"What can you make of this?" "This? Well I could make a hat, or a brooch,

[Bouncy Ball]

or a pterodactyl!"

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines."

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

1. Did you see the DVD TV version of Airplane tonight?

:rofl:

[Bouncy Ball]

3. GOD I was DYING.

I forgot how much I love that movie.

And you know, I think I was catching jokes I didn't catch when I saw it years ago.

[GOPisEvil]

5. When I found out that they based it on a real movie, that made it funnier!

Can you imagine the stuff they came up with that didn't make it into the movie?

[Bouncy Ball]

12. I've seen the movie they based it on.

Husband made me watch it one time, he loves it AND Airplane!

Yeah, I want a fucking bloopers reel from the making of Airplane!

[Doctor_J]

20. All the Airport movies

were really bad - until after Airplane! came out. Then the dramas became pretty funny, IMO

[GOPisEvil]

24. It was also very much based on a movie called Zero Hour!

In fact the whole story arc of Airplane is lifted from that movie. The Zuckers and Abraham went to far as to buy the rights to Zero Hour! to cover themselves.

10. Wait...did they show

the shit hitting the fan? Did the little girl say "like my men"?

[Wickerman]

2. 25 years ago this weekend, if you can believe it.

yikes!

[Ekirh]

4. This Fog is getting thicker...

And Leon is getting LARRRGGGEERRRRR

Been awhile since I last watch so forgive me if I misquoted that.

[Bouncy Ball]

8. Actually you got it exactly right.

:thumbsup:

[Ekirh]

13. Alright

I'm a horrible movie quoter.. so that brightens me up a bit :).

[El Fuego]

6. "There's a sale at Penney's!"

I was watching that too!!!

:rofl:

[giant_robot]

7. A military buddy of mine said that the movie "Airplane!" changed...

...his life. That's right, Airplane! It coulda been "Schindler's List", in coulda been "Ghandi", but no, "Airplane!" changed his life. I didn't have a lot of deep conversations with this guy, but I must admit, he was funny as all hell!

[Bouncy Ball]

9. ....

Ted Striker: It's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell-shock. Thinks he's Ethel Merman.

Lieutenant Hurwitz: You'll be swell, you'll be great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Startin' here, startin' now. Honey, everything's comin' up roses...

Ted Striker: War is hell.

[Zuni]

11. one of the all time funniest films ever made

:rofl:

I laugh just thinking about it

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Here's a link to some goofs in the movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/goofs

[Doctor_J]

16. How can you tell the goofs from the real film?

For instance, one of the goofs says the fuselage is a 707, the flight deck a DC-8. But the NOISE FROM THE ENGINES IS CLEARLY PROPELLERS. How do you know which are planned?

:shrug:

[Bouncy Ball]

17. I was thinking that as I was reading the goofs.

For people who would get it, it seems like it would be a GREAT joke.

[Lady Effingbroke]

15. "The tower? Rapunzel! Rapunzel!"

:D

[Doctor_J]

18. "I'm gonna have to build up his confidence"

"Ted - have you ever flown a multi-engine plane before?"
Ted: No
Kramer: "Shit, what a goddamned waste of time. Let's route him into Lake Michigan and save some innocent lives"

god, I love that movie

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

19. Don't start with that 'white zone' shit!

[Bouncy Ball]

21. Ok I won't.

Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.

Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.

Male announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a white zone.

Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading. Now, there is no stopping in a RED zone.

Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading.

Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for unloading.

Male announcer: Look Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

Male announcer: There's just no stopping in a white zone.

Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Male announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.

[GOPisEvil]

25. I think its cool they got the real announcers to record that bit!

:rofl:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

22. Best running gag.

It the shots of the jet plane flying, and the soundtrack being a prop engine.

[GOPisEvil]

27. The directors wanted to set the movie on a '50s prop plane.

But Michael Eisner, who ran Paramount, wanted a jet to be the setting. Compromise! :thumbsup:

[CrownPrinceBandar]

23. "What kind of plane is it?..............."

"Johnny : Oh its a big pretty white plane with red stripes,
curtains in the window and wheels. It looks like
a big tylenol."

[usedtobesick]

26. The best scene is

the flash back to the Cockpit after you see the woman trying to blow up the Autopilot and they are both smiling and smoking a cigarette.

[Ikonoklast]

28. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (co-pilot Roger Murdoch)

grabs that little boy in the cockpit after being told that he was lazy on defense, I still blow snot out my nose!

[usedtobesick]

29. the line up of people

trying to shut up the screaming lady.
