Sight gags.One liners.Nearly every one of them hitting the funny bone.That's what you have with Airplane! They picked a genre of films to poke fun of (Airline disaster films),they packed it chock full of one liners and sight gags,so many that if you blink,you are liable to miss a major laugh.The really genius move here by the makers of this film is casting it with actors that we had grown accustomed to taking seriously (Yes,Leslie Nielson was a serious actor for many years before doing this film).They mingled them with some pretty darn funny people and the result is nothing short of a comedy classic worthy of a spot on the DVD shelf.
The Producers is one of those comedies where if you blink,you most likely will miss something.Just the kind you would expect when viewing the earliest works of Mel Brooks,in particular those works that involve Gene Wilder in his prime.The Producers is wall to wall insanity,just one ridiculous action and word after another,and if you love comedy in it's truest form,you will not cease to be entertained here.Oddly,as much as I love Mel's work in the 70's (Blazing Saddles,Young Frankenstein,High Anxiety,etc),this was my first ever viewing of this film,and I can't for the life of me figure out why it took me so long.All I can say is that it was well worth the wait.
