The 1982 sequel to Airplane! is basically more of the same class-clown ironies but with a more forced feeling to the jokes. In the first film, veterans such as Peter Graves, Robert Stack, and Lloyd Bridges were feeling their way through self-parody, and the air of experimentation was part of the fun. By this film, however, everybody knows what's up, and the assuredness of new cast members Raymond Burr, William Shatner, and Chuck Connors is almost counterproductive. Still, there's lots to laugh about. --Tom Keogh

4 out of 5 stars Good Movie - Funny Jokes - Something Missing ???.......2007-06-28

I loved the first Airplane! and this was pretty good too :) But something was missing from this to take it to the top of my movie list. Maybe Leslie Neilsen not being in the cast had something to do with it but overall this movie is a great Saturday night treat :)

A lot of the jokes are funny and I love the physical and visual gags that they do just like in the original.

Overall I'd say rent it, buy it cheap, or watch it on TV. If you liked the first you'll probably like this one too, but as with my suggestion when watching Monty Python's Holy Grail, you might want to be high when you watch it

3 out of 5 stars Not a bad sequel, but Shatner scenes overrated.......2007-01-22

Of course, "Airplane 2" isn't quite as good as the first film, but it's still amusing, and short. I think its running time is less than 90 minutes. My favorite character in the movie is Chad Everett playing that stereo-typical disaster movie character, the guy who "cut corners" and caused the mishap. He said something like, "Striker, they made me cut corners on those designs." And Striker punches him. Earlier in the movie he says something like, "Striker, I'd watch my step if I were you." Then he finally turns to jelly...literally.

And the only thing I didn't like about this film is William Shatner. Everybody seems to love him in this film, but I've never found Shatner funny when he tries to do this kind of comedy. His humor always seemed forced and overdone. Comedy doesn't flow out of him smoothly and naturally like it does out of say, Leslie Nielsen. Now there's a funny guy. Lloyd Bridges was way funnier than Shatner, too. I love Shatner as Kirk, but in comedic roles, no.

5 out of 5 stars funny movie.......2007-01-19

another good movie, you can watch this many times without getting tired of it. Lots of jokes, play on words.

Very dissapointed, but then sequels are very seldom better than the origional. I can highly recommend the origional, one of the funniest flying movies ever

5 out of 5 stars Airplane 2.......2006-08-28

You'll laugh your [...] off. It sends up the 60s, the 70s, the 80s (which were just beginning), pop culture, sci-fi, sequels, and its predecessor. I thought it was funnier than the original. Some people didn't. It's not important. It's hilarious. That's important. It's a keeper, same as the first movie. You know you'll watch it over and over again and find things you missed before.
