At the Movies w/ Robert & Alex: Airplane 1 & 2

After seeing the Airport movies it was only natural for Alex and I to see the movies that parodied and killed that franchise, the Airplane Movies! And the funny thing is, while it's still proven the first movie is a comedic classic...we don't understand the hatred the second movie gets. I mean it starts off rough but it has its own charm

So many of the actors involved were amazing but no one can top Leslie Neilsen in the first movie nor William Shatner in the second. Both stole the show they were in

Airplane I:

This spoof comedy takes shots at the slew of disaster movies that were released in the 70s. When the passengers and crew of a jet are incapacitated due to food poisoning, a rogue pilot with a drinking problem must cooperate with his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess to bring the plane to a safe landing.

Airplane II: The Sequel

Though haunted by combat memories, heroic pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays) agrees to return to the cockpit to man the controls of Mayflower One, America's first commercial spacecraft. But, as soon as Mayflower One lifts off, an electrical malfunction sends the ship veering off course. A shaken Striker struggles to guide the shuttle through a treacherous asteroid belt, tame its failing computer systems and stop the disgruntled Joe Seluchi (Sonny Bono) from detonating a deadly bomb on board.
