Airplane is mostly physical humor and dumb wordplay. 90% of the jokes would be fine as-is. There are a few you'd have to update, but that's hardly surprising for a movie released 35 years ago. You could have said the same in 1980 about most comedies made in 1945.
- gosub100 1y agothe scene of the arabs walking into the airport with RPGs and machine guns wouldn't make the cut.
- foldr 1y agoAre you talking about this scene from Airplane 2? I don't remember a scene with 'Arabs' going through security in the first one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meFJCeUWDyY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meFJCeUWDyY
- gosub100 1y agowe're both right|wrong - no, I was wrong that the person passing thru security was in any possible way "arab" - yes it's from Airplane 2 - No it's not from the metal detector scene - Yes it's from Iranians - No Iranians are not "arabs" - Yes They are engaged in a stereotypical crime - No it doesn't involve an RPG - yes it involves a battle rifle / something that doesn't belong at an airport https://postimg.cc/0rTzkhyR https://postimg.cc/0rTzkhyR
- foldr 1y agoI mean the movie came out shortly after this event: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis I don’t think you are correct that a movie that was made today couldn’t make comedic references to recent world events.
