The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

So I watched it all the way through for the first time last year.

So. So. Dated.

I mean clearly I should have watched it forty years ago when I was a spermoid, then I probably would have got the jokes better.

I loved it as well as Airplane 2.

More recently, I thought Angie Tribeca had a similar feel to the Airplane movies and the Naked Gun movies, just more modernized. I really enjoyed that show.

True. Flashback scenes suck.

Also, other than maybe the Japanese soldier, none of the racial humor was really offensive.

Idk, I feel like the only thing in it that truly dates it is the Yuban coffee joke, otherwise I can see every scene in that movie being done in the early 2010s even.
I never knew that was a reference! Still hilarious even without the reference for my fiance and I

the first jive scene and the one with the old white woman are funny. i just didn't find the africa one funny, just awkward

I didn't realize until long after seeing it that "Airplane!" was an almost exact, scene-for-scene parody of a disaster film drama called "Zero Hour!" Same characters, same plot, even a good bit of the dialog.

And yes, they even stole the exclamation point for the title.

It really is quite surreal to watch Zero Hour and see the joke lines played completely straight

I didn't mind it - but honestly, I enjoyed Nielsen's other comedies far more (I know Airplane isn't really his, but still) - Police Squad was one of the best shows on TV and it continued into Naked Gun.

To the extent that they bought the rights to it to be able to use as much as they wanted.

the first jive scene and the one with the old white woman are funny.

The woman in question was famous for playing the mom in one of those old time, wholesome TV shows called Leave It to Beaver. Its a part of the joke thats completely lost on younger viewers.
