"Don't call me Shirley" has become a defining line in movie history thanks to this film. Airplane! is a hilarious parody of all disaster movies. Clever scripting and some risque humor help this film achieve a place in my movie collection. Never again will a spoof be this good.
Airplane! is the hilarious story of a man who gets on a plane where everybody gets sick from eating the salmon. Amid all the other strange events happening including turbulence that makes a woman's breasts jiggle along with her jello, he meets a beautiful flight attendant, a doctor, a girl who needs an organ donor in a different state, a doctor, and an odd pilot (Leslie Nielsen). The plot is already wacky enough for a great movie.
It's little things that nobody notices in this movie that make it worthwhile. For instance, while the opening credits are running, you can hear a man and a woman arguing over which colored lane you should walk in if you have no baggage. Also, after the film is done, there's a funny little scene involving the taxi driver from the beginning. The Zuckers are clever with their humor and one can easily see that by just taking a look at this.
Its not often that you come across a movie this funny. The dialogue is witty and the humor is so strange, you just have to laugh. Although it may be rated PG, there's some pretty inappropriate jokes and they're the best ones in the film. Airplane! is a clever parody movie that is now regarded as a classic.
