Roger Roger - Airplane! (8/10) Movie CLIP (1980) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
As the plane taxis to the runway, there is confusion among the pilots due to their names.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
This spoof of the Airport series of disaster movies relies on ridiculous sight gags, groan-inducing dialogue, and deadpan acting -- a comedy style that would be imitated for the next 20 years. Airplane! pulls out all the clichés as alcoholic pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hays), who's developed a fear of flying due to wartime trauma, boards a jumbo jet in an attempt to woo back his stewardess girlfriend (Julie Hagerty). Food poisoning decimates the passengers and crew, leaving it up to Striker to land the plane, with the help of a glue-sniffing air traffic controller (Lloyd Bridges) and Striker's vengeful former captain (Robert Stack), who must both talk him down. Along the way, we meet a clutch of stock disaster movie passengers like the guitar-strumming nun, a sick little girl, a frightened old lady, and two African-American travelers whose "jive" has to be subtitled. Leslie Nielsen portrays the plane's doctor, launching a new phase of the actor's career that carried him through the next two decades in several similarly comedic roles. The trio of directors Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker responsible for the film would eventually go on to solo careers, but not before making Top Secret! and Ruthless People.

The joke per minute ratio of this movie is incredible
I don’t think there’s a single shot or interaction that isn’t a joke in some way

[briano]

It’s such a shame that you just can’t find a jet with a manual transmission anymore.

[bumblebee__]

It's pretty cool on how they slipped tiny gags into the film, like how the pilot puts the plane into gear, like a car, and when it left the gate, it made train noises. Later in the film, the plane makes propeller noises, although it's a 707, a _jet_ airliner.

[SHT_THPUMP]

In the movie description-"A traumatized, alcoholic airforce pilot must land the plane with the help of a glue sniffing air traffic controller." LMFAO

[hunterwilder]

"Airplane!" saying "Roger Roger" before "Phantom Menace"

[kingovharts]

LOL....The plane takes off with the door wide open.

[maxmcmahan]

"This is your watch! You might need this!"
"It's alright, it doesn't work!"
Lmfao

[jsteffey]

"Flight 2-0-9-er, you are clear for take off."
"Roger."
"Huh?"
"L.A. Departure frequency: 1-2-3.9-er."
"Roger."
"Huh?"
"Request vector, over."
"What?"
"Flight 2-0-9-er, clear for vector 3-2-4."
"We have clearance, Clarance."
"Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"
"Tower's radio clearance, over!"
"That's Clarance Oveur, over."
"Roger."
"Huh?"
"Roger, over."
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Who?"

XD The best comedy writing ever.

[baronbrrrrett]

I still love how they got Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in this movie 😂

[MarttiSuomivuori]

I cannot believe it, these jokes are still around. They will never die.

[CardinalKid]

You are clear for clearance, Clarence.

Roger Roger. What's your vector, Victor?

[zaltaire]

Everything about this movie, sounds or visions, is hilarious. Have to watch multiple time in a row to see and hear everything the Zucker bros. put in it lol. For example ... anyone notice how the pilot is speeding the plane up off the runway? It's a standard transmission shaft from a car! LMAO!!!

[AverageAlien]

The steam locomotive noises get me everytime

[MarcG]

Peter Graves ( the pilot) was known for suspense and action movies like Mission Impossible to see him do this was hilarious at the time

[Thedamo]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the greatest line known to man. It's just one word: "Huh"!. A great athlete in this movie. Kareem, u the man!! #Kareem = The man.

[WRjockey]

One of my favorites: "We have clearance, Clarence." "Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"

[notlikely]

Always reminds me of my Army time in Germany....with a guy who's last name was Morgan

Poor guy went nuts...

[ssj]

Almost every time I fly, I say this under my breath as we are about to take off. If the person next to me gives a little knowing chuckle, a know it's gonna be a good flight.

[trentonjones]

You can see it in Peter Graves' face that he's holding back laughing when he shifts the plane into gear. What a classic

[JaziB]

"It's alright! It doesn't work!" might be the funniest moment in this movie.
