A clever, droll parody of worry movies (abominable melodramas such as “Zero Hour” and “The High and The Worthy” along with “Airport” were the prime targets here), “Airplane! The `Don’t Call Me Shirley’ Edition” manages to combine silliness, puns and with topical humor in a style that recalls something out of an alternate off-kilter universe. Filled with melodramatic, over-the-top music, deliberately terrible acting and every cliché about plane disasters you can imagine, “Airplane!” aims wildly and accurately most of the time taking the wind out of the sails of abominable (and some genuine ones, too such as “Jaws”) movies everywhere. Evidently the writing/directing team of Zucker, Zucker and Abrahams (who wrote “Kentucky Friend Movie” for director John Landis and later went on to crate “The Naked Gun” films) caught “Zero Hour” on TV and realized that this overripe melodrama was impartial true to be plucked and served up as comedy (something it verged on anyway) .

Robert Hays plays Ted Striker(the name of Dana Andrews’ character in “Zero Hour!”) a extinct fighter pilot who is now shocked to pilot planes since a disastrous mission years before. Striker books a seat on the flight of his girlfriend Elaine (Julie Hagerty) in hopes of working out their relationship. When the crew and passengers are brought down by food poisoning Ted has to overcome his fears to pilot the plane to safety.
While the film looks very well-behaved (and better than its previous edition), I was a bit disappointed by the amount of dirt and debris. I opinion that a deluxe edition like this would have a nearly pristine print and that Paramount would have the film digitally cleaned up. Overall the film looks satisfactory but could have been tweaked more for this special edition. The soundtrack sounds resplendent respectable overall and is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0 with dialogue positive and limited distortion.

The extras are where this edition truly shines. “Airplane! The `Don’t Call Me Shirley Edition” doesn’t have any of the former special features you’d interrogate. There’s no “making-of” documentary or featurettes on the film per se. The “Long Haul Version” allow you to inspect the film with frequent detours into comments by the actors (Hays is explain but Julie Hagerty curiously isn’t), writers/directors and other production crew. We also gain deleted scenes in the “Long Haul” allotment that are quite comical in many instances as well. Included in the “Long Haul” version are clips from the movie that inspired the Zuckers/Abrahams “Zero Hour”. We also procure the theatrical trailer and a clever menu that presents some of the classic scenes from the film as if you’re watching an bright version of those unfavorable safety/disaster cards they plot on airplanes drawn in the same style. This is like watching the movie, deleted scenes and a documentary at the same time. It’s a tall conceit and works blooming well here. There is also a subtitle track that features trivia about the movie and points out visual mistakes, etc. throughout the movie.
There’s a ample commentary track featuring the directors sharing stories about the production of the movie. This sounds like the commentary track from the previous edition. The commentary track provides a lot of silly stories, trivia and background about the movie. Many of the comments are also echoed in the extended branching edition of the movie so listening to the commentary track really can’t compare to watching the seamlessly branching edition.
A classic comedy that detached works amazingly well, this special edition of “Airplane!” is well worth it for the fans of the movie. Although the image quality could have been cleaned up a shrimp bit more for this presentation, it’s a aesthetic minor articulate really as the “special features” manufacture this edition worthwhile for fans of this classic bit of madness.
“Surely you can’t be serious”
“I am, and don’t call me Shirley!”
Classic lines from a classic spoof-comedy. It doesn’t secure great funnier than this.
Ok so we all agree it’s a classic spoof-comedy – but what about the DVD? I can’t complain for lack of special features – the movie is what’s considerable. And about the movie, I have noticed that there are parts missing (yes, scenes were slash out) of the DVD that were in the unusual movie!
One such scene is when the two children are play-acting as adults drinking coffee, when he asks her how she takes her coffee, she replies, “gloomy, like my men”. This isn’t in the DVD but was in the novel TV version. There are a few more such incidents (One with the hysterical girl who had “never really been with a man before” – this really makes me aroused – I wonder if they crop these parts out for politial correctness or??
It makes no sense to me. Sight your ragged version and then the DVD – you’ll observe that scenes are cleave out and that’s unprejudiced not good. So while the Recent movie gets ***** five stars, the DVD with it’s missing scenes gets only *** and a immense boo! from me.
