Film: Airplane! (1980)

Blu-Ray:


Review: The slapstick spoof comedy classic that started a new genre of it's own. Lots of great word play and sight gags!

"Nervous?"
"Yes."
"First time?"
"No, I've been nervous lots of times.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking... We're regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused, this is due to periodic air pockets we encountered. There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight... By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

"Can you fly this plane, and land it?"
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me Shirley."

"Our only hope is to build this man up. We gotta give him all the confidence we can... Striker, have you ever flown a multi-engine plane before?"
"No, never."
"Shit. It's a God damn waste of time. There's no way he can land this plane."

4 out of 5 Stars
