How We Made: Airplane!
We used to seek out movies that were mind-numbingly serious and dub them with our own voices. Late one night, we caught Zero Hour! – a 1957 film about a former world war two pilot landing a stricken passenger flight – and thought: “Why don’t we recreate this whole movie instead?” (www.theguardian.com) Más...I hadn't been aware of "Zero Hour!" before I caught it one night on the tube. Sat there realizing how hard it must have been for "Airplane!" to actually add more schlock to the story line. Great stuff!
Still funny. Saw it when it first came out and still laugh when I see it.
I will never forget seeing it on opening night. The next day Gene Shalit was reviewing the movie on the TODAY show. He said, "They say this movie has a laugh a minute. We'll they're wrong." I thought did he see the same movie i saw? Then he said, "It has a laugh every 30 seconds!" I think the laughs are even closer than that! Gotta love Roger Murdoch "Huh?"
I picked the wrong day to give up sniffing glue. The best of the best right up there with Blazing Saddles.
