I am usually not the guy to praise practical effects over CGI, but here everything is more or less real. Only a few front-projection shots stand out negatively.

​@@magnum3.14 same as airport 1979 .. very little projection. Seemed like it was all real aerial shots. Lol

The 747 photography in this film is gorgeous. A love letter to the plane.

@@roquefortfiles Indeed! 👍 ✈️ 👌

Audio of the 747 is just as good as video of it. Like the look of the silver livery, just the original Airport

I thought the same. I think they parodied this one more than any of the other airport disaster movies!

I used to believe Airplane! was a parody of these movies. But it was in some instances a literal copy of Zero Hour from 1957.

@@Elementalism - They actually bought all of the copyrights for the film Zero Hour so they could actually use dialogue directly from that movie.

Except for Gloria Swanson trying to take her carry on bag with her off the plane

True but what was the point of an evacuation down the slides at that point? What was the urgent danger? Odds are that will cause injuries. Could have waited for stairs to deplane normally.

Unlike Airplane they weren’t out of coffee so no one panicked 😂

AP 75 is a classic. Apparently it has a cult following. Being a kid obsessed with the 747 this was 2 hours of aircraft porn. Beautiful aerial photography

Does Mr. Gashden have a pilot's licence? A Flight Engineer's would be useful. Ground Engineer's licence for that matter: if Mr. Patroni were on board, he would have flying duty instead of the Purser...

the best one by far The previous one was ok but the two following ones were awful Airport79 was horrible

@@MrRaulstrnad What, you didn't like George Kennedy shooting a flare out of the cockpit window of a Concorde?😃

I completely agree with you. When I saw this film in 74 and the opening shot came up with it majestically entering the frame and slowly revealing itself i sighed. Isn't she beautiful. I LOVE the opening shot of this film.

When the emergency equipment was coming out I was waiting to see the Budweiser truck and cement mixer go by.

its not ugly but 747 is way better

I flew in one in 1972. It was one of the first one's Pan Am purchased. And the service on board by the Pan Am stewardesses was top notch. When air travel meant class.

Because it was it's because it's a 747 that's where the seats are so big

It was also reused in the short lived TV series "Voyagers!" from 1982, the episode "All Falling Down. I always wondered how they filmed such a scene for a TV show in 1982, then realized it was stock footage a lot of Universal shows used from this Airport movie.

Yes because Universal is a cheap company. They produced both Hulk and AP75.

George also rode the ambulance in the Dirty Dozen.

@@scott658 He went from chief mechanic to Captain in 4 films. Quite the promotion. I preferred him as mechanic Patroni. Captain was too white collar for him

If you're a plane nut like me this is 2 hours of aircraft porn. Some of the best aerial footage ever shot. The plane photography in this film wastes Airport.

Ma’am you bet that is gorgeous the 747 is the best of the best GORGEOUS AIRPLANE ✈️. Beautiful scenery flying through the Wasatch mountain range, during filming. My favorite airplane movie of all time. Absolutely I 💯 % agree with you, many blessings. Kudos from Alaska 🌹💐😍

Thats why they named her the Queen of the skies. She truly is the 747's are supposed to be out of service but I see them coming in and going out on a regular basis as Cargo haulers There will never be another like her

@@dodgeking9194 EXACTLY 🥰, I wish they still kept her on going. The Dreamliner is beautiful cargo 747 🥰😘. Kudos from Alaska 🌹💐

Well, not only THIS one but Airplane was actually a parody on all FOUR of the "Airport" movies.

Airplane was almost a shot by shot remake of a fifties Canadian drama film-guess how overblown that original film was if the remake utilizing almost the same dialogue, storyline and shooting order is now considered one of the greatest comedy films of all time@@retroguy9494

Lol, Jeff!! 😃✈✈

Just what the pilots need to hear while their in mid-flight. A flight attendant fantasizing about the entire crew being killed or incapacitated so he can fly the plane.

I was talking to Erik Estrada one day. Told him he was great in Airport 75 right up till they killed him.

This movie is 5 years older then myself, and although the collision was a bit unrealistic the sad truth is a 747 was lost in a airborne collision over india when it was hit by an iL-76 transport aircraft in 1996 unfortunately no one survived to make an emergancy landing. This was the 2nd most deadliest crash after teneriffe when 2 747's collided on the runway killing over 600 passengers and crew.

He should have stuck with a four-horse chariot.

yah, but remember he parted the Red Sea.

You bet it was, I loved 🥰 it from day one to now 🌹💐😍❤️, the beautiful scenery filming through the Wasatch mountain 🏔 range to Salt Lake. Lucky pilots who flew the beautiful 747 through the mountain 🏔 range. Nothing on Earth 🌍 can surpass the 747. One of a Dammmmm kind.😘. Kudos from Alaska 💐🌹

@@alaskanactressp30 Agreed 💯 percent!!!!!

The 747 is beautiful. the A380 and 777 are chicks with fat ankles.

The camera is kept on the portside after the collision. The physical discrepancy is the starboard wing: it is undamaged, along with Engine #Tree. The reel - cheque the spelling - is the altitude; collision at 10,000 feet, starting their descent with a 13,000 foot peak ahead, the private pilot being told that the 747 is in front as opposed to vice versa, Nancy climbing from 9,000 without getting above 10,000, herself turning left whilst Salt Lake City is evidently to the right, the oxygen masks not operating when they pass 11,000. I will assume that the Producers did not employ a Continuity Person. Still and all, do not let facts get in the way of a Good Story... Happy Landings...

I don't think Jerry Stiller was awake at any time on the plane.

or polishing his guns.

Or picked a bad week to quit smoking.

I guess Captain Murdock erred on the side of caution.... The wing on the left side struck a ILS shack, and the other one was leaking fuel!

Don’t start up with your white zone shit again.

I fell in love with her when i was an aviation obsessed kid. I wanted to fly the 747. She has a presence that other aircraft just don't have. Seeing the opening shot of this film for an aviation obsessed kid was seriously a big deal. The sound of the jet engines and then the slow reveal across the screen. I love this film just because of the opening shot.

they stopped making both the A380 and the 747 Too big for the type of air travel in the 21st century

Dramatic effect

Back in the day 70`s and 80`s loved them. Airlines had pure service. It was alot better then than now days. Now days ya getting ripped off and no service.

Obviously never flew Braniff Airlines ! They were great ! Their airline use bright colors on the planes orange ,blues,reds,yellows,purples...the interiors were stripes, checks,paisley.. Attendants were mod.

Undeniably true.

That is strange because every flight I have been on there has always been nuns there. I thought it was a regular thing like pilots and stewardesses, peanuts and crying babies.

These days, nuns can be seen wearing ordinary clothing. They don't have to be in habits.

Steven Teener Yes you have... You just can’t tell who is a nun anymore..🙂

Does it matter?

did you look outside the airplane?

Damn how old are you now

Airport79 was extremely bad

George Kennedy didnt,he carried on and ended up as a priest in the Chuck Norris action flick The Delta Force which featured a plane hijack which he happened to be onboard.

George Kennedy was in another airplane movie in like 85.

jerico641 ... Steve McQueen died in 1978. He wouldn't be caught DEAD in this turkey. But he was perfectly willing to make the The shitty Towering Inferno the next year.

@@infonut No offense, but McQueen died in 1980. The Towering Inferno was released in 1974. I think McQueen actually selected a pretty good flick to star in when he agreed to TTI. That one and the original Poseidon Adventure I think are the best of the Disaster Flicks; Paul Newman was pretty damn good in TTI too, I thought. Once in a while I like to think back and smile that the catering bill alone for all that high-priced talent was probably 20 times what I made in salary this year...

@@jerico641 ... You are correct. I grovel in mortification. I grovel. That's what I get for not verifying my facts by being to lazy to make a few clicks.

That is because the 747's used in filming Airport 75 and 77 were leased from American for principal filming shots, and had the fictitious liveries painted on them. In 77 when 23-Sierra is in the hangar and Gallagher and Bucheck are descending the stair places at the rear cargo hold you can see the old AA logo on the vertical stabilizer

Surely you cant be serious

Someone needed to tell that reporter “It’s a good thing you don’t know how much we hate your guts”
