Movie Reviews of Airplane II: The Sequel
Movie Review: The haters don't get it, this movie rules
Summary: 5 Stars
In reading the list of reviews posted here, it's clear that many who have reviewed this film, just plain don't get it. For starters, Airplane One is perhaps the greatest comedy every made. To put this movie down by comparing it to the original is like saying every new film that comes out stinks because it's not quite as good as Citizen Kane. The second mistake people make is to point out the places where this movie continues jokes from Airplane 1. These items are re-used for one simple reason, BECAUSE THEY WERE HILARIOUS!!! One thing to remember is that in '80 & '82, VCRs and rental stores had not completely taken root in popular culture. When this movie came out in 1982, it's not like the fans of the first had been sitting around watching the video over and over again for a year leading up to it-- They had been sitting around for two years talking about the funniest movie they had ever seen. They continued the humor in the same way that Saturday Night Live did A LOT more than ONE episode of Hans and Franz, or Chris Farley's motivational speaker.
If you buy this movie, just watch it, and enjoy it; not for what it isn't, but what it is. Slapstick has never been done as well as in the two Airplane movies.
"Check it bleed, the bro was ON! Didn't trip, but the folks was freakin' man! Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bone, holmes! So blood hammered out and jammed jip, sheeeeet...Tighented that bad sucka 'side the runway like a mutha... Sheeeet (golly)."
Movie Review: FUNNIER THAN AIRPLANE 1: The First Movie that demands a funnier sequel!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, Airplane 2 The Sequel is funnier than it's predecessor. Contrary to popular opinion, none of the jokes were recycled from the first film for the Sequel. The funniest moments in this movie include Ted Strikers escape from the sanitarium, Sonny Bono's Character purchasing a time bomb from an AIRPORT GIFT SHOP, and then Ted Striker's not so subtle Revealing of the "problem" that Sonny Bono's character suffers from. Just remember the other great joke regarding this "problem" and half the men in the room upon hearing upon a treatment center for this problem say "we're familiar with it". HOW is that not funny???? I mean Jeez! This movie is EASILY funnier! From beginning to end! I mean it's a laugh a minute of hysterical non-stop hilarity! I can't say anymore without giving away some of the best jokes, but William Shatner's appearance towards the end of the film gives the film a great feel too. Yes, airplane II: the sequel that has gone where no sequel has gone new yorik!Movie Review: SILLY BUT FUN
Summary: 5 Stars
As in the original AIRPLANE, there are so many sight gags and one liners going on, it's hard to keep up with them, but the movie made me laugh a lot. Comparing it to the original is natural, but given we have a different director and a different approach, it is best to let it stand on its own. And I found it did for me.
Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty are back as the starstruck lovers and the bit where she removes her bobby pin to give to Hays is truly funny. Stephen Shucker is back, although he's not used as much, but his one liners are still hilarious. Peter Graves returns as the pilot who likes little boys; Lloyd Bridges is back as the flight commander; Chuck Connors and William Shatner are fun in their brief roles, and we get nice bits from Chad Everett, Raymond Burr, Rip Torn, John Dehner and John Vernon.
I like this corny type of humor, for some reason, but when a movie makes me laugh this much, who cares about its faults?
Movie Review: 'No not a buh, a bomb!'
Summary: 5 Stars
It was always going to struggle to follow in the footsteps of the classic Airplane!, but I was pleasantly suprised in the quality of the jokes in this follow up. What made the original so successful was its irritatingly funny, completely obvious, oh-so-crude humour, and thankfully this follow up does the trick just as well. Your funnybone will be well and truly tickled, and you will spend hours afterwards reciting your favourite parts to everyone. Then you will go and see it again and find it even better. To sum it up, it is a 'never-get-bored-with- film'. Go get it. Your video will thank you for it.Movie Review: Airplane 2 is amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
You know what they say about sequels, they arent as good as the first one was. Well, this movie is an exception. It might even be better than the first airpane movie. You will be laughing histerically after you see this movie. A great thing about this movie is that it never gets old, and you can always find jokes that you didn't see the first time. You just cant go wrong with buying this movie. Just rent or buy it and see what i mean.
