“I speak jive” should have ranked much higher. I blame political correctness on the part of the reviewers.

I remember when “Airplane” was released telling my husband that it would be a flop because “that actor that never smiles” was in it,meaning Nielson,of course.

He had always been cast as a serious,successful.grim,man-in-charge type.

Boy,was I wrong.

Semi-spoiler: the actress who played the "I speak Jive" lady...

was none other than Barbara BIllingsley -- Beaver Cleaver's mother.

When he broke the type-casting of a serious guy he had for so long, the shock of it made his stuff that much funnier.

I think my favorites are, in no particular order...

- Have you ever seen a grown man naked? Do you like gladiator movies?

- The lovers quarrel over the airport loudspeaker.

- I can make a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl!

- The jive translator.

- I picked a bad week to quit....

- The whole Kareem exchange. It really was a brilliant cameo.

They missed an opportunity. At the end, they should have had Howard Jarvis get on the radio and try to get another cab. Then the dispatcher gets on and says, ‘Sir, what are trying to do?’ Howard says, ‘I’m trying to raise taxis.’

God bless the internet. Without it. We don’t get this.

Long live the internet.

I loved the movie. I often wonder if Airplane or Blazing Saddles (for example) could be made today.

I miss the days when we could make fun of ourselves.
