Oh, you're watching _Airplane!_ ? Well, I just wanted to tell you: Good Luck! We're all counting on you.

My favorite gag is the running joke no one ever seems to comment on: the fact that this jet airplane SOUNDS like a propeller-driven plane.

This movie has some of the best “straight acting” ever. Leslie Neilson was a dramatic actor for decades, this was his first comedy, and his serious delivery was an instant hit.

The "What is it?" jokes are pure gold.

I saw this in the theater when i was 10 and i can remember the audience laughing from beginning to end, people were laughing while they were walking out of the theater and my father took us out to dinner afterwards and we were still laughing in the restaurant, the waitress thought we were all mental.

The couple arguing over the tannoy were in fact the real life announcers for Los Angeles LAX & they were also married.

The "jive lady" was played by Barbara Billingsley, who was most famous for playing the very proper housewife June Cleaver on the popular '50s sitcom "Leave It To Beaver". She was playing WAY against type here, which makes it even funnier.

"Don't call me Shirley" is such a famous line. I hear people say it all the time.

You're the first one doing a reaction video with the patience to watch all the way through the credits for the final gag.

"OK boys, let's get some pictures" is the best joke that most reactors skipped so I'm very pleased you kept it in 😁

The slow realization of the joke in the line 'It's a big building with patients' sweeping across your face was priceless. Haha!

Dawn seeing the Autopilot joke from a mile away and it still splitting her sides was golden

Classic comedy! The Naked Gun movie series starring Leslie Nielsen, would soon follow in the 80’s and 90’s.

This is a very strange version of Airplane to not have the subtitles included on the jive speaking scenes. It's not a captioning that can be turned on and off. It's part of the movie! No wonder she didn't understand what they were saying. But in 40 years, I've never seen any version of the movie without that translation. That's just weird.

"Laughing makes everything better." Words of wisdom, those. Thank you for the beautiful reaction!

- Are you a doctor ? - That's right. The stethoscope and the super-serious way Leslie Nieslen answers her makes it one of my favorite moments of that masterpiece.

Fun Fact: The actor playing McClusky (the head of air traffic control) is Lloyd Bridges; the father of Jeff Bridges

"We have clearance Clarence. Roger Roger. What's our vector Victor?"

Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack and Peter Graves were all respected serious actors prior to this so their casting was pure genius. So many running jokes throughout the movie that still stand up after 40 years and dozens of views.

the pilot in the cockpit is the world famous kareem abdul jabaar who played for the los angelos lakers when they won a bunch of titles back in the 80's.. that's why the basketball references to the boy...

Real Genius starring a young Val Kilmer. It's another 80's classic

The guy in the control tower commanding as such, is Admiral Benson in Hot Shots haaa! He's hilarious!!!

If you love Airplane, I can highly recommend Naked Gun 1, Naked Gun 2 ½ and 3 1/3 (also with Leslie Nielsen), and Top Secret (with a very young Val Kilmer).

4:39 Oh no, the "jive" subtitles were integrated into the regular subtitles! You were supposed to see amusing translations while these guys were talking.

Many of the stars are legendary Dramatic actors

Looks like i picked the wrong week to stop watching reaction videos on KZfaq

“This? Why, I can make a hat, or a brooch, or a pterodactyl!”

Looks like i picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue -

The "subscribe" edit was expert level Youtubing :)

Watch this in the theater and everyone LOL when Kareen said he was dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court because it was so true. Sad part about watch all these reaction videos today for this movie is that no one knows who Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is.😢

Robert Stack, who played Rex Kramer is WIDELY known in the US for his TV show dealing with the mysterious, supernatural, and true crime, 'Unsolved Mysteries'. He's also had other serious roles like playing Eliot Ness on the 'Untouchables' in 1959.

"Listen, Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again." This movie is immortal. It only gets better with age, especially when you finally get all the references.

The very best parody of the disaster & many other films from the era. Can't count how many time I've seen this since it first came out. All the hidden puns & innuendo are still hilarious decades later.

The best part of the "Like my men" line was the boys face afterwards.

I've not watched this for years, forgotten a lot of the jokes. Your laughter made it even funnier to see again. Hope your cold gets better quickly.

We are counting on you! Dawn get better..........You are welcome!!!!!!!! Calm down!!!

I'm glad to you watched this! This set the standard for SO many "parody" movies, like "Scary Movie." I hope you love it! The first thing to be aware of is that with only 2 exceptions, all of the actors were "serious" actors, most having never been in comedies before! Sometimes the humor won't quite come across, for instance, you might not know that the man waiting in the cab was Howard Jarvis, who was behind the property tax "rebellion" in California, so it was funny that the cab fare kept going up while he just waited there. And then there was the lady "interpreter." She played a part in the family comedy from the 60s and 70, "Leave it to Beaver," where she played the mother. If you grew up with the TV show, it was hilarious, but I'm guessing for someone who was not familiar with the TV show, maybe not so great... And of course, "Roger," the black co-pilot, was played by basketball all-star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It is a big building with patients!!! Dawn did you notice that the airplane is a jet. YET, the sound is engines and props. The auto pilot deflates!! And don't call me Shirley!! She did not want any whiskey. She had her nose candy instead.. Dawn we all are counting on you, good luck!!!

Airplane! is a remake of a serious film called Zero Hour! The plot is identical, the directors ended up acquiring the rights to the original once they realized how much they wanted to steal. Also, before watching The Naked Gun, see if you can find a copy of Police Squad! It's a TV series they made before the Naked Gun movies. Only 6 episodes, but it's a brilliant parody of cop shows of the era. Oh, and another recommendation for Top Secret!

The world was such a better place when everyone had a sense of humor

You’re the only person I’ve seen who stayed for the scene after the credits. You definitely deserve a thumbs up for that.

Airplane! Is a work of genius. Seen it countless times. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤😂

You're going back to bed? What is it? It's a little platform with a mattress, but that's not important now. Loved the reaction 👍👍 and you got most of the jokes.

4:16--Jimmy "JJ" Walker ("Good Times") 19:00--Pinocchio reference

Did you catch the name of the inflatable in the titles ? Otto. Otto-Pilot.

Such a great reaction😆😅 Love that you got all the jokes and love your laugh😂🤣 “A hospital, what is it?” ‘It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important’😛😝😜🤪

There was a problem with the settings on your DVD. Whenever the two jive guys talked, you were supposed to have subtitles with the "white" translation...

Your laughter is contagious. And you getting and laughing at the auto pilot joke absolutely makes my day 😂🤣. Love your reactions

Because of this movie, US Airlines actually implemented a rule where the Pilot and Co-Pilot are not allowed to have the same meal during flights.

Finally! The only reactor that I've seen who watched the after credits scene.

OMG one of the greatest funniest movies ever made😄😄😄very classic Airplane directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker. Starring Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen and Lloyd Bridges. Thank you so much Dawn Marie for reacting this masterpiece

One million thanks!!! What a awesome reaction!!!! And you stuck around till the end credit scene. Another million thanks!!!!

Your laughter is infectious! I love watching this movie when I’m in a really bad mood; it makes things right as rain. Feel better and thanks for sharing the fun!!! Cheers!

The Layers and layers of jokes in this movie are what makes it truly amazing.

Surely the first reviewer who saw the taxi joke at the end! Nice one!

The woman who "spoke Jive was the mother on a popular TV show called "Leave It To Beaver." The joke is that she played this white bread wholesome mom on TV. Her name is Barbara Billingsley.

Between blazing saddles and princess bride there is no wrong choice. Blazing saddles is piss your pants funny and princess bride is super clever/creative. Also I love the propeller sounds that the jet engines make in airplane 😂

One thing a lot of people seem to miss, the woman who can speak jive with the two black guys, played June clever. You know beaver's mom in leave it to beaver.

Oh, is Top Secret on your list?? It's similar to this comedy wise. Oh and Airplane was a comedy reponse to all the 70s disaster films about passenger jets too.

I like this movie so much now I'm watching half of KZfaq reacting to it. Fun fact: A QANTAS airline captain (and Top Gun pilot) quoted this movie during a real in-flight emergency.

Leslie (Canadian) is the king of this genre of Silly parody style. It was huge in the 80s with Spoof movies, Major League, Naked Gun, Airplane... and they all had sequels.

Only just realised! Otto Pilot, at 13:33, whilst receiving "manual inflation", suddenly has a vastly bigger smile than usual.

The couple arguing over the PA system at the beginning were actually married and the actual people who did the announcement recordings for LAX; their voices were quite recognizable to anyone flying through LAX back in the 70s. The guy in the Taxi was also really well known. He had gone on a crusade to remove the tax base for CA schools (unfortunately successfully) and was known as a massive penny-pincher. It's really weird you didn't get subtitles for the Jive scenes... I've never seen that before. You shouldn't need to turn subtitles on to get them as they're required in order to get the jokes, but maybe this edition didn't get the memo? KZfaq should have those clips if you're interested. Also, the passenger who translates for the stewardess was the actress who played the mom in Leave it to Beaver - this was a well known, 1950s, all-American-Family (ie white & anodyne) show. It was quite a shock for audiences when she started speaking Jive.

Watching such a funny comedy takes your mind of a cold. Worth many rewatchs down the road.

Love your reaction videos!! You have real reactions as opposed to the ones that are forced or fake, so keep being you!! I watched this as a kid and found new things every time. The biggest one was when I finally noticed that every time the airplane is shown from the outside, it sounds like a propeller driven aircraft insead of a jet lol. Oh and some of the jokes are time related, like the co-pilot was one of the best NBA players of the 70s & 80s and the kid called him on it lol. Feel better!!

At 11:44 the black pilot is the Lakers star *Kareem Abdul-Jabbar* , the top scorer in NBA history. The yellow pants are the Lakers shorts, and he often wore goggles while playing professional basketball.

You should watch Murder By Death and Clue, two great comedies.

"This movie has to be gotten to a theater", "A theater? what is it?", "It's a big building with a screen inside but that's not important right now".

You'll see this film countless times and still catch new jokes. I don't know which copy of DVD you got, but the chat between the two jive guys is subtitled in a jokey way. Also, the co-pilot was really Kareem Abdhul Jabar, who is an all-time basketball legend. The doctor is Leslie Nielsen, who stars in the Naked Gun films as well as the much better TV series, "Police Squad" that Naked Gun is based on. I think I only watch about 4 reaction channels because most don't capture the reason for people watching them. Yours is right up there because you show genuine reactions rather than forced ones. Please don't lose your personality, it makes old films I've seen so many times seem fresh again.

My all-time favorite movie.Lot's of cameos. Jimmie Walker (JJ) from Good Times was checking under the hood..

OMFG you are adorable reacting to this one. It's FUN seeing someone with a great sense of humor experience a movie like this. Airplane is slapstick, but it has an intelligent side to it. I love comedy that can be silly, but also self aware. It reminds me of the original Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure in that it's really creative slapstick, made by a bunch of smart people for an adult audience. Anywaaaaaay... excellent work on this. Thank you for making me smile during breakfast. 😁👍

There are a lot of jokes that younger generations (or non-Americans) may miss, not because they didn't age well but because some people aren't familiar with the celebrities of the time. The co-pilot was Kareem Abdul-Jabar, center for the LA Lakers and the player with the most points scored in NBA history. Jive is American slang but the culmination of that whole joke is the older lady who 'translates' was Barbara Billingsley, who played the mom in the show Leave it to Beaver in the late 1950's. The person cleaning the windows and checking the oil while the pilots are talking before takeoff, was Jimmy Walker, who was in some of the biggest shows of the 70s. And many of these actors are spoofing other roles they had in dramatic airplane related shows or movies. It seems like you really enjoyed this, so do yourself a favor and watch Police Squad. Same directors, starring Leslie Nielsen. Full shows (only 6 episodes) are available on KZfaq.

And don't call me shirley...

The dr on the phone was the first voice of boba fett

"Nun's Life" 😂😂

This film has some of the best trivia and behind the scenes stories of any film out there. There’s a DVD edition of the film called “The Don’t Call Me Shirley Edition” which has a great making-of documentary.

Bravo for watching till the end of the credits! There are quite a few gags in the credits themselves too. I'd recommend watching The Naked Gun now, and also Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! So much fun 😊

The premise behind everything Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker wrote together was a joke every 20 seconds, whether it was funny or not. It worked with the movies they did but when it came to their Police Squad series in 1982 it failed because people don't actually *watch* TV. The listen, they look at it but they don't tend to pay attention to what they're seeing and so much of their work is based on sight gags. That also means you can watch one of their movies 5 times and still see something new every time.

Highly recommend "Hell Comes To Frogtown" for a movie that you normally wouldn't pick yourself, but might enjoy.

The old lady who speaks jive is Barbara Billingsly from Leave it to Beaver from the 50s

17:13 - 17:23 is what goes through my head every time I go down a busy street and get approached by all the charity muggers :P

I love this movie. There’s so many jokes per minute that you need to watch it loads of times to get them all. I think what makes it work is that they don’t have comic actors in the main roles, they were all proper actors and the fact they play it completely straight just makes the silliness even funnier

Now you need to watch it again. The jokes are so thick and fast, that one can't catch them all with one viewing. I watched this movie several times and caught something new each time.

Here's a new "hello" for you. Konnichiwa (Japanese).

The guy in the Taxi was Howard Jarvis. Howard was one of those "Consumer Rights Reporters". In real life he never would have allowed a cab driver to shaft him like that. That's the humor of his situation. The man and woman doing the airport "The White Zone is for immediate unloading only" are the actual voice talents that made that recording at Los Angeles airport. For decades you heard those two making that announcement. And, off subject, if you ever heard in a Bugs Bunny cartoon "With stops in Needles, Barstow annnnnd Rancho Cuckamanga" is an actual recording from the downtown Los Angeles bus station.

Actor Bill Murray is known in the airline industry for leveraging his celebrity on his flights for sticking his head into the cockpit, saying: "I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you," and then closing the door.

Maureen McGovern who played the nun in airplane played the singer in the 1974 disaster film The Towering Inferno they had an All-Star cast where some of them get killed off as the building is burning down. She won the Academy Award for the theme song featured in the film.

You have such beautiful eyes and an adorable laugh

Woman who translated the jive was Barbara Billingsley, best known as the mother, June Cleaver, on Leave it To Beaver

Alright, give me Hamm on 5, hold the MAYO.

So glad you enjoyed it so much. Did you notice Charles Dickens included in the end credits ?

Recommend Scary Movie 3 if you haven't seen it. Sounds like an odd choice I know but it's very much a callback to the humour of Airplane.

Every time Leslie Nielsen was flying somewhere, he would stick his head in the cockpit and deliver his famous line to the pilots and crew.... -- Robert Hays who played Ted Striker is a pilot in real life and actually certified to fly multi-engine aircraft such as the one in the film...

4:39 How does your DVD not have subtitles??? That's the whole joke!!! Who thought they should put out the DVD with no subtitles???

The remastered release of this was called "don't call me Shirley" edition lol

You have a cold? Monty Python would call you a MANKY SCOTS G..... I'd say take it easy, and convalescing is the perfect way to watch MORE MOVIES :) Feel Better Soon

I’m so glad you stuck around to watch the closing credits for the extra hidden jokes. Also, I just want to tell you good luck. We’re counting on you.

the funniest film ever, fab, thanks Dawn

The guy with the big wrench waiting in line to smack them lady always cracks people up.

The copilot is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He was a famous basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. Also, the guy in the cab is Howard Jarvis. He was famous in the 1970s as the guy who fought to get Proposition 13 passed. (Which lowered property taxes in California.)
