Where to Watch Airplane!
- cultfilmlikerApril 8, 2026“…and win just one for the Zipper.” I mean, it’s the best parody film ever. Love how much you can see the ZAZ influence in the Wayans’ parodies. There’s no Scary Movie without this, and I’d be lost without that (only slightly kidding) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s fake fourth wall break is one of my favorite things in cinema The sound effects in the bar scene are superb in the theater “My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.“ “When will you be back?” “I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.” A blink and you miss it joke of Stryker having a vulture on his shoulder while he talks to Kramer I’m seeing for the first time! And I know the film pretttttty damn well lol Gonna start tagging every film with a The Wizard of Oz reference, starting with this one Watched at Warren Regal East with my mommy Featured in Slapstick Fantastic
- RecordedsnakeFebruary 24, 2026Airplane! is a great comedy. Packed with rapid-fire jokes, ridiculous sight gags, and perfectly straight-faced performances especially from Leslie Nielsen, it delivers nonstop laughs from start to finish. Silly, clever, and endlessly quotable, it’s a must watch for comedy fans.
