Everything you ever wanted to know about air travel and on a higher plane than then the original

Everything you ever wanted to know about air travel, and on a higher plane than the original Leslie Nielsen has been around for a long time and in many roles before striking out on a comedy road. This is but one story. However, it was a turning point for him from the leading man in "Forbidden Planet” (1956), to a serious doctor in” Airplane!” (1980), to a Field Guide in "National Geographic's The Savage Garden” with Leslie Nielsen (1997) “Airplane” has a great cast, including Robert Stack (playing himself), Lloyd Bridges (glub, glub), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (just as defensive as ever). This movie is unique. It is the first; I have seen displaying one-liners with serious intent. It was not just slapstick or Abbott and Costello. This particular film uses the “Airport” movies as the basis of most of its humor. It worked well enough for sequels and other films to be made in the new genre. I keep it with the Leslie Nielsen Collection. ====================== Now for Airplane II This is a more futuristic version of the original Airplane movie with A few different people and a few different jokes while keeping to the original formula. Not as surprising as the first, but still worth watching. People who made their living being heroes including Lloyd Bridges (Sea Hunt), Leslie Nielsen (Forbidden Planet), Raymond Burr (Perry Mason), now let their hair down in this thought-provoking sequel. This may have contributed to the conversion of William Shatner from Captain Kirk (Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 28: “The City on the Edge of Forever”) to "The Big Head" on “3rd Rock from the Sun.” I am waiting for the collection of his commercials to be published. Do not forget to watch “Shatner in Space” (2021).
