Leave your thoughts about Airplane II: The Sequel.
| IGNR.L. ShafferI really like the sequel. No, I'll go one step further – I love the sequel. It's missing some major players, both in front and behind the camera. But really, Airplane II has some seriously funny gags. |
| EmpireIan NathanVery hit and miss and not a patch on the first spoof but when a joke strikes home it'll have you going for a while. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyEven though most of the gags are too familiar or too dumb to be hilarious, Airplane II is too good-natured to be a serious irritant. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldThe first five or 10 minutes of Airplane II -- The Sequel are genuinely funny -- so funny I thought maybe this movie was going to work. That turned out to be a premature hope. The new inspirations quickly run out, and Airplane II turns into a retread, plundering the same situations and characters that made the original Airplane so funny. |
| User ReviewxXFIREKINGKEEXxThis is a film I will always enjoy it's not as good as the first but it's still really good in my opinion |
| User Reviewharvdog03This film was a really solid sequel. It has the same stupid humor but maybe the 1st was just a smidge better. |
| User ReviewCraftnight405Die Fortsetzung von Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug ist schwächer als sein Vorgänger. Der Humor ist immer noch da aber nicht mehr so viel. Es ist eine solide Fortsetzung hat mich aber nicht mehr so eingeholt wie der erste. Es sind die gleichen Charaktere wie im Vorgänger zu sehen außer Leslie Nielsen und leider auch der Autopilot. Den Film kann man auch gucken, würde aber eher zum Ersten Teil raten oder Der nackten Kanone oder einen der ersten drei Scary Movie Filme. |
| User ReviewliamexeEven if it's not great, this isn't awful either. It remains the greatest film ever, especially given how popular contemporary spoofs are. The fact that this movie simply recycles a lot of the humour from the first one seems to be my primary issue with it. The peculiarity is that the jokes they do employ are hilarious. Simply put, it accomplishes nothing better than the original. |
| User Revieweva3si0nAirplane II: The Sequel is a bad sequel. The sequel only uses the ideas of the original without adding anything new. The idea is poorly implemented, jokes do not go into any comparison with the original. In general, you can see once, but from the original there are only actors and the name. |
