Just watched this film for the 1st time in a lot of years, not only is it the 1st film thats made me laugh out loud for a long time it also amazes me how Un-PC it is. Could it get re-made with anywhere near the same level of comedy or are we now too PC to even manage anywhere near the funny levels this film hit?

Now i'm older (not wiser) I get the jokes when I 1st saw it as a kid when it 1st came out I didn't have a clue and I think the chances of this being shown on TV is rather slim, its like the scene with the panicking passenger all getting ready to give her a slap to calm her down. so un-pc lol
Even better when you know it's based on a serious air disaster movie and Neilson playing it straight.
i think it was based on the airport disaster films and Neilson is a comic genius
It is based on various disaster movies, but the plot and chunks of the script are from the film Zero Hour!,
Good spot, just made a fascinating read

The sequel is not given enough credit either....that has the greatest sight gag with Shatner (the mirror sight gag in the first film gets missed by many)
Oh stewardess, I speak jive.
If you're on a certain flight and can understand sign language then you can get an extra giggle
