Wissenswertes
Although several air crisis films contributed a range of clichés that would appear in the parody Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug (1980), Airplane! was directly based on this film. The writers noted down every quirk and came up with such great material that they decided to make their own comedy film. To avoid lawsuits and royalty issues, and as Zero Hour was so obscure, they found that they could afford to buy the rights to the entire film and then do whatever they wished. This would inspire Airplane! fans to view Zero Hour with cult-like status, organizing viewings during which they could spot all the clichés.

Patzer
The first view of the instrument panel after the pilots fall ill, has most of the instruments moving around wildly and in a disconnected fashion. Since the plane was being flown by the automatic pilot, this is something done for theatrical purposes. Instruments moving like that would be seen in a wildly maneuvering aircraft or one that was crashing. For the rest of the film, views of the panel show normal gauge movements.

Zitate
Dr. Baird: Our survival hinges on one thing - finding someone who not only can fly this plane, but didn't have fish for dinner.

Gripping stuff

This is an exciting film which is well acted and directed with all the tension needed to keep you sitting bolt upright throughout the climactic finale. Perhaps the rushed narrated intro is just a little too over-dramatic but it does not detract from the quality of the rest of the film.

I am well aware of the film's relation to "Airplane!" (which is hilarious) and some moments are impossible to watch without one being reminded of their parody versions (the reference to quitting smoking especially). Nevertheless, it still works as an exciting piece of cinema.
