Airplane! - or Flying High in Australia - is one of the originators of
the slapstick genre. The particular blend of satire, parody and
slapstick, combined with over-the-top seriousness was worked through
here before it was perfected by the same team in Naked Gun.
This is somewhat more difficult to find than its spiritual sequels. it
does suffer from some laboured moments, but on the whole it is a unique
experience - a never-before-seen deliberate send up of everything. The
characters are almost entirely blown out stereotypes and down to the
music, everything oozes comedy - with and without becoming silly.
