What movie is this?

[Guest wildpegasus]

Just wondering if anyone knew what movie this was.

 

 

 

I just watched pretty much one scene of it several months ago while flicking channels. In it, a guy is at a disco bar with the "Staying Alive" song playing in the background. The whole bit is a comedy spot where the man in question dressed up in disco clothes is dancing at an impossible 150 degress almost parallel to the ground. Later he gets knifed in the back while dancing and nobody knows what's up because it just looks like he's pulling out disco moves on the floor while trying to get the knife out of his back.

 

Anybody know what movie this is? Seemed to be made in the 80s.

Airplane

You've never seen Airplane!? Dude.

Apparantly not. That one scene did stick with me though as I loved its over the topness.

I never heard of this movie before, either.

 

Airplane? What is it?

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Spoof on '70's airport "drama" movies. Lesley Nielsen is in it, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar plays a pilot, Lloyd Bridges is there, Barbara Billingsley has a role as a "jive tranlator" for 2 black passengers. If you liked the Naked Gun movies, you'll love Airplane!, since the Zucker's made it.

 

Basic plot it that an airplane's crew and passengers gets sick due to the inflight food. Nielsen plays a doctor. Robert Hays is the male lead, who flew planes in the war (and subsequently had a nervous breakdown), so naturally he gets drafted to pilot the plane. His ex-girlfriend, played by Julie Hafferty, is a stewardess. Robert Stack gets called in to guide Hays as he pilots, while Bridges runs the airport.

 

Definite recommend. Very, very funny. There's a sequel, Airplane 2!. Not as good, but still pretty funny.

I would have guessed Naked Gun.

Extreamly sure Rudo's just joking around. I"ve heard of the movie a few times before but have never actually seen it or should I say much of it yet.

The correct answer to "Airplane? What is it?" is "It's a winged vehicle capable of flight and used for transport, but that's not the issue right now"

 

Surely, you didn't believe I never saw the movie before.

I figured has much. It seems right up your alley.

 

Oh and ever seen a grown man naked?

You're not a pilot, you're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

 

Awesome stuff

I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.

I might take some shit for this but I think Airplane isn't as good as either Naked Gun or Top Secret among Zucker movies. Airplane has more clunker jokes and lines, with that one annoying asswipe Stephen Stucker killing every scene he is in.

 

Top Secret is so underrated, I love that movie. Has the most out of nowhere stuff in it, haha.

Nick: *says something in German*

 

*The Gaurd pulls his gun on him*

 

Martin: "What the hell did you say to him?"

 

Nick: "Nothing. I just told him I'd put his name on the Montgomery Wards mailing list."

 

Top Secret is the shit. I liked it better than the Naked Gun movies, and maybe just as much as Airplane.

My favorite Airplane! moment is "All right boys, let's take some pictures!"

Kid: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.

 

Kareem: The hell I don't... Listen kid, I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

The frist time I heard that, I couldn't stop laughing for a good 5 minutes. It just came out of nowhere.

The Robert Stack/Hare Krishnas fight scene had me in tears the first time I saw it.

Voiceman: There's just no stopping in a white zone.

Voiclady: Oh really, Vernon, why pretend, we both know perfectly

well what it is you're talking about. You want me to

have an abortion.

Voiceman: Its really the only sensible thing to do. If its done

properly, therapeutically, there's no danger involved.

God I love Top Secret too, and Airplane and Naked Gun, ZAZ really fell apart after Naked Gun, Though I have a soft spot for Hot Shots Part Duex (only Abrahms put still funny)-

 

Bloodier than Robocop

Bloodier than Total Recall

BLOODIEST MOVIE EVER!!!

on a Naked Gun note: the best part is when Drebin tells the really tall detective (Al is it? the one whose face we never see) that he has something on his mouth...he reaches up and suddenly a huge chunk of banana plops down onto the desk...

I think it's from the sequel, but my favorite part is when they show him painting in the hospital, and a nekkid lady gets up and walks away (giving every indication that he's painting her) and it's really just the flowers next to her that he was painting.

 

/not necessarily my absolute favorite part, but one of them

[Black Lushus 0]

didn't he also paint a picture of a marine holding his leg behind his head while in the middle of battle and that also ended up being a real guy?
