Gonna start off slowly and just do what I can, and I'll try my best to get back to doing two videos a week but we shall see ❤ Also, if you've watched my videos before, you'll notice in this one that I did a little reformatting with my editing! Let me know what you think. I can only do so much since I'm editing the way I do so I don't get copyright claimed. Hope this is a bit better than before, and I more so hope this works.

To answer your inquiry on who directed this movie, it was David Zucker. He also helmed The Naked Gun, The Naked Gun 2 1/2, BASEketball, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4 and shared directing with Scary Movie 5. He did not direct The Naked Gun 33 1/3. These are just the ones I’ve seen personally. All his entries share the same type of dumbish humor that we all love. BASEketball is the sole entry in these mentions that has an R rating.

Fun Fact: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was offered the role as one of the Co-Pilots(while playing himself) for $30,000, but would only agree to $35,000. He explained that it’s because he wanted to buy a rug that costs exactly $35,000. The producers thought it was just him being funny and agreed to pay him that much. It wouldn’t be until years later that they learned that Kareem ACTUALLY bought a rug for $35,000 after he was paid.

The "jive translator" was played by Barbara Billingsley, who was well known at the time as June Cleaver, the mom from Leave it to Beaver (1957-1963). Much like the other famous stars in this film, it was very unexpected to see her play that role. It also helped re-launch her career, as she appeared in numerous TV shows in the 80s, 90s, and even 2000s.

This has to be one of the best movies ever. Consider how much people still find it funny and, yet, how many jokes got lost in time… 1) Does anyone still recognize JJ Walker? 2) How about Kareem? 3) How about June Cleaver speaking jive? 4) And how about Leslie Neilsen doing comedy? We all know him for that now, but this was his first comedic role. They purposefully cast serious actors (like him, Stack, Graves, Bridges, etc). 5) And the Ethel Merman cameo? 6) Tupperware parties? 7) The inner monologue woman, which is mocking a famous coffee commercial (Folgers, I think)? 8) The religious proselytizing at airports, which used to be a thing back then? 9) Smoking ticket? Most today don’t even realize that planes used to have a smoking section. 10) The radar range gag? Yes, old microwaves used to be called radar ranges. 11) The Mayo Clinic isn’t a dated reference. It still exists. But I think fewer people are aware of it now than we’re then. So, I think that joke goes over the heads of a lot of modern viewers. And I’ve barely scratched the surface here. Most viewers under 50 won’t get half the jokes here… and they STILL find the movie hysterical. Hell, even the green screen foolishness when they’re driving is a dated reference. Yes, it could still be done today, but it’s dated because it was a specific attempt to abuse the technology. Green screen was new at the time. The movie creators intentionally got idiotic with it because it was new. One reference which isn’t dated, but is still missed by most, just because it’s never explained: the two airport announcers arguing over the PA system? They were real LAX airport announcers AND real-life husband and wife. Knowing that makes their exchange just that much funnier. Great movie. Gotta be one of the funniest movies ever. Certainly in the “spoof” form of comedy it’s top five (#1 in my book, far and away… but if you polled the public, gotta be top five). Most people don’t even get half the jokes, and it’s STILL funny.

Most of the gags and jokes are cultural and generational for audiences that grew up in the 70s like me. When most commentors have to explain them, that tells you right there that they are so dated and old, these young reactors can't relate even with the explanations. She still laughed and had a great time. I don't think she was asking for deep analysis or confusing history of where the jokes came from. Face value reactions are funny just as they are like in this case. I've seen this move at least 100x, but I was enjoying watching our reactor laugh and have a good time.

There's quite a few very contemporary jokes that can be hard to understand now. -Airports at the time were notorious for religious pitchmen hanging around trying to recruit the people passing through. The most hated of all were the Hare Krishnas, hence the joke where they're actually the ones being bothered by these people and brush them off with "I gave at the office." Kramer beating them all up was quite cathartic for a lot of people. -"Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home" was a line from a popular set of coffee ads at the time, featuring the same actress in the film. -Airplanes did indeed have smoking sections at the time, which didn't last much longer with the '80s really ramping up anti-smoking efforts and reduction of second-hand smoke. -The "I say let 'em crash" guy is a reference to a popular news segment called Point/Counterpoint where conservative and liberal pundits would argue about some current event. It was also famously being spoofed at the time by Saturday Night Live with Jane Curtin as the liberal and Dan Aykroyd as the conservative, who would always start his argument with "Jane, you ignorant slut!", the show's first big catchphrase. -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was at this exact time, before the arrival of his teammate Magic Johnson, the most famous and beloved player in basketball, and his breaking character is a spoof of a trend at the time of movies stunt-casting non-actors who were famous in some other field, most often sports. When he's dragged out of the cockpit he's wearing his game gear apart from his shirt, with the implication that the scene is being filmed just moments before he had to leave for a game.

Excellent list! Let me just add a couple things... the 70's were rife with disaster movies. Some were outstanding (like Airport, Jaws, The Poseidon Adventure) and others were just plain awful. The genre was perfect for spoofing by the early 80's. Also, the four side characters of the pilot, the doctor, the airport director, and the commander who talked the plane down were all played by well-known actors who were known for doing deadly serious roles. To see them deadpan their way through a silly movie like this was comedy gold!! Oh, and the horse in the bed was a skewed reference to the Godfather where the horse (well part of him) was found in the bed.

I saw this when it came out when I was 9. The couple doing the announcements apparently worked at LAX doing them and were a couple in real life. The lady surprised by her husband having a second cup of coffee was a reference to a famous 70’s coffee commercial where wives were always shocked when their husbands wanted a second cup when they were at a friends house or restaurant. The questions that the captain asked Joey about gladiators and a Turkish prison were referencing the movies Spartacus and midnight express which both had homoerotic themes. Congrats on getting the taxi fare correct, I have seen other reactors say 11330 dollars?! The scene with the old lady speaking Jive was funny because she was famous for playing the mom in the 1950’s sitcom leave it to beaver which was known for being very wholesome. The actor who played the silly airport employee who said Leon is getting larger sadly died from aids in 86.

The jive translator was played by Barbara Billingsley, who played the mom on Leave It to Beaver, a saccharine sitcom from the late fifties through the early sixties. That makes it doubly funny for boomers. There's a post-credits scene where the guy is still waiting in the taxi for Ted to come back.

They went all out on this, with all sorts of references to current movies and ads at the time, going to the trouble to get the real actors to spoof themselves. The beach scene is an iconic one from the movie, from Here to Eternity, with the incoming waves washing over the embracing couple. (Also spoofed in Shrek 2). The two people fighting over the PA system about which loading zone was which were the real married couple whose distinctive voices over the PA system of LAX where familiar to frequent flyers. There was a commercial at the time of a woman who was at a restaurant with her husband. He accepted a second cup of coffee, and in the woman's mind, she thought to herself "Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home," the idea being her coffee, not being Yuban coffee, was not as good. They got the actual woman to repeat her role her, along with the following "Jim never throws up at home." One of my favorite jokes was the two business men speaking "jive" (which the directors told them to just make up as they went along). But the woman who translated was Barbara Billingsley, who was the mother in the tv series Leave It To Beaver. She represented the idyllic modern ideal of life in the vanilla suburbia. Her only goal in life (as she was portrayed) to be content to just keep the house clean and have dinner on the table for her husband and sons, always dressed up in high heels and a string of pearls. The feminist movement was just developing and they rebelled against this limited role she represented for women. So for her to appear in movie as translating jive was so totally out of character to the point of being shocking. (She later admitted she had a ball doing this in the movie.)

@@dunhill1That makes sense of course, as there really was such a way of talking. I also found out that not only was it sort of a very strong Southern accent but also much of it dates back to slavery, where they devised ways to speak to each other that couldn't be understood by their masters. I have a feeling, too, that this might have been among the first time the media showed two black obviously successful businessmen by themselves, instead of one or two as tokens in a larger group. It is hard to think that would be groundbreaking this late, but for instance, part of the Fresh Prince of Belaire and the Jeffersons was they broke some new ground by having middle-class black families. There was a Dick Van Dyke episode from the '60's where he and Laura remember when their son was born and Rob begins to think the hospital made a mistake - and gave them the wrong baby, from the similar name of Peters (not Petrie). The episode ends by this other couple showing up at the front door and they turn out to be black, and presented as a middle-class couple. At the time it took every bit of convincing to let the network do this - and turns out it was warmly greeted by the studio audience after getting one of the longest laughs and applause of any of their episodes. Shortly after this, the networks tentatively presented Julia, a sitcom of a Mary Tyler Moore type of individual successful single woman, played by Diane Carroll. Wasn't allowed to be too funny and was short-lived. And btw, love the coffee black joke in Airplane.

Fun Fact on the Saturday Night Fever spoof: While he was doing Airplane, actor Robert Hays (Ted Striker) was also doing a short lived sitcom called Angie and his Angie Co-Star Donna Pescow was in Saturday Night Fever. There is a sequel to Airplane called Airplane 2: The Sequel which is also worth a look just to see William Shatner steal the show.

The older male actors, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, and Robert Stack were all known up til then as dramatic actors, so this movie reinvigorated their careers. Up until then, they weren't getting as much work in films and this movie single-handedly gave them all another 2 decades of excellent work. Lloyd Bridges and Leslie Nielsen starred in a bunch of wacky parody movies like "Hot Shots" and "Naked Gun." Both Robert Stack and Peter Graves became successful as television hosts for "Unsolved Mysteries" and "A&E Biography." All of them loved being able to spoof their previous stoic typecasting and be part of silliness. Steven Stucker (Johnny) was one of the first public figures to openly admit that he was gay and had AIDS in 1984, way before Rock Hudson admitted to being sick. He died in 1986 at 38 years old.

It’s so good to have you back! This film was directed by the team of Jim Abrahams, and brothers David & Jerry Zucker (collectively known as Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, or ZAZ), and they wrote Airplane! while they were performing with the Kentucky Fried Theatre, a theatre group they founded in 1971. To obtain material for comedy routines, they routinely recorded late night television and reviewed the tapes later primarily to pull the commercials, a process Abrahams compared to "seining for fish". During one such taping process, they unintentionally recorded the 1957 film Zero Hour!, and while scanning the commercials, found it to be a "perfectly classically structured film" according to Jerry Zucker. Abrahams later described Zero Hour! as "the serious version of Airplane!". It was the first film script they wrote, completed around 1975, and was originally called The Late Show. The script originally stayed close to the dialog and plot of Zero Hour!, as ZAZ thought they did not have a sufficient understanding of film at the time to structure a proper script. ZAZ's script borrowed so much from Zero Hour! that they believed they needed to negotiate the rights to create the remake of the film and ensure they remain within the allowance for parody within copyright law. They were able to obtain the rights from Warner Bros. and Paramount for about $2,500 at the time. The original script contained spoofs of television commercials but people who proofread it advised them to shorten the commercials, and they eventually removed them. When their script was finished, they were unable to sell it. While failing to sell their script, the trio met director John Landis, who encouraged them to write a film based on their theatre sketches. They managed to put The Kentucky Fried Movie into production in the late 1970s. David Zucker said "it was the first time we had ever been on a movie set. We learned a lot. We learned that if you really wanted a movie to come out the way you wanted it to, you had to direct. So on the next movie, Airplane!, we insisted on directing". Eventually the Airplane! script found its way to Paramount through Michael Eisner. Eisner learned of the script via Susan Baerwald, another scriptwriter with United Artists, and had Jeffrey Katzenberg track down and meet with ZAZ to discuss details. Avco Embassy Pictures also expressed interest in producing the film, but ZAZ decided to go with Paramount. Paramount insisted the film be shot in color rather than black-and-white as ZAZ wanted, and to be set aboard a jet airliner rather than propeller plane to better identify with modern filmgoers. In exchange, Paramount acquiesced to ZAZ's desire to cast serious actors for the film rather than comedy performers. Principal photography began on June 20, 1979, and wrapped on August 31, with the bulk of filming having been done in August. Jerry Zucker stood beside the camera during shooting, while David Zucker and Jim Abrahams watched the video feed to see how the film would look; they conferred after each take.

An additional fact: ZAZ all make appearances in the film: David and Jerry are the two airport ground workers: "Hey, Larry, where's the forklift?" "Forklift? It's over there, by the baggage loader." Jim Abrahams is the guy who gets knocked over on the bicycle (via rear-projection) while Captain Kramer is driving to the airport, and then yells, "Asshole!" at the reckless driver.

I saw Kentucky Fried Movie co-featured with Animal House at the drive-in, with a couple of besties and one of the bestie’s mom (we didn’t drive yet), back in 1979. We had no context/knowledge of ZAZ, and hadn’t read any reviews. In today’s parlance, we were blind reactors! But we laughed and laughed, felt a little naughty (and probably embarrassed to be with a mom). But the next year we went to see Airplane! (By then someone was driving and had access to a car), and we all loved it! Not every single joke landed, but 95% of it did. Airplane! was groundbreaking and paved the way for all the Naked Gun movies and Police Squad TV series - it revitalized Leslie Nielsen’s career and made him a household name. You can tell the ZAZ team really loved movies, and I love that.

I've loved this movie for so many reasons, not the least of which was it launched Leslie Nielsen's comedy career. Johnny was always my favourite character. I strongly suggest you also watch Hot Shots Parts one and two, I can virtually guarantee you'll love it. Lloyd Bridges is in both and is an absolute crack up. I had seen this movie dozens of time over the years, and it wasn't until a couple of years ago I even notice the jars of mayonnaise in the background. Good on you for recognizing the need to take a break; material and financial health means nothing if your mental health is suffering. Hope you're in a better place now.

@@OGBReacts You got more than most people, so you can be glad & proud of that. I don't know if it's possible for any human to get ALL the jokes & references in the film - both because the culture has moved on from the contemporary-to-the-era references of 43 years ago, and also because the film is so packed with jokes that you barely have time to process one, before the next rapid-fire batch arrive. There are also a few instances of 'joke-layers' in the film, so much so that one honestly doesn't know whether the filmmakers intended the 'deeper layers' as jokes or not. For instance: The two African-American Jive talkers: •Layer One: What if black dialect really were a completely separate language - so impossible to understand that one needed subtitles, translators, etc. •Layer Two: The subtitles are intentionally bad, with the translation missing about 90 percent of the nuance of the original. •Layer Three: Could the intentionally-bad subtitles be a shot at modern (at the time) American movies that had subtitles? As in: the actual, translation was routinely thought to be 'too much' for 1970s mainstream American audiences to accept, therefore the film companies (or perhaps the MPAA or censor board) insisted that subtitles be dumbed-down, to be less risque and more 'acceptable'?

When it comes to Hollywood comedies, it's hard to get any nuttier than the Zucker brothers. They did their best work with their writing partner Jim Abrahams. Apart from "Airplane", their most famous film is "The Naked Gun" which also features Leslie Nielsen. Their most offensive film is their first one, "Kentucky Fried Movie". But their greatest achievement in just being all-around deranged is underrated "Top Secret" which was the acting debut of Val Kilmer. Ironically, they had no involvement with the sequel "Airplane II" and if you ever have the misfortune of seeing that sequel, you might agree the absence of the Zuckers is clear from start to finish.

The man and woman over the loudspeakers in the airport were the actual airport announcers at LAX and were also a married couple. The man in the cab was not an actor. He was a well-known businessman from California who lobbied heavily to reign in government spending in California. It’s obscure, and you’d have to have been from California at that time to even know who he was, but the joke is that he just sits there allowing the tab to keep going up without doing anything. The black guys speaking jive, which they wrote themselves, was all a setup for the punchline of the older white woman speaking it as well and back to them. The actress was Barbara Billingsley. She played June Cleaver in the 1950’s TV show Leave It To Beaver and was the epitome of a white middleclass mother and housewife of that era. The woman who thinks to herself that her husband never has a second cup of coffee at home was an actress who did national coffee commercials - I think for Folgers - and that was always her catchphrase. Peter Graves (pilot), Leslie Neilson (doctor), Lloyd Bridges (air traffic controller) and Robert Stack (pilot in tower) were very famous and legendary dramatic actors who had done little to no comedy. Casting them in this movie and having them say and do such ridiculous things was SO out of character for them. That is what made it so funny. Peter Graves was the main character in the original TV series Mission Impossible, which the Tom Cruise movies are based on. There is a reference to it in Airplane!2. Lloyd Bridges sons, actors Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges, begged him to do this movie so they could laugh at him. It led to many more comedy roles for all of them. Lloyd Bridges was also in a couple of episodes of Seinfeld toward the end of his life. Ethel Merman was a very famous and successful actress, singer and Broadway star. Yes, that was her in the hospital flashback basically playing herself. The song she sings was one of her trademarks. I’m not sure, but the horse in bed with the pilot’s wife might be a reference to The God Father. The ridiculous images in the background while Robert Stack is driving to the airport is making fun of the bad special effects used up till around that time whenever people are driving.
