Great reaction Homies. The Mayo Clinic is a famous hospital in the U.S. known for organ transplants among other things. Roger the co-pilot was played by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a famous basketball player. You are right, this is a difficult one for people whose native language isn't English. There is a lot of subtle word play and puns which are easy to miss. Also, a lot of the jokes were based on things in American pop culture when the movie came out - as an example, when the woman said, "Jim never throws up at home", the joke was that same actress was in a coffee commercial in which she says "Jim never has a second cup at home." Also, the older woman who spoke 'jive' played the mother on Leave it to Beaver a wholesome, black and white family sitcom from the 1950's, so she is the last person you would think of being able to speak 'jive'

Even when this movie was made, there's no way he could have been old enough to have fought in ww2, the war had been over 35 years when this came out and it was set in modern time and it got more ridiculous in the sequel when, looking exactly the same, he's piloting a shuttle to the moon. Oh, and none of them have picked up on the Godfather jab when the woman is in bed with the horse. Has to be the very best of all the movies of this type. Very funny 😂

The backstory of this movie is great. The Zucker Brothers, who made the movie, had a VCR and would record old movies that networks would air after midnight. One night, they recorded a movie called “Zero Hour!” and they wrote the script for “Airplane” so close to “Zero Hour”, they bought the rights to “Zero Hour” to avoid being sued.

There was a whole series of fairly big budget air disaster movies that came out in the 70's ("Airport", " Airport 1975", " Airport '77", and the much less successful "The Concord - Airport '79") which the Zucker's claimed that they'd never even heard of. I find that claim hard to believe, since the first three of those movies were all big hits. I kind of suspect that they bought the (probably much cheaper) rights to Zero Hour to avoid being sued by the Airport people. But it's true that Airplane follows the plot of Zero Hour pretty closely, remarkably so considering how much of it seemed to be an obvious parody of the Airport movies to people like me who'd seen them and hadn't even heard of Zero Hour. I can only conclude that the Airport scripts all stole liberally from Zero Hour.

Even if English is your first language you can miss a lot of jokes in this movie, so don’t worry about that. There are a ton of references and if you’re not familiar with them you won’t fully get the joke. Having English as a second language definitely would add to the difficulty curve of some of the jokes in Airplane though, especially the Jive Talk. Luckily this movie is so loaded with joke that even if you miss a bunch there’s bound to more than enough to enjoy. Sight gags in particular will keep people entertained in it. I highly recommend Naked Gun. It’s similar in tone, but I think it relies less on understanding references so you should find its comedy more straightforward to understand.

Fun fact: here, in France, this movie is titled "Is there a pilote in the airplane?" And all the comedic movies with Leslie Nielsen have a title that starts with "Is there...?", and thus are considered part of the same franchise. Those include: Is there a cop to save the queen? Is there a cop to save the president? Is there a cop to save Hollywood? Etc.

I took one of the brothers (writers/makers) of this film out to dinner in London, a few years after this film came out. Three girls just like you were sitting at the next table and we started flirting together. I asked them if they had seen Airplane, to which they said no. My new friend proceeded to say and do the most outrageous things, which I thought absolutely hilarious, and they thought we were totally crazy. I still recall the evening with fondness all these years later.

I absolutely love at 16:50, the "I got to get out of here" scene... Rarely have I seen Michelle laugh so wholeheartedly with such big smile and Ellie's shock rising with every second while laughing at the same time. The same at 25:45 ("Just kidding... Ah-haha!"). Loved Michelle's big laugh while Ellie is in total shock :D This movie is great and had so many jokes that you cannot stop smiling/laughing in any scene :D LOVE IT! Love the reaction, Homies

Airplane! is an almost scene-for-scene copy of an old movie called "Zero Hour"... except Airplane! is a parody. They actually licensed the rights to "Zero Hour" to avoid complications with their parody.

Don't feel bad for missing lots of the jokes; it's not just that they're doing wordplay on very specific English sayings, they are making fun of a certain kind of old dramatic movies from 1950's and 60's, about airplane disasters, AND they're doing it using the references that a 1970's American audience would have recognized. So even Americans your age will miss a lot of the humor, because it's so outdated. Though of course some of the stuff is timeless, like the wonderfully deadpan Leslie Nielson as the doctor.

Lia definitely gets it. 🙂

Sometimes you have to rewatch this movie just to understand or appreciate some of the comedy scenes, especially if you're not american..

This comedy is based on the airplane disaster movies from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. There was a movie where food poisoning was the problem, there was a movie where there was a young girl ready for a transplant, and other situations that were written in the Airplane script. Many of the actors in the movie worked in television for many years. The movie script had them making fun of the tough guys they played in the past.

SO glad you watched this LOL... If you enjoy this type of silliness... DO check out the writers/directors next project called 'Top Secret!' It stars a young Val Kilmer in his first role and i'd describe it as a combination of an Elvis Musical Beach movie & a WWII espionage film with a huge dose of absurdity thrown on top.

I was literally just on walmart looking at the movies on sale and passed by Airplane and was wondering if it was a good movie or not and then boom here's a reaction to it

If English is not your first language, you'll miss 40% of the jokes. If you were not an American born before 1970, you'll miss 70% of the jokes. There are a lot of references poking fun at pop culture events of the time. How many people will remember the Yuban coffee commercial - much less recognize this woman as the same actress in that commercial? "Saturday Night Fever" was a monster phenomenon a couple of years prior, so that really resonated. For many of us, you had some very serious actors doing their first comic turns. Leslie Nielson, Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Robert Stack we all well known dramatic actors. And, seeing cameos from Barbara Billingsley , Ethel Merman and Jimmie "J.J." Walker, was a trip at the time.

You all actually understood some of the jokes better than some others who have reacted to this movie (and English is their first language).

Leslie Nielson who played the doctor was also in six episodes of a TV show called Police Squad written by the same team. There was a sequel, Airplane 2 (naturally) and then 'Top Secret' followed by 'The Naked Gun' films, based on Police Squad.

"Are you a doctor?" How could she tell? 😂

This is one of my favorite old movies. I wondered if it would hold up to a first viewing now, and I'm glad it did.

Guys: This movie was a direct response to the 1970s fad for disaster movies. A lot of its stranger scenes were a direct parody of either Airport '75 or Zero Hour. For instance, in one a hysterical passenger is slapped, and that's why Airplane! had that one scene. In another, there's a little sick girl, and a nun sings her a song. As for the horse in the bed, there is a famous horrifying scene in The Godfather where a guy wakes up and finds the head - just the head - of his champion thoroughbred racehorse on his bed. Gaahh! So that's what that's all about.

The lead actors are famous for starring in serious filns and popular TV dramas. They are doing a parody of their real characters.

Her: "Maybe grandma is sleeping?" Me: Umm, in a manner of speaking

The key of the success of this movie was how intelligent were David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams when it comes to use the absurd humor. And is because that humor is using from a tragic set and serious actings, mocking about the drama, so the impact is funnier because the sensation of scapism is bigger. Many people hate this film and say its humor is silly...but come on, is really clever and witty. Favorite scenes: the dance in the disco, the sordid conversations between Peter Graves and Ross Harris, Robert Hays covered in sweat while landing the plane, Lorna Patterson singing River of Jordan, Ted's flashbacks about the Molombos tribe, the slap-in-a-row scene, and of course all the scenes of Leslie Nielsen and Robert Stack.

Movie is almost a scene-for-scene parody of a 1957 b&w drama called "Zero Hour."

Funny how they laughed hardest at the air israel gag.

This movie was a parody of the airport disaster films which is why there was so much oddity to it (like a literal crap hitting the fan). It wasn't so much a language barrier issue as it was a time period unfamiliarity.

Surely you're not serious? Yes, I am serious. But don't call me Shirley. This quote, perhaps the movie, saved Leslie Nielsen's career (the doctor). He worked with the director again on the "The Naked Gun" trilogy.

"They've got the instruments"! Good heavens... :D

Unfortunately, Airplane has a LOT of jokes that are specific to that era. The co-pilot, Roger, for example was played by an actual NBA athlete named kareem abdul jabbar, which is why he was wearing NBA shorts when they pulled him out. They also made a joke about Kareem Abdul Jabbar at one point in the movie but I don't remember what it was. And the joke about "I haven't felt this bad since I saw that Ronald Reagan film" is of course mocking the movies Reagan made. Lots of other era-specific jokes. And a lot of it was play on words. My favorite part of the whole movie is in that flashback showing how the main characters met each other when it showed that one guy get stabbed in the back and he started trying to point at the knife in his back with his thumbs and the woman thought he was dancing with her. That will always be my favorite moment.

*(The Naked Gun)* is similar slapstick comedy

22:22 The speach Is from The movie Knute Rockne, All American from 1940. Staring Ronald reagan

You guys are so fun to watch, in all your various configurations. I’m amazed and curious as to how several Bulgarians learned English so well. Some of the jokes were due to language/joke differences, and some were cultural and old movie references, but it’s so much fun to watch, isn’t it?

Great reactions. I loved Michelle's imitation of Julie Haggarty. She even did it with an American accent.

You guys should watch Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (1987) it is hilarious!

This movie was a parody of the film "Zero Hour" that came out in 1957.

I picked the wrong day to quit drinking alcohol.

This movie broke the "What the hell" record for the homies!

Airplane is a spoof/satire on disaster movies and is based on, 'Flight into Danger' which in turn is a remake of 'Zero Hour'.

I could see some of you ladies were lost on the humor. Some of the humor is over 45 years old and you won't get it. The part that people don't get is when the plane knocked over the tower that was playing Disco, the DJ said disco will never die, disco was coming to the end in 1980 and that plane knocking over the tower was a symbolization of disco being dead.

Hint : " Good luck. We're all counting on you ".

Another great old school comedy is Cheech and chongs up in smoke,cheech & chongs next movie, Cheech & chongs still smokeing, Cheech & chongs nice dreams
