Airplane (1980) Vs. Zero Hour (1957). (Side by side, vertical comparison.)

Must've took you a long time to edit this comparison, nice piece of work. We all thank you!

[garynelson]

I loved Airplane when if first came out and I discovered Zero Hour a few years ago. It is so neat to the the scenes side by side. It is really amazing how close to each the movies are. Thanks

LOL.

Would be awesome to have something done like this with a modern movie. Everything now is just too serious.

Thank-you for your service - I had no idea, love Airplane and this was loads of fun to watch!

[postshanna]

This is amazing. It made me appreciate Airplane even more. Thank you.

I have to admit this is news to me. I believed it was all 70 plane films. Clearly it was a wise choice to purchase the script. Based on your edits I would contest their lawyers Assumption of it being it within Fairplay. Great job by the way!

OMG. Mind Blown... Childhood ruined. LOL.. Amazing find. Thanks!

Excellently done sir. Although I would have liked to see Dr Rumak and Brandi saying "it's a different kind of flying" all together.

I love Airplane! I had no idea...Thanks for making this. It is incredible seeing them side by side

[PsyMongazoid]

The makers of Airplane bought the script to Zero Hour to make a parody of it. It's not chance, or plagiarism.

I've seen one of these before, and I still laugh even harder now!

"It's am entirely different kind of altogether."
"It's an entirely different kind of flying."

I remember that time over Macho Grande.
Over Macho Grande? No, not yet.

[stpat]

Zero Hour! was itself a remake of a CBC drama starring James Doohan.

Over Macho Grande
I'll never get over Macho Grande

[jsimpso]

Surprised they didn’t have the line about being in a Turkish prison on Zero Hour

[BOMBON]

Can't imagine how many retakes Airplane were needed to be done vs Zero Hour.

[antonnonym]

I knew it! Colin Firth is a time traveller.

Wasn't there another movie in the mid-70's that also had a similar story line? I think it starred Doug McClure or somebody like that.
