¿Y dónde está el piloto? II

And that's all that matters. Of course, this isn't on the same level as the first "Airplane!", but it's a good parody movie, even without the ZAZ team around.

The main actors reprise their roles and that makes it seem like a legit sequel (Sorry - no Leslie Nielsen here). Only this time it's set in an alternate, absurd future and the aircraft is heading toward the moon.

The sight gags are there, the verbal puns are there, and the plot manages to keep the funny and treat the absurdity of it all with naturality. However, many jokes are recycled from the first one - they're still funny, but this means that "Airplane II" just doesn't have the same staying power as the original - I liked it, but I'm not in a hurry to rewatch it again anytime soon. The first one just never gets old.

Another problem is that some jokes that are repeated WAY too much. It's like, without ZAZ, they just couldn't figure out when to stop at the right time, and that makes some jokes not so funny after a while.

But if you forget there was a first movie, you will have fun with this silly little comedy. It delivers the goods - laughs - and that's all that really matters in the end.

The makers of "Airplane II: The Sequel" simply took every joke from the first one and made it again. This gets boring after a while. People taking things too literally is so overused in this movie it's getting painful (like the "trip" scene - ouch!). There are one or two good moments, though (some William Shatner scenes and the 2001 waltz spoof) and it's a good thing that the main cast (excluding Leslie Nielsen & Robert Stack) from "Airplane!" returned for this one. All in all, "Airplane II: The Sequel" is watchable but I'm glad that they never made a third part. It only could have gone downhill from the original, anyway.

It is the future. People are getting ready for there first transport to the Moon to live in Moon colonies, and Ted Striker knows something bad is going to happen. The Roc 4000 computer goes nuts and kills the crew of the spaceship and sets the ship towards the sun. If Striker can't take back the ship and change it's course they will all fry. Sequel to Airplane! is mainly a parody on 2001, with all the original Airplane! jokes thrown back in. Most of the cast has returned including Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, and even the jive talking dude. William Shatner and Sunny Bono are very good as a few new characters. Is it funny? Yes, but not as funny as the first. People who enjoyed the first one should enjoy this one. Fairly average comedy. **out of **** Note: After the end credits they say Airplane 3 coming soon. It never came.

Airplane II - The sequel is quite literally more of the same, same cast (I'm glad to say) except Leslie Nielson (shame that) same jokes (Most of which still work well) same plot (Only this time we are in space) and the same hero.

Given all of the above, you may wonder why bother? Put simply - it's still funny, it's still better than a lot of spoof movies and OH YES! why change a winning formula.

Aiplane 2 is inferior to its predecessor in every way, but if you enjoyed the first film, you'll be entertained by the sequel (Just not quite as much) 8/10

Oh boy was I misled, this is probably one of the best sequels to any movie ever! The original had a 7.8 rating, rightfully so, but this one gets a 6.1? For what exactly? They've got everything better! Especially the story, it improved.
