I work in the airline industry. Many pilots told me Leslie Nielsen used to pop his head through the cockpit door while boarding, and actually tell pilots “I just wanted to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.”
A visual joke I’d never noticed before: he was in the Air Force, but wearing a Navy dress uniform.
As a commercial pilot, I can assure you: "Posers quote Top Gun, real pilots quote Airplane!"
“How soon can you land?” “I can’t tell” “You can tell me, I’m a doctor” “No, I mean I’m just not sure” “Well can’t you take a guess?” “Well, not for another 2 hours” “You can’t take a guess for another two hours?” Lmao brilliant
Best line in the movie by far, "Shouldn't we turn in the landing lights sir?" "No, that's exactly what they'll be expecting us to do"
A true cut of all of the classic scenes in Airplane would just be the whole movie
Peter Graves' expression when he says "You ever seen a grown man naked?" is priceless. It's like "I can't believe I'm saying this."
Nielsen’s introduction with the stethoscope in his ears is pure gold
'We have clearance Clarence' 'Roger, Roger' 'What's our vector Victor?' That part is hilarious 😂
"Excuse me sir, are you a doctor?" wearing stethoscope on a plane for no reason "That's right" Kills me every time.
How the actors could keep straight faces while performing these hilarious scenes is beyond me.🤣
You might as well just run the whole movie. Every scene is a classic.
The constant hum of the propellers on a jet aircraft...
Christopher Lee was supposed to play the doctor but turned it down. He later said that it was the greatest regret of his career.
I’ll never forget my mom and her friend laughing hysterically at this movie after it had just come out. RIP Mom. Good memories!
Jim never vomits at home
"Captain. How soon can you land?" "I can't tell." "You can tell me, I'm a doctor." LOL I swear that's one of the funniest lines I've ever heard by Nielsen.
My favorite part "Sir, we should turn those floodlights on." "No.... that's just what they'll be expecting us to do."
I’m not quite sure why but the line “Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home” always gets me.
