Now, it is up to Ted Striker (Robert Hays) and stewardess Elaine Dickinson (Julie Hagerty) to turn off the computer and save the passengers. Not as hilarious as the first movie, but it does have some amusing gags. Cameo appearances by Raymond Burr, Chuck Connors, and Sonny Bono, among others.

 Airplane! 1980  PG, 88 min.

Cast: Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Lloyd Bridges, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, Barbara Billingsley, Kenneth Tobey, Ethel Merman, James Hong, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Lorna Patterson, Stephen Stucker, Jim Abrahams, Craig Berenson
Leslie Nielsen found his niche as a character actor in this parody of the "Airport" disaster movies. When the passengers and its crew get sick from the food, the fate of the plane depends on a combat fatigued pilot (Robert Hays) and his long-lost love (Julie Hagerty) who also happens to be a stewardess on the flight. Great cliches, gags, and sly humor. 1 User Review

| | Only ½ star, but should be in everybody's collection. | Bobo 11/20/2007 | | The invading alien is a turnip-shaped creature with crab-like claws and a face reminiscent of a evil-faced Halloween pumpkin carving. How can you NOT have a copy of this campy treat? (Also note that this movie sports and all-star cast -- uh, for the genre, that is... :) |
