AIRPLANE! vs. ZERO HOUR

submitted by winkler1

1 decade 7 years 7 months 3 weeks ago

As you may know, AIRPLANE! is actually a scene-for-scene remake of the 1957 film ZERO HOUR (just released on DVD), with the original plot and much of the original dialogue played for laughs. Here is a comparison of some bits from the original and their equivalents in AIRPLANE! (this is only a partial selection, of course).

no way...who knew it was a quasi remake ! that was too cool and after reading IMDB it made even more sense. Great post bro !

at first I was thinking "Zero Wing", you know: "All Your Base"...

Actually, I didn't know that. Awesome.

he he he... love this movie... I had friends in high school who were in a band named "Don't Call Me Shirley"... to this day one of the best band names I've ever heard.

Pretty good comparisons....there is a part 2 that's just as good for those that are interested.

*geek for comparisons. I didn't know it was based on an 1957 movie either. IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/movieconnections ) said: "Zero Hour! (1957)
- The makers of Airplane! (1980) bought the rights to Zero Hour! (1957) to remake it.Much of the movie Airplane! (1980) is similar to Zero Hour! (1957) including using the same dialog. "

I'm a great Airplane! fan & I didn't know that. Thanks a million for posting this.
