this film be an absolute disgrace . i thoroughly enjoy the original airport and and i can not believe how the same people could produce this twaddle nine year on . first of all and the acting be bad . the original have actor who have do quality ( non disaster ) film before and but this one use actor who have do the disaster movie circuit already ( blakely and kennedy and wagner ) . also and george kennedy character patroni seem to get promoted very quickly . he be now the lead in the film and but his character isn not strong enough to carry it off represent he have lose the charm and humour of airport ( 1970 ) and and the character be now just bore . have i mention the plot . be it at all believable that someone would send a missile after the concorde . no . there be also too many loose end while scene that have no relevance whatsoever to the plot . the scene where the hot air balloon land on the runway and the chase of the thief in charles de gaulle airport be two such scene . both would be interest if only they have something to do with the actual story . there also many unanswered question represent why do patroni open the window and fire a flare at the other plane . why do robert wagner character kill himself . ( he must have another stupid and costly way of why be there no enquiry after the missile almost blow up the concorde . why be the back projection so bad . ( it look a though a cartoon missile be follow the concorde while although it do work well when the plane land in paris ) why do patroni think that he be in a flight simulator . ( when he turn the concorde over ) why do he get a hero welcome in the cabin of the plane after have terrify the passenger . and why be the end so poor and if it can be call an end at all . give their one dimensional ness and no one seem to notice this . the bless give to the young couple on the plane by the girl coach be shmaltzy and the man who play the saxophone be annoy and and the woman with the bladder problem be just plain silly . the scene where susan blakely be lie on the roof of her conservatory and and the when she tell wagner that she still love him be quite awful . in conclusion and this film should have be the climax of the previous three airport film represent instead it be a diabolical and sub moronic and complete and utter waste of time and money and energy and celluloid and talent . remember when patroni ask the french pilot if he have ever land on his belly . this film certainly do the belly flop and and land flat on it pointy nose .
