    It's a classic on many levels, almost all of the jokes hit home and it was the first time many of them were performed. It was the weak imitation of other movies that kind of took from it. Leslie Nielsen is at his best in this also. The bit with the public phones at the start when the pilot was looking at porno mags always cracks me up.

    The late Leslie Nielsen was one of my all time favourites, a comic genius.

    Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.

    Captain Oveur: Roger!

    Roger Murdock: Huh?

    Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.

    Captain Oveur: Roger!

    Roger Murdock: Huh?

    Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

    Captain Oveur: What?

    Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.

    Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

    Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

    Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!

    Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.

    Tower voice: Over.

    Captain Oveur: Roger.

    Roger Murdock: Huh?

    Tower voice: Roger, over!

    Roger Murdock: What?

    Captain Oveur: Huh?



    Classic :)

    Though I won't watch it on RTE, I hate commercial breaks on a station I already have to pay so much for. But I have the DVD. A movie like this is worth watching in one go.

    Well that's a bit random.
    I created this thread last year and lo and behold I watched Airplane on RTE2 tonight at 1:40am then saw that Junkyard_Tom bumped this thread.

    Judging from my original post I guess it was on Christmas Night. But alright gentlemen place your bets! Place your bets here! :pac:

    When will Airplane be shown on RTE2 Christmas 2017 :p

    Grew up watching it on VHS many times. It really was how the jokes were delivered, including visually, that worked so well.

    'Murdock' is actually a Gaelic surname. And it means - 'Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue'

    Ah Airplane. I remember seeing it on TV one night when I was a kid. I couldn't believe what I was watching. I'd never seen anything like that before: a movie going for broke with joke after joke after joke. So many of them still kill and some are just flat out inspired.

    I've also watched Airplane 2 quite a lot too. A very underrated comedy
