    I think one of the keys to the film is to know that the 70’s was a decade of serious movies about planes and fires and maritime disasters. They’d be packed full of movie and tv stars and sometimes even sports figures. Typically characters were broad “types”, like brainy kids and nuns . They’d pretty much run their course by 1980, so this was a big goofy spoof of all the clichés.

    Another thing you may not be aware of is in the 1970s the "disaster" film was a popular genre, including several high budget airport disaster films.

And we watched it all the time. Great memories w/ this movie. I remember using ladder trucks to get on the plane when I was a kid, probably all depends on which airport, cause I do remember using a jetway in Phx, but using the ladder truck in I think either Tucson or Sacramento. (my grandparents lived in Sacramento and sometimes I'd fly out of Phx and sometimes Tucson to go visit when I was a kid. So maybe big airports all had them? And I remember some of the planes had like a smoking section that looked more like a lounge than these tight little infant seats we get nowadays.

    This movie has so many pop culture references, if you don't know them, you won't get the jokes. I liked that everything was so literal and everyone played it very straight. Leslie Nielsen, who played the doctor, had a drama-based career before this movie. After he did this, his career took off and he became known for his comedies. Both Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges (the 2 older men who talk down the plane) were also known for mainly doing drama, so it was strange seeing them in this very over-the-top comedy.

    Hi James! Glad to see you doing this one. The movie is hilarious, but as I begin your video, I noticed in the comments that you didn't "get" some of the jokes. I'll try to help you out there, a bit. I know there were a lot of "Pop Culture" references made in this movie, and if you lived a sheltered life (growing up and working on a farm qualifies you there), you may not get a lot of them. That's okay. I know how hard farming is, and how much of your life it can take up, especially for a child. I grew up in a large city, and had loads of free time, so I was always in the loop on pop culture.
    3:11 - According to what I have heard, the two arguing over the loud speakers actually worked at there airport doing those announcements, and were married at the time. That's why they were cast, and had the argument.
    3:38 - Back in the 70s, these religious people accosting people for donations was quite common. I forget exactly which year, but during the Reagan years, they were finally banned from doing that.
    4:24 - That still beating hard is only half of the joke. Did you notice all of the jars of mayonnaise on the shelves behind him? They Mayo Clinic was actually a pretty famous institution back in the day.
    5:24 - The guy cleaning the windows and checking the oil is none other than Jimmy Walker. He starred in "Good Times" and was a breakout star because of it. Also, there's no engine under that hood on a real airplane.
    5:55 - No, nor do pilots pay for fuel for the airplane. This was just a sight gag spoofing the Carter era oil crisis.
    6:20 - Yes, you could smoke pretty much everywhere back then.
    6:46 - These two guys were hilarious in their own right. "Urban slang" was called "Speaking Jive", and it confused a lot of people who didn't understand it. I grew up in a racially mixed neighborhood, so I understood a lot of what they were saying.
    7:10 - Glass was still being used because plastic was kinda new at the time. It was starting to make its way into more consumer products, but glass was still the most popular medium for storage. I forget what year you were born, but everything from baby bottles to soda bottles, to, as you can see, medical still used glass.
    8:55 - Another Pop Culture reference. Staying Alive was originally made popular by the movie Grease. John Travolta did a dance number in that movie wearing the exact same suit that he is.
    12:30 - The girl who was the heart transplant patient also played as Captain Stubing's daughter on The Love Boat TV series.
    13:05 - The "Second Cup of Coffee" was a reference to a television ad that was popular at the time. The couple you see here starred in that commercial.
    15:50 - That "and don't call me Shirley" line sparked a bit of pop culture of its own. To this day, people still use that line.
    17:14 - It was 1980. Being an "effeminate" man wasn't socially acceptable at the time. But like you noted earlier, this movie is over the top with its silliness.
    17:43 - Not only playing basketball, but it's on the only major game console at the time, the Atari 2600.
    18:00 - Yeah, but the joke there was that Disco was dying, the guy at the radio station claimed it would live forever, and the airplane knocked the transmission tower over, thus taking Disco off the air.
    Also, a very subtle running joke that you missed, was the sound of the plane's engines. This was a jet plane, but the sound was that from propellor driven planes.
    18:24 - Robert Stack and Lloyd Bridges were both well known "serious/dramatic" actors. This was the first comedy they did, and it translated very well because of their history of "serious" roles.
    21:00 - The movie is "over the top silly". Nothing in it is meant to be taken seriously. It was a spoof of "disaster movies" that were popular at the time. "The Poseidon Adventure", "The Towering Inferno", and the "Airport" movies are prime examples of that type of movie. All star casts, a major disaster they have to deal with, and a resolution. Often, some of the characters didn't make it to the end, because "dramatic effect". With that said, this type of comedy IS an acquired taste. I understand that you're not really into that. But I grew up on "silly comedies" like this with Monty Python, Benny Hill, and the children's shows of the early 1970s. Which were bizarre in and of themselves. I'm going to be doing some videos about them on my "Snarky Gen-Xer" channel in a couple of weeks. My sister is coming to town today, and she tends to keep me busy. She'll be here for a week, so I might be out of the loop while she's here.
    Also, a lot of the pop culture references didn't age well. I'm not sure where you saw "racism" at, the "speaking Jive" was actually a thing back in the 70s. It was common among African-Americans, and only white people who interacted with them regularly could understand it. It was basically "urban-slang". Either you understood it, or you didn't. But that's why sub-titles were included, in case you didn't.

    I'm sad you didn't enjoy it. It's considered a classic to many of us. It's a part of an entire spoof/absurd subgenre of comedy that's not really done anymore. At least not well in my opinion. But in the 70s to early 90, they were very popular.
    You said you don't "get" lots of it, so maybe after you get some more films under your belt you'll appreciate a bit more of what these movies have to offer. Lots of times they have subtle commentaries on society disguised as "bits" that take some time and thought to become apparent. I find it very rewarding to look into them and see what the writers/directions are trying to convey. Especially as these movies continue to age. It really helps give an insight on where we were as a culture.

Whatever you do, though, steer clear of the 90s and 2000s parody movies in this style, they make this movie look like Shakespeare!

    One of the gags that is actually partly true is the pilot using the credit card copier. Granted, it wouldn't happen out the window and would involve an airline company card instead of a personal card. But the basic premise is sound.
    If an airline lands a plane for service at an airport where they don't have a standard contract, the ground service providers would have a system for securing payment authorization on the spot. I worked as a ramp agent and fueler at a major airport for a few years in the 90s and did indeed have interactions like that with pilots from time to time.

So youve pointed out you didnt get a lot of references, i dont think thats not why you liked it though. As a 90s kid i never got most of these references either but even without them i always thought this movie was hilarious. maybe slapstick humor just isnt for you, and thats fine, a lot of people dont like it. If you didnt like this, then personallt i think you shouldnt waste your time with the naked gun because its just more of the same.
    since everyone is making recommendations, may i recommend The Matrix? probably my favorite movie ever. and a total landmark in terms of culture and film. It changed everything.
