Airplane! "Don't Call Me Shirley" Edition

[missmacinthorpe]

Since the thread about my pics went way off the subject to "Top Secret!", I thought I'd start a new thread about the new DVD version of "Airplane!" There are (some) deleted scenes (still not all of the scenes from the TV version), interviews, trivia (haven't gotten to that yet), remixed audio, audio commentary (don't know if this is the same as the 2000 DVD or new commentary), etc. Some of the cast members interviewed have aged better than others (I didn't know that Peter Graves was even still alive). Lorna Patterson (the singing stewardess) still looked lovely. (She was also, of course, the Miss Brahms character in "Beanes of Boston.") The years haven't been kind to Robert Hays--he was quite handsome back then. :(

MM (fave "Airplane!" quote: "Well, it's a big pretty white plane with a red stripe, curtains at the windows, wheels, and it just looks like a big Tylenol!" :lol2: )

I literally wet myself the first time I saw "Airplane !" The whole bar scene with the Girl Scouts fighting and the Disco dance was beyond hilarious !!! I remember my Mother had to help me up off the floor because I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard !!!

Little Boy - " Excuse me Miss, I saw you sitting alone and was wondering if you would like some coffee ?"

Little Girl - "Oh yes, thank you."

Little Boy - "Would you like some creamer in your coffee ?"

Little Girl - "No thank you. I like my coffee like I like my men, Black." :lol2: :lol2:

Ted: "Surely there must be something you can do."
Dr. Rumack "I'm doing everything I can...and stop calling me Shirley." :lol:

[missmacinthorpe]

The new disc's trivia points out that the beach scene has a catfish(!) next to the lovers writhing in the sea and sand. (Catfish are freshwater fish.) :lol: :lol:

"It's an entirely different kind of flying....althogether."

Stewardess - "We've got to get these people to a hospital !!"

Man - "What is it ??"

Stewardess - "It a big building with a lot of patients but thats not important right now..."

Which Airplane movie is it that Lloyd Bridges' character is hiding in bed with
a snorkle and they say "he thinks he's Lloyd Bridges"...that always gets
me laughing.

Maybe its 'cause I actually remember SeaHunt.

[sonosun]

FD tried as a small child to play Sea Hunt with a flexible straw as a snorkle. Everytime he got his entire head under the water the end of the straw was six inches under as well. :lol:

[Tiddles]

Maybe its 'cause I actually remember SeaHunt.

I used to play "Sea Hunt" in my living room as a kid. I'd dive off the couch into the oceany depths of my living room carpet and battle sharks and whales and things. No video games back then...... :mrgreen: :shrug:

I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out and LOVED it. This is one of my favorite scenes, but I hate that they wildtracked the dialog for the home video release making it more "politically correct". In the original movie, the line where she say's "Chump don't want no help", she originally used the word "Nigga".

ACK!! I hate political correctness.

It must be Airplane 2 (although I don't remember it offhand); it's definitely not in the original Airplane.
