actually there be nothing funny about this monstrosity at all . this movie be a complete abomination . the absurdity in this movie almost make me want to vomit . i think that the people responsible for this movie take advantage of their viewing audience . they take a relatively decent series of movie ( i do say decent and not good . ) and totally trash it by try to put money in their pocket . the making of airplane . be a way for hollywood to make up for this crappy flick . the bad part about it be that either nobody in 1979 realize the asinine event of the movie ( such a concorde door pop off at some ungodly high altitude or patroni shoot a flair gun out the window at mach 2 to avoid a nuclear warhead . what be they think . ) be totally unrealistic or they just do not care . i think that it be the latter of the two . the writer and director of this film and if you want to call it that and really try to suck the airport dynasty dry with this crap .
