Had to watch #AirplaneTheMovie the other night for old times sake. It's just one of those milestones of silliness of that age.The plane is a passenger jet, dubbed repeatedly with prop plane engine noises in flight throughout. The little incongruities people often miss are some of the funniest parts. Low budget accidents...or were they ? There are a few we will never know

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?
