a review of

Airplane! (1980) is a near shot-for-shot parody of this film. The funny thing about it is, despite not being meant as a comedy at all, it's hilarious. The melodrama, they really do slap and shake the panicking lady, and that guy really did pick the wrong week to quit smoking. Love that the original flight is between Winnipeg and Vancouver. And they can't land in Calgary (a semi arid, desert city) because of *fog* fun, short, fun to riff
