Airplane II: The Sequel 1982 PG, 84 min. Genre: Comedy / Sci-Fi / Romance
Director: Ken Finkleman Cast: Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, William Shatner, Rip Torn, Chad Everett, Raymond Burr, Chuck Connors, John Dehner, Sonny Bono, John Vernon, Stephen Stucker, Kent McCord, James A. Watson Jr.
In this sequel (starring most of the original cast), the first passenger shuttle takes off for the moon, but there's a computer on board that kills the crew. 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. Genre: Comedy / Romance
Director: Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker 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
