THE SURVIVAL OF EVERYONE ON BOARD DEPENDS ON JUST ONE THING: FINDING SOMEONE ON BOARD WHO CAN NOT ONLY FLY THIS PLANE, BUT WHO DIDN'T HAVE FISH FOR DINNER: That's actually not just a quote from Airplane! but from Zero Hour!, the 1957 film upon which it's based. How closely? Take a look:

    My favorite thing about this video as I've seen it make the rounds is learning how many people do not actually  understand the concept of parody.

  2. "It's an entirely different kind of flying."

    My brother and I were dimly aware that Airplane! was based on Zero Hour, but when we saw the latter, our jaws dropped.  It makes you appreciate Airplane! all the more.

    It's apparently uncredited, but is the voice-over of Stryker's flashback (the Airplane! Stryker, that is) to his mission during The War done by Henry Fonda?  It sure sounds like it.

  4. I believe you left out the last word of the quote, which appears in both versions.

    'It's a different kind of flying.'

    My High School Drama Club did Zero Hour in 72. Blew my mind when I realized how they bulit off of it to create Airplane, of course Arthur Hailey built off of it to create "Airport", so the parody was doubly impactful.....

  9. We could argue at considerable length as to whether this makes Airplane! appear more brilliant or less. Altogether. For my money, the biggest laugh in Airplane!, at least the first time I saw it, was the topless woman who springs into frame during the Big Panic scene. I DON'T think that was featured in Zero Hour.
