Amazon.co.uk Review
Though most of the stars got back together for IAirplane II: The Sequel/I, the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team passed the torch to new writer-director Ken Finkleman, who manages to reprise the style of the original quite well but is, as perhaps expected, more or less one-third as funny. The premise, alarmingly similar to the dead-straight contemporary IStarflight One/I, is that the first commercial passenger shuttle to the moon has I2001/I-style computer hassles en route and finds itself headed straight through an asteroid belt into the sun. Cracked-up test pilot Robert Hays and promoted-from-stewardess technical expert Julie Hagerty have to save the day, despite panicking passengers, inept ground staff, complicated trauma flashbacks, deadpan one-liners and deliberately dodgy special effects. Leslie Nielsen is glimpsed only in footage from IAirplane/I that sets up an extended slapping-the-hysterical-passenger gag redone (into the ground) here, but Lloyd Bridges and Stephen Stucker return as the overly-intense airport crisis controller and his happy-go-lucky gay sidekick. There are sterling cameos in the patented agonisingly serious mode from Raymond Burr (a judge), Chuck Connors (cigar-tossing fire chief), William Shatner (who gets the best sight gag) and Sonny Bono (impotent mad bomber). Back in the early 80s, it was still possible to do mild gags about paedophilia (not only Graves's chumminess with the cute kid who visits the cockpit, but also the priest looking at the centrefold of IAltar Boy/I magazine) but aside from some incidental naked breasts, the humour is a touch cleaner than in the first film. Hays and Hagerty are better than the material, and it's all over swiftly enough--the film clocks in at 75 minutes before the slow, padded end credits--to avoid wearing out your patience. The end title promises an IAirplane III/I, but we're still waiting. The 1.78:1 widescreen ratio of the DVD allows you to see gags in the corners of the frame that would be cropped in a full-screen transfer. --IKim Newman/I

4 out of 5 stars A great follow on   January 4, 2008
I love the original and I asked for this for christmas. I wasnt disappointed. From the star wars beginning to the end, the gags and 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.br /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 and steps through it. Great slapstick.


4 out of 5 stars Danger Vaccum!   January 1, 2005
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Class sequel. Despite the fact that the writers and directors of the first one arent involved with this one, this has just as many classic and quotable moments. Lloyd Bridges staggering around air traffic control drunk, William Shatner asking for Ted Striker's record and being given TED STRIKER'S POLKA FAVOURITES LP and the classic elevator music that deafens evetybody withing the lift except for two guys who carry on chatting and 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 and suddenly finds himself wrestling with a rampant hoover to the most dramatic of music. Its dumb humour but ar its very best.


4 out of 5 stars On a higher plane than then the original   December 14, 2004

This is a more futuristic version of the original Airplane movie with A few different people and a few different jokes while keeping to the original formula.pThe 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.pNot 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. brThis 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.


4 out of 5 stars A hilarious follow up from Airplane   March 8, 2001
  0 out of 4 found this review helpful

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 and over again!


4 out of 5 stars A soaring sequel!   November 29, 2000
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Airplane II is one of the funniest - if not the funniest - comedy sequels of all 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") - and yet they still work! The original cast is still there, and 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 really 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!
