What makes this even funnier for those who are old enough is all the big name actors who were in this. Seeing serious actors in these roles makes the roles even funnier.

Time for the Naked Gun series if you want more of this.

@@NovelReactions there first was a mini series "Police Squad _(in color)"_ from 1982 with 6x30 minutes, which had jokes just like Airplane! and the Naked Gun movies (1988, 1991, 1994) were its continuation. Leslie Nielsen surely was (like all the other actors in Airplane!) a serious actor for 25 years, but after that success he did all these funny/silly movies for another 30 years and many people don't know his old career (eg the scifi movie Forbidden Planet (1956) which would be another recommendation!). And don't call him Shirley.

the passenger with the bomb is Sonny Bono, of Sonny & Cher, later US Representative for California - died in a skiing accident in 1998

I've heard of Sonny and Cher and naturally have heard a few of their songs. Had no idea that was Sunny though, interesting :)

A couple of points of interest: The bomb guy's briefcase has stickers from Hiroshima, Nagasaki , Pearl Harbor and Dresden - places that are famous for bombings. The pilot is played by Peter Graves who starred in the "Mission Impossible" TV series (which was made long before the movies). That's the joke when the "Mission Impossible" theme is played when the computer gasses him. The computer is a parody of the computer HAL 9000 from "2001: a Space Odyssey". "What are you doing, Dave?" is one of its famous lines.

The sequence where the captain is gassed is reminiscent of the tv series mission impossible when Peter Graves was running the team. A lot of people don’t recall.

"I'm sorry, I don't do impressions. My training is in psychiatry." Is one of my favorite jokes of all time!😂

The segment where the black flight controller handed over a "Hot" document was where I chuckled.

The "Little Breather" was Hervé Villechaize, who played Tattoo on "Fantasy Island."

They made a third movie called Top Secret starring Val Kilmer, not an Airplane sequel but similar in humor.

Loved that one!

Underrated, but they do basicly repeat 70% of the jokes from the original. Unfortunately the writers/producers of the original weren't involved. They went on to do Top Secret! Val Kilmer's first movie. If you liked Shatner here, check out Loaded Weapon 1, the most underappreciated spoof with a hell of a cast.

Yeah I just got caught up in the excitement haha 😂 didn't even think of the year.

This wasnt made by the Zucker / Abrahms team that made the previous film or the Naked Gun / Hot Shots series (as well as The Kentucky Fried Movie). In fact they disowned it... as the studio decided to make it without them. At the time they were making the TV show that birthed the Naked Gun series, POLICE SQUAD! (Exclaimation point is in the title) with Leslie Neilsen.. which is why hes not in this one. That show is amazing, but too much for tv.. too many jokes.. the audience wasnt ready and the execs didnt get it.. it was cancelled after 6 episodes, but becamee a big hit for video rental.. so a few years later, they made a movie sequel to the series.

Naked Gun is definitely on my list, will hopefully get to it sometime soon but have a few others a little higher up.

I don't think there's any beating the first Airplane, but this movie does do an admirable job of continuing the line of humor, and I think it hits much more than misses. I think my favorite bits when I was a kid were the physical humor bits like the little girl running up to her grandmother and pushing the other old lady out of the way and the "Striker" vs. "Strike her" bit. And watching it now, I'm amazed at the brazen jokes about the priest.

Because I saw this movie first and in theaters, I will always prefer it to the first. Of course, its recycles a lot of gags from the first and it got its own stupidity. I was like 5 o6 years old and I still remember laughing my ass off when he passed the guy singing The Love Boat.

These older comedies setup their jokes overt and subtle in such a manner that they flow smoothly into the setting they're in like they're a part of it no matter how absurd. Kudos to the writers for writing such wonderful laughs-inducing scenes which I guess isn't easy.

Honestly I'd kill to be a fly on the wall of that writer's room. Takes quite the skill and understanding of the written word.

On Star Trek every time they go through a door ot makes that swish sound. So in thus film every time they want to go through the door the person makes the swish sound. Also that prop that with the red fluorescent lights would later make severel appearances on Star Trek TNG. In engine rooms and alien labs. Every time I watch that show I always look for it.

I didn't catch the door sound being the same sound as the doors on Trek but will definitely think of that when I'm rewatching an episode of TNG lol.

Good reaction, and well done for doing this one! So few reactors watch this sequel and that's a shame as I like this almost as much (although of course it recycles a lot of the original's gags). It helps to have seen some sci-fi classics like 2001:A Space Odyssey, to get some of the references though, like the computer with attitude and the two crewmen floating in space while Striker listens to his headphones...

Peter Graves was in the original mission impossible that was the music that was played when the gas was through the vent , the passenger with the bomb was Sony who teamed up with Cher on the Sony and Cher show who became US Representative for California before he was killed hitting a tree skying, the judge was Raymond Burr who played a lawyer in a wheel chair in iron side tv show the music when they went to wop was off the tv show called Battlestar Galactica so many little things to catch

@@NovelReactions Just to clarify for you: This movie used music from the *original* Battlestar Galactica, which ran for one season in 1978. The show you've heard great things about is no doubt the *reimagined* Battlestar Galactica, which started with a miniseries in 2003 and then ran for four full seasons, from 2004 to 2009, and is one of the best TV series ever made, IMHO.

If you want something similar, but not on that level, give 'The Big Bus' (1976) a try. Let's be honest, no one is on the level of the Abraham's, Zucker, Zucker team.

i always call them "the great ZAZ" :-) and i include this movie since they created the style as a base that was also used for this movie, just like "Charade" is _the best Hitchcock movie that was not made by Hitchcock_ :-) as i read in some other comment (thus only secondhand knowledge), they had a cameo in the first movie as ground staff who made the plane crash through the window, and the colorful makeup lady might have been their mother. and yes, the bus could be seen as an early prequel that is not yet of this quality, but already quite stupidly funny too, and it would fit in the series which therefore all had almost identical titles in germany "Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Bus/Flugzeug/Raumschiff" (The Incredible Journey in a Crazy Bus/Airplane/Spaceship)

12:45 That old lady IS the same actress from the first film! I never even noticed since I've never seen these films back to back. In the first film, the old lady hung herself after listening to Ted Stryker's story.
