Summary: Wait! You could be disappointed!
Review: Airplane 2 is a friggin awesome movie, but the DVD is horrible. Many key scenes that move the plot along are missing such as what Sonny Bono is doing on the flight in the first place and why Simon leaves the ship half through the flight. The editors for this DVD version were asleep at the wheel and have left us with a bad version to view. DVD fans that were waiting on this film need to wait longer for a better version. Stick with your VHS copy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simons turned to jelly!!
Review: Airplane II is just as funny as the first. This time, they're not on a plane, but a lunar shuttle. Elaine has a new boyfriend, Simon (who later turns to jelly), and Ted Striker wants her back.
The jokes are similar to the first - which makes it even funnier.
Elaine is on the speaker to the passengers telling them the lunar shuttle is off course just "a tad" and someone asks what exactly a "tad" is, and she replies "90000000 miles and we're heading straight for the sun!" which causes chaos... Funny stuff!

If you liked airplane, you'll love airplane II..

Summary: Comedy Genius: The Sequel
Review: Another fantastic movie. Airplane! was fabulous this one was almost just as good. Instead of a plane we have a space shuttle and this is set in futuristic times. One thing this movie missed was the presence of Leslie Nielsen(except in a flashback from the first movie). Once again I'd have to say Stephen Stucker had many of the movies funniest lines in his role as Jacobs. William Shatner replaces Robert Stack in the role of talking Striker down...however I think Stack was a little better. Nevertheless this is a very, very funny movie. Keeps you laughing from the beginning to the end.

Summary: Ouch...Airplane II pains me.
Review: No audio commentary to find out what the director was thinking...Airplane II is a travesty. Even if the movie hadn't hastily re-staged almost all the same jokes, excluded the presence of Leslie Nielsen, and generally just sucked...it gets major horror points for having, at least on the VHS copy, a short animation after the credits saying "Coming Next Year from Paramount Pictures: Airplane III!" Obviously, someone thought it was going to be a hit...they were wrong. I honestly laughed once at this film, at the classic viewscreen gag performed by William Shatner. What a waste of a lot of people's time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The haters don't get it, this movie rules
Review: In reading the list of reviews posted here, it's clear that many who have reviewed this film, just plain don't get it. For starters, Airplane One is perhaps the greatest comedy every made. To put this movie down by comparing it to the original is like saying every new film that comes out stinks because it's not quite as good as Citizen Kane.

The second mistake people make is to point out the places where this movie continues jokes from Airplane 1. These items are re-used for one simple reason, BECAUSE THEY WERE HILARIOUS!!! One thing to remember is that in '80 & '82, VCRs and rental stores had not completely taken root in popular culture. When this movie came out in 1982, it's not like the fans of the first had been sitting around watching the video over and over again for a year leading up to it-- They had been sitting around for two years talking about the funniest movie they had ever seen. They continued the humor in the same way that Saturday Night Live did A LOT more than ONE episode of Hans and Franz, or Chris Farley's motivational speaker.

If you buy this movie, just watch it, and enjoy it; not for what it isn't, but what it is. Slapstick has never been done as well as in the two Airplane movies.

"Check it bleed, the bro was ON! Didn't trip, but the folks was freakin' man! Hey, and the pilots were laid to the bone, holmes! So blood hammered out and jammed jip, sheeeeet...Tighented that bad sucka 'side the runway like a mutha... Sheeeet (golly)."

Summary: Airplane 2 is amazing!
Review: You know what they say about sequels, they arent as good as the first one was. Well, this movie is an exception. It might even be better than the first airpane movie. You will be laughing histerically after you see this movie. A great thing about this movie is that it never gets old, and you can always find jokes that you didn't see the first time. You just cant go wrong with buying this movie. Just rent or buy it and see what i mean.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Awful
Review: This film has so many gags its borrowed from the first one, including the man who talks, and what he's really saying is in subtitles, lights blinking out of sequence, "but that's not important now," people lining up to hurt a girl in the same way that they did in the "pull yourself together" sequence from the first, Billy and the cockpit, Ted's fear of flying with the editing fade technique showing and airplane flying and the fear on Ted's face, although in different circumstances, the airplane going through a big glass window, instead of smearing lipstick, this time shaving cream, and plenty more. The actual new jokes weren't very funny eaither, including "I've never been with a man," and the E.T. parody where he tells the operatore to phone home, and she says "please insert 3 million dollors for the first five minutes," the bomb, not not a bu, a bomb. Don't go to the bathroom in this one-you might miss the thirty seconds of funny original funny scenes. The first one was in my top five list for best comedies ever with the likes of Blazing Saddles and Duck Soup, but this is terrible. If this was the first Airplane, there wouldn't be a sequel. The dvd's only extras are scene selection and widescreen. It is in a very distorted monophonic sound, but the picture is better that the original Airplane. But does it even matter? Thank you for taking the time to read my review and God Bless America!

Summary: Shameful failed attempt at duplicating a classic
Review: Are you easily amused by recycled jokes that aren't up to par? If so buy this movie. If you demand quality then watch only the original Airplane.

Instead of fresh new comedy this sequel attempts to RECYCLE old jokes from the original. Examples: More decaff coffee jokes, tossing cigarettes that blow up in the background, the scene where everyone lines up to slap sense into the woman who is having a breakdown. Who wrote this [stuff] script? A check of the credits reveals that apparently the original authors of the original Airplane (Abrahams, David and Jerry Zucker) may not have even contributed to this film. Paramount should be ashamed of this. The lowest low is when an attempt is made to recycle the infamous opening of Airplane, when the recorded voices are heard arguing over "the red zone is for loading and unloading..." This occurs at 32:20 into the film if you must see a bad, awful attempt to recycle a joke.

The original "Airplane" is a slapstick comedy classic. This sequel is a classic example of why hastily slapped together sequels rarely work.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HIGH-ADVENTURE WITH SUPERIOR SPECIAL EFFECTS!
Review: Apart from THE CONCORDE - AIRPORT '79, this is my favourite film of the series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Say It Isn't So, Joe?"
Review: Two words: not funny.

While the task was daunting -- if not impossible, the studio tried to follow-up the incredible success of AIRPLANE! ... but, instead, they ran out of air after the opening credits. Largely unfunny, the same cast from AIRPLANE! is brought back together to face the monumental task of delivering the same jokes. Don't waste your time, your money, or any brain cells on this horrible stinker.
