| “You’ve read the ad, now see the movie!” was the tagline, rooting Airplane! in absolute parody of Hollywood clichés and disaster movies from beginning to end. This was the hugely successful debut of gut-busting trio Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker, who went on to pave a six-lane highway of satire classics including Hot Shots!, Naked Gun, Scary Movie and Top Secret! Strap yourself in for the most ridiculous flight of all time, including food poisoning, jive talkin’, a messy drinking problem, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, troubled romance, war flashbacks, and the inimitable, deadpan Leslie Nielsen as a doctor who insists you don’t call him Shirley. - LG | ||
