Airplane 1 & 2 - Peak Parody Cinema!

Surely the making of one of the funniest movies ever made can’t be that serious…and it really isn’t! OK, 1980’s AIRPLANE! was a tough sell and there were minor clashes between the directors and Paramount and lawsuits from a rival studio threatened the casting of numerous stars. But there was also perfect against-type casting, clever workarounds to silly DGA regulations and a complete reinvention of the spoof movie, all of which made AIRPLANE! one of the greatest comedies ever.. Oh, and there were fart machines, too!
When 1980’s AIRPLANE! proved to be a massive hit, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of the year – up there with THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and Best Picture winner KRAMER VS. KRAMER – it was inevitable that it would get a sequel. But how often are comedy sequels good anyway? When have they ever really recaptured the magic and the laughter of the original? Well, AIRPLANE II: THE SEQUEL gave it a go…by basically being the same movie. Except this time around, ZAZ wisely opted out, leaving the production without the strong leaders who reinvented the spoof genre. Instead, they got the guy who wrote GREASE 2, one of the most notoriously awful sequels ever!
