Anecdotes
Although several air crisis films contributed a range of clichés that would appear in the parody Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion? (1980), Airplane! was directly based on this film. The writers noted down every quirk and came up with such great material that they decided to make their own comedy film. To avoid lawsuits and royalty issues, and as Zero Hour was so obscure, they found that they could afford to buy the rights to the entire film and then do whatever they wished. This would inspire Airplane! fans to view Zero Hour with cult-like status, organizing viewings during which they could spot all the clichés.

Gaffes
The first view of the instrument panel after the pilots fall ill, has most of the instruments moving around wildly and in a disconnected fashion. Since the plane was being flown by the automatic pilot, this is something done for theatrical purposes. Instruments moving like that would be seen in a wildly maneuvering aircraft or one that was crashing. For the rest of the film, views of the panel show normal gauge movements.

If you're an Airplane! fan, you've got to see this film.

I was always told that Airplane! was a take off of the Airport movies of the 70s. It might have been, but the main source for the film was Zero Hour! This film is hilarious if you're a big Airplane! fan. As I watched ZH, I was reciting the same Airplane! dialogue in my head. I've never seen two movies that are so similar. It's quite a hoot!
