Trivialidades:

The doctor role was Leslie Nielsen's first comedic part. He later said he was delighted to get the offer, fearing that he was getting too old for anything but "elderly grandfather" parts.

Errores:

Continuidad: During the landing sequence, the plane loses its landing gear and slides down the runway in a shower of sparks. However, the craft is on normal landing gear for the passenger exit sequence. When the auto-pilot steals the plane after Ted and Elaine have their Moment, it's once again sans gear.

Citas:

An Undoubted Classic

Still one of funniest spoof movies ever made, Airplane is one of the first and one of the best around.

Hot Shots, Loaded Weapon even Naked Gun have tried to follow in its footsteps, but they have failed to hit the mark. That's not to say that they are bad movies, just that its difficult to follow a movie of this calibre.

Spoof movies definitely have there place in everyone's collection, but this is probably the best you'll ever see in the genre, if you have never seen it and you fancy a laugh, I can't recommend a better film, even though it has dated; it's still hilarious 9/10
