Comparison: Airplane/Zero Hour

[Eric H]

Someone created a side by side comparison between the movie Airplane (1980) and the primary inspiration, Zero Hour (1957), somehow this makes it even funnier.

I may be one of the few that thinks Airplane is kinda stupid....... I havent seen ZERO HOUR so I cant comment on that one..


Thanks for the comparison buddy

Saw Airplane! in the theater and absolutely loved it, still reference it at least once a week. Bought a copy of Zero Hour to go along with it and made me love Airplane! even more.

I also enjoy Airplane and will have to watch this comparison when I get home from work.

Zucker Bros. bought the rights to Zero Hour, the reason for so many similarities. A truly funny movie. "I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

Been looking for ZERO HOUR on tv for years,no luck at all. Been wanting to see the movie. Not even on TCM.

I remember watching Zero Hour probably 8-9 years ago, it was hard to do because I kept hearing Airplane lines throughout.

It's actually pretty ridiculous itself.

Sounds like Airplane just copied ZERO HOUR....

Which one is better in your opinion?
