I remember seeing this as a kid. I remember thinking that while it was no Airplane it was funny. I recently re-watched it. Not only did I not laugh at most of the jokes, some of them were just painfully unfunny. Seems like better choices in actor and writers could have made this a lot funnier. I suppose to be generous it was only partially spoofing a genre which had only existed for less than half a decade. This seems more like it riffs on the older Universal horror movies.... problem is Mel Brooks had cornered that market with Young Frankenstein. There's a reason this movie is forgotten.
