I wrote before that the script of Airplane! was basically lifted directly from the movie, Zero Hour! My post today referencing Airport (another influence of Airplane!) inevitably lead me down a YouTube trail of clips and doom.  Well, minus the doom. And I came across this awesome video mashup of …

My husband recently hosted a Zero Hour! viewing party.  Many people know the lines from Airplane!, but most don’t know the lines were literally lifted from another movie–a serious movie! I recommend running a double-feature viewing party of Zero Hour! and Airplane!–but don’t show them in chronological order.  While Zero Hour! …

I might be a little obsessed with Airplane!.   Might. So I was really excited to see the BluRay on Amazon for $5 today. How obsessed with Airplane! am I?  Check out these previous posts: Zero Hour!: The History of the Movie Airplane! Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and “Striker†Reprise Roles from …

IGN has a round up of clips from the worst flights to be a passenger on in movie history.  Check them out here! I was pleased to see that both Zero Hour! and its comedy child, Airplane!  both made the list. Check out the history of Zero Hour! and Airplane! here. The list includes situations ranging …

One thing I love checking out are vintage advertisements.  While print ads are my normal medium, I’ve been checking out some vintage commercials lately. 1960s Eastern Airlines showing off its Boeing 727 in a commercial that somehow reminds me of the movie Zero Hour (Don’t ask why, I’m not sure!) …
