Wissenswertes
At a pre-screening of this movie, the audience was given 3-D glasses as they entered the theater. After several minutes into the "blurry" film, distorted by the 3-D glasses everyone donned, the pre-screeners realized the film was not in 3-D. The audience had been duped, but it was unclear by whom. (Cincinnati, 1982)

Patzer
When Ted Striker is attempting to land the shuttle, he makes reference to the events of Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug (1980) and talks about landing a Boeing 767 in Chicago. In "Airplane!" he was landing a Boeing 707. The Boeing 767 was not in service until 1982.

Zitate
Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: *Andy* went to pieces?
Witness: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: *Howie* came unglued?
Witness: Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Witness: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.

Crazy Credits
After the ending credits roll off the screen, a commercial comes up that says "Coming from Paramount Pictures: Airplane III". Then William Shatner, as Buck Murdock, comes on and says "That's exactly what they'll be expecting us to do!"

Alternative Versionen
Network TV version includes extra footage, including a scene where budget passengers are tossed out of a moving airplane on tethers. Another showing the President (Reagan impersonator) plus, a few additional gags, here and there.

Funny...

And that's all that matters. Of course, this isn't on the same level as the first "Airplane!", but it's a good parody movie, even without the ZAZ team around.

The main actors reprise their roles and that makes it seem like a legit sequel (Sorry - no Leslie Nielsen here). Only this time it's set in an alternate, absurd future and the aircraft is heading toward the moon.

The sight gags are there, the verbal puns are there, and the plot manages to keep the funny and treat the absurdity of it all with naturality. However, many jokes are recycled from the first one - they're still funny, but this means that "Airplane II" just doesn't have the same staying power as the original - I liked it, but I'm not in a hurry to rewatch it again anytime soon. The first one just never gets old.

Another problem is that some jokes that are repeated WAY too much. It's like, without ZAZ, they just couldn't figure out when to stop at the right time, and that makes some jokes not so funny after a while.

But if you forget there was a first movie, you will have fun with this silly little comedy. It delivers the goods - laughs - and that's all that really matters in the end.
