Airplane II: The Sequel Audience Reviews

Tuchergson Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Eric Stevenson The original film was my favorite comedy of all time. This isn't good, but it certainly isn't terrible. Given the status of modern spoof movies, it's still the best movie ever. I think my main problem with this flick is that it just reuses many jokes from the first one. The weird thing is that the jokes they do use are funny. It just doesn't do anything that the original didn't do better.The two leads from the last movie still haven't gotten their relationship back together. I missed Leslie Neilsen. At least we got Johnny back! It's a pity the famous people who worked on the first movie aren't back. Weird, I thought William Shatner only had like a cameo in this movie. He actually did have a pretty relevant part. **1/2
grantss The first Airplane movie was a classic comedy. A spoof of airplane disaster movies, and a great one. This, the sequel, is not as good as the first movie - the novelty has worn off somewhat. The structure and formula of the jokes is set, and the same as the first movie. Makes some of the jokes quite predictable.Still a good movie though. Hilariously funny at times. Like the first movie it does suffer from the fact that some of the jokes would have been topical at the time, but are mostly meaningless now.The two leads, Robert Hays and Julie Hagarty, reprise their roles from the first movie., and do a good job. As do Lloyd Bridges and Peter Graves.Some famous faces in minor roles: Raymond Burr, William Shatner, Sonny Bono.
SnoopyStyle Ken Finkleman takes over as writer/director with the departure of Jim Abrahams and David Zucker. The movie recycles a lot of the jokes from the first movie. The main differences are that they're going into space, Leslie Nielsen is only in archival footage, and there is a bit of nudity.Striker (Robert Hays) escapes from the loonie bin to come rescue Elaine (Julie Hagerty) on the inaugural flight of the space shuttle Mayflower. Captain Oveur (Peter Graves) is piloting the shuttle, and Striker is forced to fly the plane once again.The repeating of many of the jokes from the first movie is probably very necessary. The style of the franchise hasn't changed. I do like the new joke of Striker's drinking problem. However, the freshness of the original isn't there anymore.
OllieSuave-007 This is the sequel to David and Jerry Zucker's "Airplane!," written and directed by Ken Finkleman. Instead of jet liner, a space shuttle is featured. It is booked with passengers and sent to space on a first ever voyage, and also on board are the stars from the previous film: Ted Striker (Robert Hays), Elaine (Julie Hagerty) and Captain Oveur (Peter Graves). While at first a smooth ride, a faulty computer causes the shuttle to head straight for the Sun.Probably not as popular or as funny as the first movie, but jokes, absurd humor and slapstick comedy are still in abundance. Again, the actors' calm and witty demeanor shy away from the over-the-top and childish funniness you usually find in nonsensical comedies. Like the first film, the occasional off-the-wall events would pop up from time to time, for example, barking suitcases, time bombs for sale, waltzing in space, etc). I also love how the Jive guy explains to the judge Striker's heroic deeds from the first movie, and Murdock's (William Shatner) commanding but space-less demeanor as he tries to send commands to the space shuttle from the space station.Overall, this is a great comedy that will keep you entertained and hooting.Grade A-
