A great follow on - By: N. Clarke, 04 Jan 2008 
I love the original & I asked for this for christmas. I wasnt disappointed. From the star wars beginning to the end, the gags & movie parodies kept coming. It was good they brought back the main characters, but great that they got some of the passengers into it, whether in the courtroom flashback or in the shuttle.
The best bit for me was when one of the people in the space station is talking to William Shatner through what appears to be a TV screen, until he opens the door & steps through it. Great slapstick.
Danger Vaccum! - By: Mr. Matthew C. Wolski, 01 Jan 2005 Class sequel. Despite the fact that the writers & directors of the first one arent involved with this one, this has just as many classic & quotable moments. Lloyd Bridges staggering around air traffic control drunk, William Shatner asking for Ted Striker's record & being given TED STRIKER'S POLKA FAVOURITES LP & the classic elevator music that deafens evetybody withing the lift except for two guys who carry on chatting & are able to hear each other over the din. Best bit for me is when Striker encounters a door on the space shuttle marked DANGER VACCUM & suddenly finds himself wrestling with a rampant hoover to the most dramatic of music. Its dumb humour but ar its very best.
On a higher plane than then the original - By: B. Chandler, 14 Dec 2004 This is a more futuristic version of the original Airplane movie with A few different people & a few different jokes while keeping to the original formula.
The German dubbed version still has English subtitles available. I am not sure how the jokes translate but the dubbed voices as a new layer of fun.
Not as surprising as the first Airplane, but still worth watching. People who made their living being heroes including Lloyd Bridges (Sea Hunt), Leslie Nielsen (Forbidden Planet), Raymond Burr (Perry Mason), now let their hair down in this thought provoking sequel.
This may have contributed to the conversion of William Shatner from Captain Kirk (Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 28: The City on the Edge of Forever) to "The Big Head" on 3rd Rock from the Sun. I am waiting for the collection of his commercials to be published.
A hilarious follow up from Airplane - By: , 08 Mar 2001 This time round David Zucker sends the Airplane crew in to space for another hilarious ride. One may be dissapointed to find Leslie Nielson does not star in this sequel, his replacement, you may be surprised to find out, is William Shatner (Kirk from Star Trek!). Shatner plays a hilarious role although the film still lacks something with Nielson missing. Many of the jokes are the same but DO work. Once again, you will find yourself watching this over & over again!
A soaring sequel! - By: , 29 Nov 2000 Airplane II is one of the funniest - if not the funniest - comedy sequels of alll time. Not only are new gags introduced, but some of the old ones from the first movie also make an appearance (for example, Ted's "drinking problem") - & yet they still work! The original cast is still there, & not one person cast incorrectly, although the incredibly camp Johnny can get a little irritating! The jokes are perhaps not quite as good as the first movie, but at the end of the day, do you reallly care?! If you've already seen this movie, then you know what I'm talking about, if not, then what are you waiting for? You won't regret this one!
