's perfect!
Btw, Comedy runs in the family: the cigarette and glue addict (Lloyd Bridges) is the father of the big Lobwski (Jeff Bridges)
Don't forget Beau. ☺️
23.33 the woman who translates the jive talk is Barbara billingsley. She played the mother in the sitcom leave it to beaver. This brief cameo revived her career and she went on to appear in the love boat and Mork and mindy
@26:07 "This dude has the absolute worst hand-eye coordination ever"
That's Ted's drinking problem. He has a problem drinking. For the longest time i also didn't quite understand the joke until it just dawned on me.
24:33 In the old days Microwave ovens were nicknamed "Radar ranges" the first models were built by Raytheon in 1950's (Who to this day make radar)
The entire dance sequences a parody of Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta.
The beach scene is a parody of famous scene in the movie From Here to Eternity.
The Jive lady was Barbara Billingsley, America's mom from the wildly popular Leave it to Beaver Show. She had a very staid but warm screen image.
The Gorge zip scene was a reference to a Ronald Reagan movie I've never seen where he was called The Gipper.
I believe the film was Knute Rockne, All American from the 1940s, with Pat O'Brien as the legendary Notre Dame football coach and Ronald Reagan as his favorite player, George Gipp (fondly remembered as "the Gipper"; in fact, when people talk about "the Gipper" today, odds are they're talking about Reagan as much as Gipp himself, so identified was he with the role). 😎
He misses his mouth because he has a "drinking problem", he mentioned that when he was doing the missionary scene.
