True but what was the point of an evacuation down the slides at that point? What was the urgent danger? Odds are that will cause injuries. Could have waited for stairs to deplane normally.
I remember watching this at the cinema when I was a teenager and found it so exciting! 30 years later when I first flew to Salt Lake City, I couldn't get the movie out of my mind!
AP 75 is a classic. Apparently it has a cult following. Being a kid obsessed with the 747 this was 2 hours of aircraft porn. Beautiful aerial photography
Does Mr. Gashden have a pilot's licence? A Flight Engineer's would be useful. Ground Engineer's licence for that matter: if Mr. Patroni were on board, he would have flying duty instead of the Purser...
Man, that’s a Chuck Heston overload! I saw it on its second run for 50 cents in the summer of ‘75 at an old movie palace in Ocean Grove, NJ. Good memories.
@@daveygivens735 Only in Hollywood can a lowly maintenance chief rise to the position of Operations Manager, then become a private aircraft consultant, and ultimately chief pilot of the Concorde.
I flew in one in 1972. It was one of the first one's Pan Am purchased. And the service on board by the Pan Am stewardesses was top notch. When air travel meant class.
I remember thoroughly enjoying the Airport 1970s film franchise as a kid in the 90s LOL. I still watch these when they come on a random Saturday or Sunday afternoon LOL
I think that the landing gere down scene is the best aviation movie scene in history. The image of this huge and majestic landing gere in association with the music and Heston's titanic acting is my favourite. Great and unforgettable 747!
I completely agree with you. When I saw this film in 74 and the opening shot came up with it majestically entering the frame and slowly revealing itself i sighed. Isn't she beautiful. I LOVE the opening shot of this film.
Because parking brakes are cable operated. A 747 does not come equipped with parking brakes that are cable operated, the brakes are hydraulic and when pressure is lost in the system you can't stop the aircraft. That's why Al Murdock had to depend on the thrust reversers to slow him down enough to stop the aircraft.
Airplane was almost a shot by shot remake of a fifties Canadian drama film-guess how overblown that original film was if the remake utilizing almost the same dialogue, storyline and shooting order is now considered one of the greatest comedy films of all time@@retroguy9494
If you're a plane nut like me this is 2 hours of aircraft porn. Some of the best aerial footage ever shot. The plane photography in this film wastes Airport.
I like how George Kennedy leaps off the helicopter and jumps onto a moving truck. No stuntman. BTW, the landing scene & collision would be reused a few years later in an episode of "The Incredible Hulk" with Bill Bixby.
It was also reused in the short lived TV series "Voyagers!" from 1982, the episode "All Falling Down. I always wondered how they filmed such a scene for a TV show in 1982, then realized it was stock footage a lot of Universal shows used from this Airport movie.

Thats why they named her the Queen of the skies. She truly is the 747's are supposed to be out of service but I see them coming in and going out on a regular basis as Cargo haulers There will never be another like her
Oh my gosh, I remember the disaster movies of the 1970s The other Airport movies The Poseidon Adventure The Towering Inferno The Hindenburg Earthquake in Sensurround
When the 747 makes a hard left at the end of the runway, the gravitational force would have pushed the passengers in the opposite direction (to the right). All the extras swing left in the film. And poor Sid Caesar is about two seconds off from everybody else. He admitted he was so high on pain killers he barely remembered making this film 😮 Still my favorite movie of the 1970s!
This movie gets shit on so much but I've always really loved it. The score is fantastic. The aerial photography is fabulous. This is a total 70's classic.
In all of the exterior shots, the 747 is completely undamaged. When it's on the ground and the passengers are jumping on the slides, you can clearly see that the cockpit is completely intact.
The camera is kept on the portside after the collision. The physical discrepancy is the starboard wing: it is undamaged, along with Engine #Tree. The reel - cheque the spelling - is the altitude; collision at 10,000 feet, starting their descent with a 13,000 foot peak ahead, the private pilot being told that the 747 is in front as opposed to vice versa, Nancy climbing from 9,000 without getting above 10,000, herself turning left whilst Salt Lake City is evidently to the right, the oxygen masks not operating when they pass 11,000. I will assume that the Producers did not employ a Continuity Person. Still and all, do not let facts get in the way of a Good Story... Happy Landings...
I love this movie, I watched it over and over again as a kid and grew up to be a Flight Attendant. I use to go up to the flight deck and say to the guys, "Gee I better look around in case I have to land the plane like Karen Black in Airport 75." They use to give me a look like, "What the hell sick bastard."
Just what the pilots need to hear while their in mid-flight. A flight attendant fantasizing about the entire crew being killed or incapacitated so he can fly the plane.
It would have been a better movie if Heston had Johnny Henshaw helping him in the control room: "Johnny what do you make of this?" "This? Why I could make a broach, or a plane or a pterodactyl...!"
This movie is 5 years older then myself, and although the collision was a bit unrealistic the sad truth is a 747 was lost in a airborne collision over india when it was hit by an iL-76 transport aircraft in 1996 unfortunately no one survived to make an emergancy landing. This was the 2nd most deadliest crash after teneriffe when 2 747's collided on the runway killing over 600 passengers and crew.
When Quantas 32 landed, the Captain did not order the slides deployed, he waited for ladder trucks to come to the plane because going down the slides could result in a serious injury to a passenger. Since the 747 is not in any danger of exploding or catching on fire, it would have been much safer for a controlled departure down stairs for these passengers.
That is strange because every flight I have been on there has always been nuns there. I thought it was a regular thing like pilots and stewardesses, peanuts and crying babies.
@jerico641 They slowed down and decended. This is an an excellent film showing the classic 747 at its best. This is a real aircraft and all of the scenes are real. Just excellent.

Obviously never flew Braniff Airlines ! They were great ! Their airline use bright colors on the planes orange ,blues,reds,yellows,purples...the interiors were stripes, checks,paisley.. Attendants were mod.
I have to wonder if, sometime around 1982 when the Disaster/Airport Flick Era was over, stars like Heston, Newman (McQueen was already dead then), George Kennedy, Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Ava Gardner, Robert Wagner, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Faye Dunaway, Karen Black, Jack Albertson, Stella Stevens, etc. ever got together and compared their various disaster/airport movies from the '70s? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for THAT conversation LOL.
George Kennedy didnt,he carried on and ended up as a priest in the Chuck Norris action flick The Delta Force which featured a plane hijack which he happened to be onboard.
jerico641 ... Steve McQueen died in 1978. He wouldn't be caught DEAD in this turkey. But he was perfectly willing to make the The shitty Towering Inferno the next year.
@@infonut No offense, but McQueen died in 1980. The Towering Inferno was released in 1974. I think McQueen actually selected a pretty good flick to star in when he agreed to TTI. That one and the original Poseidon Adventure I think are the best of the Disaster Flicks; Paul Newman was pretty damn good in TTI too, I thought. Once in a while I like to think back and smile that the catering bill alone for all that high-priced talent was probably 20 times what I made in salary this year...

2023. The airbus380 is taking over. Sad to see that the end is near for the 747. What a beautiful plane it was, and now only used as a cargo carrier.The queen of the sky with her iconic head bump. She could steal the show on evey airport. We all gonna miss her…..
I fell in love with her when i was an aviation obsessed kid. I wanted to fly the 747. She has a presence that other aircraft just don't have. Seeing the opening shot of this film for an aviation obsessed kid was seriously a big deal. The sound of the jet engines and then the slow reveal across the screen. I love this film just because of the opening shot.
You bet it was, I loved 🥰 it from day one to now 🌹💐😍❤️, the beautiful scenery filming through the Wasatch mountain 🏔 range to Salt Lake. Lucky pilots who flew the beautiful 747 through the mountain 🏔 range. Nothing on Earth 🌍 can surpass the 747. One of a Dammmmm kind.😘. Kudos from Alaska 💐🌹
Do know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked in the head? With an iron boot? Course you don't. No one does, it never happens. That's a dumb question, strike from the record.
I was always glad the plane landed and all but I thought it was all anticlimactic but then I guess the writers thought they had already been through enough.
Over 40 years later the 747 is still the star of the show.

I have to wonder if, sometime around 1982 when the Disaster/Airport Flick Era was over, stars like Heston, Newman (McQueen was already dead then), George Kennedy, Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Ava Gardner, Robert Wagner, William Holden, Burt Lancaster, Faye Dunaway, Karen Black, Jack Albertson, Stella Stevens, etc. ever got together and compared their various disaster/airport movies from the '70s? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for THAT conversation LOL.
George Kennedy didnt,he carried on and ended up as a priest in the Chuck Norris action flick The Delta Force which featured a plane hijack which he happened to be onboard.
George Kennedy was in another airplane movie in like 85.
jerico641 ... Steve McQueen died in 1978. He wouldn't be caught DEAD in this turkey. But he was perfectly willing to make the The shitty Towering Inferno the next year.
@@infonut No offense, but McQueen died in 1980. The Towering Inferno was released in 1974. I think McQueen actually selected a pretty good flick to star in when he agreed to TTI. That one and the original Poseidon Adventure I think are the best of the Disaster Flicks; Paul Newman was pretty damn good in TTI too, I thought. Once in a while I like to think back and smile that the catering bill alone for all that high-priced talent was probably 20 times what I made in salary this year...
@@jerico641 ... You are correct. I grovel in mortification. I grovel. That's what I get for not verifying my facts by being to lazy to make a few clicks.
2023. The airbus380 is taking over. Sad to see that the end is near for the 747. What a beautiful plane it was, and now only used as a cargo carrier.The queen of the sky with her iconic head bump. She could steal the show on evey airport. We all gonna miss her…..
I fell in love with her when i was an aviation obsessed kid. I wanted to fly the 747. She has a presence that other aircraft just don't have. Seeing the opening shot of this film for an aviation obsessed kid was seriously a big deal. The sound of the jet engines and then the slow reveal across the screen. I love this film just because of the opening shot.
they stopped making both the A380 and the 747 Too big for the type of air travel in the 21st century
Damn!, the break pressure....
He can't stop her! 😂🤣

Love how Jerry Stiller slept through the whole thing: RIP
Serenity now!
Mr Costanza?
He did have copious amounts of Blue Nun in him.
"Are we here already?" LoL. With Mr. Roper from Three's Company at his side 😂
who was the pilot that flew the AA 747? of course, for the cameras, it was probably the smoothest 747 landing recorded in history!
Donald McBain. It's in the credits.
He really greased her on. Beautiful!
An epic movie indeed. 50 seconds in (can you spot Mr. Roper.)
This was a terrific film!
You bet it was, I loved 🥰 it from day one to now 🌹💐😍❤️, the beautiful scenery filming through the Wasatch mountain 🏔 range to Salt Lake. Lucky pilots who flew the beautiful 747 through the mountain 🏔 range. Nothing on Earth 🌍 can surpass the 747. One of a Dammmmm kind.😘. Kudos from Alaska 💐🌹
@@alaskanactressp30 Agreed 💯 percent!!!!!
Chuck could do anything!
I had a crush on Karen Black for years after this movie
I'll take Jacqueline Bisset from the first Airport movie.
Cant blame you
Was an awesome movie. Karen Black caught my attention the whole time while watching 5his as a kid.
Fantastic perfect landing excellent absolutely amazing jobs
I just to tell both, "good luck, we are all counting on you."
Surely you cant be serious
Someone needed to tell that reporter “It’s a good thing you don’t know how much we hate your guts”
Do know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked in the head? With an iron boot? Course you don't. No one does, it never happens. That's a dumb question, strike from the record.
@@thomasdaniels6824 Don't call me Shirley!
At least Linda Blairs' head didn't spin around!😆😆
Lol😁😁😁😁
I hate that movie. Didn't like the trailer when it came out, that was enough to make me not see it.
that air to air transfer was really cool!
That's one buttered movie landing !!
No. The reason the 747 resembles American Airlines was because AA rented one of their jumbos to the filmmakers to do exterior shots.
CaptainJZH yay becuse back then american flue the 747
CaptainJZH thanks i was wendering why.
CaptainJZH correct
大空港シリーズと猿の惑星シリーズはリアルタイムで見てました。チャールトン・ヘストンの「十戒」「ベンハー」もリバイバルで観ました。
Muy emocionanteairport😮
2022 approaching... I bet they didn't think the magnificent 747 would still be in use !
I was always glad the plane landed and all but I thought it was all anticlimactic but then I guess the writers thought they had already been through enough.
