As Dr. Rumack said: "You'd better tell the Captain we've got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital."
In the pantheon of screen comedy, there are silent films, slapstick, screwballs, and then there is the Airplane! singularity. For fans of rapid-fire gags, deadpan delivery, and cinematic anarchy, few home video releases hold as much nostalgic weight as the This specific collection, which bundles the untouchable 1980 classic with its ambitious 1982 sequel, represents a pivotal shift in Hollywood humor.
Originally titled Flying High (depending on where you live), this film didn't just push the envelope—it lit the envelope on fire and threw it out the cockpit window. Directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (ZAZ) trio, this film invented the modern spoiler genre.
In the early 1980s, cinema was changed forever by a barrage of puns, visual gags, and deadpan delivery. The Airplane! Double Feature—consisting of the 1980 original and its 1982 sequel—represents a high-water mark for the parody genre. If you’re looking to revisit these classics or experience the "Eng" (English) versions for the first time, here is why this double feature remains the gold standard of slapstick. Airplane! (1980): The Movie That Launched a Thousand Memes
It reunited much of the original cast, ensuring the chemistry remained intact. Why the Double Feature Matters Today
For collectors and film buffs, finding the in its original English (Eng) audio is the best way to experience the rhythmic timing of the dialogue. The "ZAZ" style of comedy relies heavily on wordplay and specific vocal inflections that are best preserved in their native language. What to Look For in a Release:
Ensure the English tracks are remastered (Dolby Digital or DTS).
The plot is deceptively simple: Ex-fighter pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays), a traumatized veteran with a drinking problem ("Listen, Betty, don't start up with your 'zone of danger' talk"), boards a flight to Chicago to win back his stewardess girlfriend, Elaine Dickinson (Julie Hagerty). When food poisoning incapacitates the crew, Ted must land the plane.
The early 1980s saw the release of not one, but two comedy masterpieces that would go on to become cult classics: Airplane! (1980) and Airplane II: The Sequel (1982). Directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker, these films are spoofing the disaster movie genre, and their influence can still be felt today.
