  2. Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, Jerry Zucker – „Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug“ (1980)

    Es gibt Filme, die haben einen Plot. Und es gibt „Airplane!“ Was David Zucker, Jim Abrahams und Jerry Zucker hier 1980 veranstaltet haben, war kein freundliches, harmloses Parodieren für ein Teenagerpublikum. Es war ein Frontalangriff auf Autorität, Pathos und die sakrale Aura eines Flugzeug-Cockpits. Spoiler: Absolut alles ist immer auch Bühne. Und niemand unter den Anwesenden verlässt den Film unversehrt. Mich hat er für ein ganzes Leben deformiert. Ich habe es genossen! (ARD, Wh.)

  4. Even if I don't participate in the #comedon #watchparty this week (and it's probable that I won't because of things and stuff) you should. Why? Because @greenpepper22 is kicking off a three week Naked Gun party!

    What better way to get started for the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson than going back and watching the classic trilogy? (No, the Liam Neeson one isn't called Naked Gun Episode One: The Phantom Menace, but if I had my way it would be.)

    Leslie Nielson, which almost rhymes with Neeson, was nothing short of brilliant in his deadpan portrayal of Detective Frank Drebin who, for the record, was not at all like Commander John J. Adams who he portrayed in the 1956 sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet.

    Don't get confused, because the #comedon movie is The Naked Gun, which would be an entirely inappropriate watch party tag for Forbidden Planet. They are not remotely connected movies. Even the soundtracks are different. No, OJ Simpson wasn't in Forbidden Planet. You're thinking of Capricorn One. But he was in two of the three Naked Gun movies. It was a different time. As is every time that isn't this time.

  5. Tonight in 1982 — POLICE SQUAD! debuted on ABC.

    The funniest thing I've ever seen on network TV, by a wide margin.

  6. 🚨 In Legion of the Lost (The Streets of San Francisco, 1973), Mike Stone (Karl Malden) goes undercover as a ‘member’ of a fraternity of drunks after a spate of murders among the homeless. Features Leslie Nielsen & Dean Stockwell.

  8. I found a curious connection in 1956: That year #LeslieNielsen starred in Forbidden Planet and #JamesDoohan--a WWII infantryman and pilot who a decade later played Scotty on #StarTrek--starred in a Canadian live television play called Flight into Danger; the following year, it was remade a few times, including into a 1957 feature film called Zero Hour!, which was parodied in the 1980 film Airplane!, starring Leslie Nielsen.

    Also, before creating Star Trek, #GeneRoddenberry had been an airline pilot for #PanAm and in 1947 crashed in the Syrian desert.
