They are even the same actors. The lady that speaks Jive played June Cleaver, the mother in a wholesome family TV shoe "Leave it to Beaver".

"this is a different kind of comedy" 😋 We had a really good time watching this!

Yeah, about the singer we guessed that it must have been a real celebrity at the time, were just not familiar with her 😅 A lot of pop references from those days in this movie!

"Radarange" was a popular brand of microwave oven. At the time it was almost a generic term. Like "Xerox" for a photocopier.

@@dr.burtgummerfan439 ah, now I get the microwave reference xD

Another very "inside" joke that I just found out about-The passenger stuck in the cab with the meter running was Howard Jarvis, who was head of a movement in California in the 70s to keep taxes and spending from getting out of control (the famous Prop 13) and was in the news quite a lot, so to see him getting charged for sitting in a parked cab would have been funny to some.

@@dr.burtgummerfan439 Amana Radarange! I recently cleaned out my inlaws house (nursing home) and they had one still! Woodgrain, Yellow, and had a wind up plastic turntable.

Yop, comedies lately... Lets just say that movies in general have not been that great. Im glad we were able to see this one! We will rewatch it for sure!

You are so right, wouldn't be made today, that's beyond sad, when did we lose touch with our sense of humor

That's because of the F'd up "Cancel" culture we live in today. The Millennial Generation has been totally "nutsified" by it.🤔🙄😡.....triggered.

⁠@@ofenomeno1381When did we lose our sense of humor? When society became programmed with the notion that every littlest feeling or thought a person has is the absolute most important thing in the world, and that we must purify and cleanse the world of anything and everything that isn’t perfect and nice and loving. As if there’s really a set standard for any of those things; they’re all subjective. Also as if the very same infamous name a bunch of these idiots throw around ad nauseam didn’t try to do exactly the same idealistic purification crap: A certain Austrian painter, soldier, dictator, and warlord whose name I’m reluctant to even use anymore because it has become nothing but a meaningless, hateful buzzword to throw at people one doesn’t agree with. He sought to purify the world of everything he didn’t consider ideal and perfect as well. Today’s parallels to all the ugly shit that went down in both the 40s and 60s are honestly chilling. Nobody fucking knows anything about anything except what random clowns on social media and the news say, so we’re repeating everything just as the time-tested old saying goes: “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” But bad things in history are scary and we must hide them to protect delicate feelings-except for certain things we never let go of and constantly obsess over and use to justify today’s bullshit, of course.🙄😑 …I miss when the world wasn’t completely batshit insane.

@@ofenomeno1381Sorry for the rant. The shit gets under my skin to no end.

We think most of the jokes still land even withouth understanding the references! xD

Don't worry, the jokes were so subtle and quick even a lot of America back then didn't get all of them. Like one of the guys Capt Kramer takes out in the airport lobby says "Jews for Jesus"!

@@phila3884 😂😂😂

Had no idea that it ALMOST happened! That is a very sensible policy. Also, every airplane should have an Otto pilot :p

The pilot and copilot now cannot have the same meal.

Had no idea! Kramer was a badass hero in that scene then! xD

Well, she kinda is... 😅

I love how they show in his flashbacks just a series of planes crashing down, a lot of them just early prototypes of planes!

I think it might have been one of the later wars like Korea or Vietnam

None of the reactors ever notice that. Or the propeller sounds coming from a jet. Lot's of clever, subtle humor.

@@rosefriday4287 but they use black and white world war 2 footage. It's clearly world war 2. But they don't even bother to update it to reflect current wars. That's one of the hilarious things about the movie and one of the reasons it's so hilarious.

@@rosefriday4287 In fact, the Vietnam War was certainly alluded to, which was only a few years over. Cut in, but scenes from World War II. If he had actually been a fighter pilot in World War II, he would have had to fly as a small child, because World War II was over, 35 years ago, and he doesn't exactly look like he was around 60...

Agree, great comedy xD

We saw this movie last year for the first time and we still quote that kind of stuff to each other all the time! 😂😂

"When are you coming back" "That's classified..." That after he had spilled all the important info about his mission. genius 🤣

And the beach scene is stolen from the movie From Here to Eternity.

We didn't notice that! Well, I really think this is one of those movies that you absolutely have to rewatch to catch all the nuances and jokes 😂

@davidsatterfield9169 definitely 😂

I didn't thought of that.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thats great! 😂😂😂

He has his own IMDB page

It's pretty effed up! 😅 and to think that is wife is a zoophile...

Sigourney Weaver, really?! 😂 Thank God she continued acting 🫡 The English language can be very weird for a not native speaker yeah xD

@@ptthatswhatshesaid how can it not? You take a basic germanic language, make most of the actual words Latin or Greek, throw in the French influence with the Norman invasion and the Scandanavian influence thru the Dane law, and compound it by the English languages propensity to not only borrow words from other languages, but track them down in dark alleys and mug them. There's a reason that English, if it is not your native tongue, is the hardest language in the world to learn.

Why wouldn't Sigourney Weaver keep acting. She had already STARRED in Alien the previous year. And she didn't quit. She auditioned and had no comic timing, and so wasn't offered the job. English is wacky enough without you making up stories about Weaver and her acting career!

"Sigourney Weaver, fresh from Alien, auditioned for flight attendant Elaine Dickinson, a role that eventually went to Julie Hagerty. As we learn from Harris's oral history, Weaver was reluctant to say the line, "Sit on your face and wriggle.""

Well, we didn't get the reference to coffee comercials, but still found that hilarious! 😂 Must have been even funnier when it came out xD

And the jive interpreter is played by the whitest mom in '50's American television, Barbara Billingsley.

That went right over our heads! But I suppose that for audiences of that time it was an obvious reference xD

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7BknqZ3l5izYqs.html They hired look-alike actress, and suddenly realised it is the same actress!

Thats hilarious! I thought they had hired the same actress on purpose! 😂

They did 'Kentucky Fried Movie' before this. Much raunchier with less plot. Check out 'Big Jim Slade' here on YT. It's from that movie.

@@clownzzz4837 I actually walked out of that movie with some friends.

I remember watching that one at school when I was younger! Definitely need to rewatch it

I had no idea there was a sequel! But is it at the same level as this one?

Yeah makes sense, were just not that used to see that 😅

Thanks! It was a first for both of us, Im ashamed I had never seen it before! 😂

Btw is this a super exaggerated version of that, or more or less realistic?

People not understanding it was also a thing and is what drives the humor in this bit.😉

Well, that we got it! Impossible for us to understand 😂

I did notice his uniform at the bar, but since I don't know that much about military uniforms didn't say anything.. I thought I was probably wrong xD

@@ptthatswhatshesaid Everything in this movie is there on purpose

So weird to think about that.. all of those Kids being way older than me 😬😂

I love Top Secret! She is usually very serious but when it comes down to comedy, she loves this kind of stuff apparently! 😂

Ahahah if the movie were to be dubbed in portuguese they would have The black guys speaking in portuguese from the Azores! xD that would work!

we can see that when he starts telling his story to the old lady she is like "oh god, what did I get myself into..."

@@ptthatswhatshesaid yup. It just always struck me as so funny that he was quite literally boring them to death. I always wondered how many passengers they lost on that flight that we didn't see him talking to. Lol.

@@toodlescae Yes! How many casualties?!

It's worth it 😉

That one, we didn't got the reference at all! I saw the mayo on the shelves but had no idea that there was an actual mayo clinic that existed xD

Even quite recently she was rewatching some of the old episodes 😂

Had no idea that they were spoofing a specific movie! This is great!

I'll try to put it up as soon as monday or tuesday!

had no idea! Basketball is not very big here in Portugal 😬

That she has to sing in every movie... 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

I don't know why, but we just thought they were german teens.... 🤦🏻‍♂️ Didn't thought about Scout girls 😂

….I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue🤪

@@RobertH-ol6mw it’s the hollow tube on the belt button

@@justsmashing4628 I speak jive

Now we get it! I was really surprised at how much she enjoyed the movie 😅

thank you very much!

I think it as a lot of rewatchability potencial (if that is even a real word ir expression...) Because they have comedy happening in both the frame and the dialogues 😂

@@ptthatswhatshesaidhi, y there is a lot .my favorite series is sci fi western , it has quite a cult following , high ratings and a great cast with humor and witty dialogue , I think you both would like it a lot , it's called " firefly " , had just one season so it's short ,14 eps . Please consider "firefly" .thanks

I love that series and "Serenity". We might do that series yeah, since she needs to be exposed to more sci-fi xD

@@ptthatswhatshesaid would be great , I think she would like the black-ish humor , and everyone should watch firefly

@@ptthatswhatshesaid oh and maybe "princess bride " for a fantasy , everyone loves it

We really did! Need to show her another movie of this genre xD

@@ptthatswhatshesaid May I recommend The Naked Gun: From The Files of Police Squad? Same writer/director team, even funnier than this one IMO since Airplane, though hilarious, has tons of jokes making cultural references from the 70s that may not land today . The Naked Gun is more self-contained.

@@ptthatswhatshesaid knew you’d both enjoy 😊…next Fargo yes? Another one you’ll love, I think :)

I didn't remembered the name of that movie but I did make reference to it in our afterthoughts (you'll be able to see it in the second part). Its been a really long time since I saw it, but I do remember it being hilarious and she has never seen it! Good recomendation 👌🏻

Fargo I definetly need to show her, thats for sure 😋

I agree

Thought he was just a random guy 😅

Yeah, the fact of him being a famous basketball player went right over our heads 😅
