David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker – „Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug“ (1980)

Es gibt Filme, die haben einen Plot. Und es gibt „Airplane!“ Was David Zucker, Jim Abrahams und Jerry Zucker hier 1980 veranstaltet haben, war kein freundliches, harmloses Parodieren für ein Teenagerpublikum. Es war ein Frontalangriff auf Autorität, Pathos und die sakrale Aura eines Flugzeug-Cockpits. Spoiler: Absolut alles ist immer auch Bühne. Und niemand unter den Anwesenden verlässt den Film unversehrt. Mich hat er für ein ganzes Leben deformiert. Ich habe es genossen! (ARD, Wh.)

If you believe the words of the late Leslie Nielsen -- and surely you do -- the secret to the success of "Airplane!" was the genius casting of very serious actors in roles that had them saying very funny things.
