I don't get why this only has a 5.9 average on IMDb. It is just as funny as the original. Yes, they are very simiar, but the spaceship angle made it feel different enought o be enjoyed on its own merit. To say that it is a bad movie because it is too similar to a good movie seems weird to me.Warrison
Its a special kind of humour this. I loved this just as much as the original!Earring72
More of the same sequel. Ente4taining but not as funnyMaxBG
I liked it at the time but now when I think of it, it just has the same jokes as the first movie and doesn't add many new ones either.MrE2Me
I do not understand how this made it onto the "greatest sequels" list. It's terrible by any standard, but especially compared to the first film.sushantv10
i saw this one before seeing the original so enjoyed it a lot...stevekimes
You might as well watch the first Airplane! again. Pretty much the same jokes.Siskoid
For me, Airplane II:The Sequel is on par with the original. It's not as groundbreaking, but it packs in more jokes (whether they all fly is up to you) and has fewer of the kind that annoyed me in the first one (it's less racist, for example). And for genre fans, this is the one that spoofs various science fiction movies of the era, sporting the Battlestar Galactica theme for some reason, but hitting Star Wars, E.T. 2001, and Star Trek along the way. In fact, I thought William Shatner was in this more, but his bits are pretty great. He joins Bridges and Graves as the great deadpan comedians to have graced these movies with their talents. We see a lot of characters return from the original either at Robert Hays' trial, or in the main plot, which has Ted and Elaine once again have to save a plane from disaster, except this time it was headed to the Moon. Audiences at the time probably enjoyed the repeated gags (there would have been two years between their experiences), but watched back to back, there's a staleness there. But enough new material not to feel too repetitive, at least until the curtain call that plays like the movie's greatest hits.metermouse
yeah this was pretty much a re-enactment of the first movie... but it was still funny, and the whole spaceship angle was just absurd but in a good way.
