  1. Here's an interesting notion:

    Airplane! is an autistic movie.

    Ted Striker thinks nothing of infodumping about his love of Elaine... to the point that people set themselves on fire over it.

    A number of times the joke relies on the cast taking something too literally.

    Rumack: [...] This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.

    Elaine: A hospital? What is it?

    Rumack: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

    Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?

    Captain: I can't tell.

    Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.

    Captain: No. I mean I'm just not sure.

    Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?

    Captain: Well, not for another two hours.

    Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
