Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit this awesome movie!!!

Airplane is one of the best American comedies. It is time when the most vocal people are politically correct, this movie is a breath of fresh air because there is nothing politically correct about this movie, and it results in outrages laughs. This movie is a spoof of the disaster movies of the 60s and 70s; even if one is not familiar with that genre's formula, the movie still contains numerous laughs. The movie looks and sound great on Blu-ray. The Special Features are not memorable but I did not buy this movie for the Special Features.

If you haven seen Airplane! you are not a fan of comedy! I am not going to review the film itself, only the new Disc features and packaging; This is what you get: A beautiful Glossy Steelbook. A new transfer sourced form a 4K remaster that was supervised by Directors Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker. (Same exact disc as the "Paramount Presents" Line disc. A Digital copy of the film. (Reports indicate it redeems in 4K, NOT includes in the "Paramount Presents" Line disc. NEW! Filmmaker Focus: Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker on Airplane! (9 mins.), NEW! Q&A With the Directors of Airplane! (35 mins.). NEW! Isolated Score Track and the previously released Audio Commentary. What you DON'T get: The Long Haul Version: In this mode, viewers will be prompted from within the film to click an icon to view "deleted scenes, interviews, and more." The Trivia Track and Theatrical Trailer.

The classic 1980 comedy is now on Blu-ray and looking and sounding better than ever. This movie relaunched Leslie Nielsen's career from a serious actor to a comedian. The plot is a airplane flight from L.A. to Chicago is doomed when food poison incapacitates the crew and some of the passenge.A war pilot with PTSD and his ex girlfriend (the stewardess) fly across the country to save everyone on the plane. You'll be laughing constantly.

I like this movie because it features many really funny scenes and jokes. My favorite parts are when the young girl states that she likes her coffee black and when the airport tower manager states that he picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. This movie would be rated PG-13 by today's standards, so it may not be suitable for children under 13. There is some brief nudity and probably a half dozen adult-themed references. The group that will get the most out of this will be those aged 30-50, who grew up with the Airport disaster movies and like good sarcasm.

An absolute classic released in a steelbook! As I've always thought, steelbooks should stand out from the regular releases. While the artwork presented on this release is nothing too spectacular, it's perfectly appropriate with its minimal, un-busy presentation that lets the film speak for itself. This release in steelbook has all the solid desires; steel spine, strong spindles, great look and feel.

Airplane! is one of the great comedies of all time. This 40th Anniversary edition has a really good transfer, and some good new special features. I am not a fan of SteelBooks, but this is worth buying for the reasons above. However, you should keep the previous Bluray because the special features from the old one didn't get carried over.

Considered as a satire of Airport '77 and a few other films, this became considered one of the best parodies ever made. With a great cast and some terrific amount of jokes an puns, it's no wonder why fans and critics declare this as one of the funniest parodies. Blu-ray: expecting a crystal-clear quality from this release? Not gonna happen. What it shows though is the best that the studio can remaster, and close to the source material. Extras are a bit sparse, but don't buy it for the extras or any other fancy stuff: buy it for the film! Highly recommended.

This film (hard to believe it’s a 40th anniversary) at the time of its release was a pioneer in the pun-laden genre of farcical take offs of disaster movies, and the silliness is infectious and remains a high point in hilarity at more than a laugh a minute. A great collectible steel book worthy of a place in your library.

Had this shipped to me and BB used a mailer envelope. Steel looked good until I took off the shrinkwrap and saw a massive dent under the J Card. Thankfully the Best Buy in Bangor did me a huge solid by allowing me to swap it out for one in mint condition. So...thank you Bangor! You guys rock.

The movie speaks for itself so I will focus on the bluray disc itself. I can sum it all up easily in one sentence, "If you own the DVD there is not much gained from the bluray.", the video quality of the bluray does show a hair more detail and better color than the DVD and the audio is only a hair better. Every upgrade from the DVD is subtle and the video transfer could have easily been better but it appears they used an aged transfer that was made for the DVD release.

Love old comedy movies. This one is a classic in my book. Yes it is dated and corny by today's standards. Still get a few chuckles out of watching it now and then. I guess I picked a bad time to write a review.

This is a parody movie of all the airline disaster movies of the 70s. It is hilarious and filled with tons of gags and side jokes. S huge ensemble cast and lots of surprise cameos.

Still considered one of the funniest movies of all time, Airplane! is a must have. This blu-ray was derived from a new 4K scan, and while not a 4K disc, look as good as it can be. It wasn't high art with great cinematography, it was all about the laughs.

One of the greatest comedy films of all time, with timeless jokes (even if some are in slightly poor taste by today's standards). The steel is bright, fun, and quirky, just like the wonderful movie it contains. One of the best versions of this classic!

This is an all-time classic comedy. Leslie Nielsen and company are as funny today as they were 40 years ago. Some of the jokes may not have aged well in these PC days but anyone with a reasonable sense of humor will not be offended.

Great picture. I own multiple copies of this movie on DVD, Bluray, special editions, but this version has the sharpest and cleanest picture of them all. One of the all time funniest and most quoted movies ever!

A classic comedy with a new 4K scan. The picture and audio was very strong on my UHD TV. The only minor issue is the lack of some earlier bonus features that were not carried over so I had to keep the older disc I had meant to replace.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you. I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you. I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you. I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

For those tired of the awful, modern parody movies you see like "Disaster Movie," watch "Airplane!", but if you've already seen it, re watch it. Not only does this film parody disaster movies, it has tons of memorable one-liners, puns, timing, deadpan delivery, slapstick, and just has many different comedy styles! There are jokes aplenty in this comedy!
