The '80s Comedy "Airplane!" Was a Remake of the '50s Film "Zero Hour!"

Here is an interesting discovery. The classic '80s slapstick comedy, Airplane! was not only a spoof of airport disaster movies like Airport, but the creators Jim Abrahams and David Zucker literally lifted scenes from the '50s drama Zero Hour! and turned them into jokes. Have a look:



Still pretty hilarious.
