Airplane! (1980)
| Director: | Jim Abrahams | | Cast: | Leslie Nielsen, Lloyd Bridges and David Zucker |
This hilarious spoof of those melodramatic '70s disaster flicks never relents with its sight gags, bad puns and sly innuendo. The first of the “you-know-it's-dumb-but-you-can't-help-laughing” films, Airplane! demands repeat viewings, since many of its jokes are tucked away in the background.
