Airplane!

Last night on Entertainment Tonight they mentioned that David Letterman auditioned for the lead role in this movie.
 
"What kind of plane is it?"

"Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol."
 
Great movie that comes from a time when parodies were good and not just slapping familiar movie scenes together(disaster movie, scary movie)

The whole point of Airplane was that it had serious actors/serious characters playing clueless people.
 
"Johnny, what can you make out of this?"

"This? Well, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl..."
 
Woman: Where is the passenger processing lounge for the lunar shuttle?
Information Agent: Concourse lounge C, fourth level. Next?
Woman #2: How long is my parking permit good for?
Information Agent: Two hours. Next?
Next Man: What's the fastest animal on Earth?
Information Agent: The cheetah. Next?
Woman #3: Should I fake my orgasms?
Information Agent: Yes.
Woman #3: Thank you.
Information Agent: Next?
 
I LOVED Airplane! One of my favorite comedies of all time. No matter what it still gets a laugh out of me and Robert Stack beating up random charity people still slays me. :woot:

Boy: Can I ask you a question?
Ted Striker: What is it?
Boy: It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.
 
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
 
Except for Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and Barbara Billingsley, most of the cast are still alive, I believe.
 
I live with someone who hates this movie because she doesn't like Leslie Neilson. :cmad::cmad::cmad::cmad:
 
Got me the box set a months back still as funny as ever :grin:
 
I'm pretty "meh" to Airplane II, it's pretty much a retread and there's no Leslie N.
 
Yeah, about half of the jokes are repeated in Airplane II, not to mention the plot. It gets kind of annoying.

It just shows how hilarious Airplane is... that the retread of it is still somewhat funny.
 
Elaine: There's an overheat in the core. Please analyze problem.
ROC: There is no apparent overheat.
Elaine: Yes, there is, ROC. We read a core overheat. Repeat analysis.
ROC: Analysis confirmed. All systems compute positive.
Elaine: Well, not from where I'm sitting, they don't!
ROC: Look, Elaine. Cut the "not from where I'm sitting" s**t. It must be a human error.
Elaine: Captain, I think we have a computer foul-up!
Capt. Oveur: I see.
Elaine: Well, what do you recommend, Captain?
Capt. Oveur: Maybe you'd better run it through the computer.
Elaine: But sir, I already have!
Capt. Oveur: Good!
