Synopsis:
Stryker ends up on a doomed flight and must overcome his fear of flying, his drinking problem and a tremendous overabundance of puns and sight gags.
Reaction:
A pretty basic plot but the real point here is the sheer number of gags being thrown up on the screen.

Trivia:
All the exterior shots of the plane while flying use a sound track of a propeller plane although it is a jet because the studio would not let the producers use a propeller plane in the movie. Final film of `~496~`. The film is mostly a parody of @%Zero Hour!%@, a film that had a main character named Ted Stryker and such famous "not meant to be funny" lines like "We have to find someone who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner." According to `~478~` and the Zuckers on the DVD commentary, the film was originally written to be a "movie within a movie" for a sequel to @%The Kentucky Fried Movie%@, but when the movie was aborted, they expanded the story to this full-length feature. In the Italian version, the talk between the two black passengers was dubbed in Neapolitan dialect. Otto, the automatic pilot, ultimately disintegrated after spending several years in @%`~477~`%@'s garage. To get the film green-lighted by Paramount, `~478~`, `~476~` and `~477~` pitched it as "@%Animal House%@ on a plane"--which, of course, was far from the truth, but the only way they could get the studio execs to understand it was a zany comedy. In a 2008 interview on the Today Show, `~482~` said he was initially insulted and offended by the script for @%Airplane!%@, but was convinced by friends and colleagues to do the movie. In a 2008 interview on @##The Today Show##@, `~480~` told the story of being on a European flight and asked to sit in an empty seat in the cockpit during takeoff so the crew could say they flew with Roger Murdoch. The film's title in Argentina was @%And where is the pilot?%@ (in Spanish: @%¿Y donde está el piloto?%@)
