The public used to be allowed all the way up to the gates. You just weren't allowed to board without a boarding pass. Depending on the airport, you would either need to pass through the metal detector when you first entered the airport or at the gate to board the plane.

It wasn't because of this film, that's a common myth. The rule (which not all airlines have) was only implemented after a real life incident on Overseas National Airline in 1982 when the pilot, copilot, and 8 other crew members ate contaminated tapioca pudding. Some new articles at the time mentioned the similarity to Airplane!, but it had come out a couple of years earlier and wasn't the reason for the rules.

​@@sumnerhayes3411 There was an incident in 1975 on a Japan Air Lines charter flight which was in some ways even scarier. Contaminated in-flight meals led to 197 people getting food poisoning (out of 364 people on the aircraft). Of those affected, 144 were hospitalized, 30 of them in critical condition; all eventually recovered. The pilots had requested non-standard meals (dinner instead of breakfast). If they had eaten the standard meal, they would quite likely have received contaminated food, with a very real risk they would be incapacitated. As a result, the investigation report recommended that cockpit crew meals should be from separate sources, to prevent a single bad source from affecting multiple crew members. I'm somewhat surprised that there were airlines that still hadn't adopted this practice at the time of the 1982 incident.

Kacee's reaction to Barbara Billingsley (AKA Leave it to Beaver's mom June Cleaver) diving into jive talk: priceless!

This is a myth, albeit a commonly believed one. First, not all airlines have a rule like that. Second, nobody had such a rule even for several years after the movie came out. The first rules about diversity of eating were implemented in 1984, in response to a real-life incident where both pilots and several crew members got sick after eating contaminated tapioca pudding-Airplane! had definitely kind of predicted that possibility, but it wasn't the reason some airlines made such rules. The New York Times reported: “10 crew members of an Overseas National Airways DC- 8 became ill about 35 minutes out of Boston on a flight from Lisbon.'The crew all eat different things, but the one thing they had in common was tapioca pudding.'...It's clearly time for all airlines to require pilots and co-pilots to avoid any shared food before and during flights before a catastrophe occurs.” in a March 27, 1984 article on the subject. Google "THE DOCTOR'S WORLD; ARE PILOTS PROTECTED FROM CONTAMINATED FOOD?" for the full article. It wasn't until a few months after that incident that some airlines introduced rules about diversity of eating, and the ones that did cited that incident specifically.

Fun fact: before 9/11, anyone could go right up to the gate to see their family and friends off (or meet them when they land), as long as they went through the security screening. This was generally a metal detector and maybe a pat-down for people who were acting suspicious. You didn't have to have a ticket, everyone went through the same screening process whether they were flying or not. In fact, it was usually faster for family and friends to get through because they didn't have bags that needed to be checked.

Airplane, Blazing Saddles, The Blues Brothers…. It doesn’t get much better than those back in the day.

What was even funnier at the time this film came out is that there were many serious actors in an out of character comedic role who people would have known quite well The woman talking jive was from an all white series called "Leave It To Beaver". The woman who's husband has two coffees was in a coffee commercial and her lines where almost directly from the commercial. They parodied Saturday Night Fever and From Here To eternity (the beach scene) amongst many others. ALSO if you liked Naked Gun, you should watch Police Squad (6 episode series that became Naked Gun).

In the scene where the dog is attacking the guy who came to pick up the other guy, I love the mirror gag. I don't think ANYONE ever spots it, usually they are too distracted by the dog. Go ahead and check that scene again. If you can't see what the mirror gag is, come back here and I'll let you in on it.

After the 1988 lockeby bombing they also added security checks for check in bags. And post 2001 they phased in more general security measures.

A lot of movies in the 70's and 80's are rated weird. See the movie "Gator Bait" and it's sequels for example. Some movies like "Scarface" were given a Rated X for violence. My parents rented the movie "18 Again" because it was rated PG, and there was full frontal nudity. Good times.

" Surely You Can't Be Serious ? " - I Am Serious , And Don't Call Me Shirley !! " 🤣

I remember "The captain has turned off the no smoking sign" announcement on the plane, followed by half the passengers - or more - immediately lighting up to get their nicotine fix. I never smoked myself, but between my paretns and public places, I might as well have. Wow, I feel old.

Elane only did what she did for the safety of the flight. And she followed the instructions accurately.

Keep in mind, Airplane! came out in 1980. The MPAA wouldn't introduce the PG-13 rating until 1984 The boombox is from Say Anything

The movie has boobs in it, it would be rated R today.

Right. They had to pick R, PG, or G. When you're faced with either R or PG, you're going to end up with some nudity and things like that in PG movies to avoid giving everything an R.

The ratings board was more open to what they let pass in the 1970’s. They began to crack down in the 1980’s.

I'm pretty sure PG13 wasn't created until after the second Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom. Mothers freaked out with that ripping the heart out scene.

Love the reaction to her own snorting, 😂❤ just beautiful.

The joke(s) of the pilot asking the boy different questions wasnt in the script originally. They were added after the actor told a story about an incident that happened to me. He was at the grocery store and waiting in line to the cashier behind a mother and her son. The boy kept staring at him and he started to wonder why. He'd just been in a few gladiator movies that had done fairly well, so he assumed that the boy probably recognized him from those. And then he asked "Do you like gladiator movies?" from the kid, and the mom shot him a look that could kill. He only realized after that how bad it must have sounded. And that's how those jokes got into the movie.

Great reaction Dos Cavazos! Peter Graves; the actor who portrayed the main pilot, Clarence, who also used to be the narrator of A& E Biography, was uncomfortable saying that line; "you ever seen a grown man naked." I believe due to him never really portraying a role like that before. Not knowing how the viewing public would react to it. A character who was found of children. It was a crazy line that I'm sure caught the audience off guard when the film was released in 1980. Just a behind the scenes fact about the film.

Peter Graves from Mission Impossible, Lloyd Bridges (the tower supervisor) from Sea Hunt, Robert Stack (Captain Stryker) from The Untouchables, and Leslie Nielsen were all established dramatic actors who were not known as comedic actors. We were absolutely caught off guard. This was one of the many things about this movie that made it the masterpiece it is.

This is almost a shot-for-shot remake of a 1950s film that was totally serious. I saw that before seeing this film, which affected my understanding of the film. Also, The Mayo Clinic is a real place that was famous for heart transplants in the days when they were just starting. I'd heard of it in Sydney Australia, so the assumption that the audience would recognize the name was reasonable.

I love the way they shout OMG at Air Israel joke at the same time! Very funny

This movie takes me back to my younger days, to what America was like Before The Fun Stopped.

it makes me feel good to see this younger generation enjoy real comedy without getting upset

No one gets upset my dude, people just like to act victim and go - oh if this was today, they would be cancelled, oh they would never try it today, which is complete bullshit. Shows like South Park and Its always sunny go way way beyond this and are still going strong. Borat just came out last year All this claim of - oh this would get cancelled today, oh no would dare to do this today - is plain attention seeking

The best joke is always missed. When they show the plane from the outside it is a jet but it sounds like a propeller plane. I laugh every time.

In 2010, for the 30th anniversary of this movie, I rented a DVD from Hollywood Video (that was still a thing back then) to show to our children. They were familiar with the actor Peter Graves from the old TV series "Mission Impossible," which I had been showing them. When I rented it from the store, the young clerk said, "That is a *funny* movie!" I replied, "Yes, I saw it in the theatre when it first came out." He responded, "Really? That movie came out a *long* time ago!" That made me feel old.

"There's Something About Mary" was one of the funniest films of all-time.

I just want to tell you both good luck we're all counting you.

The stunning thing about this movie is that about half of the jokes require general knowledge as well as knowledge of government, TV shows and commercials, movies and sport of the time and even with that in mind it is almost continuous throw away one liners from start to end.

Waching Kacee work through the implications of "the horse" was the most amazing comedy reaction I think I've ever seen. :)

This reaction episode was sooo fun! I have never seen Kz laugh so much! 😂😂😂
