Airplane 2 - The Sequel (English, German, DVD)

In the similarly delightful nonsensical vein as its forerunner, Airplane 2 concentrates on a space shuttle rather than a conventional aircraft. The moon has, by now, been colonised and supports a station on its surface. A lunar shuttle known as Mayflower One is being rushed to launch from Houston. However, following a short-circuit: the ship's computer, ROC, develops a mind of its own and sends the ship hurtling toward the sun! And just to add to the problems, air traffic controller Steven McCroskey (Lloyd Bridges) reveals that a passenger named Joe Seluchi (Sonny Bono) has boarded the shuttle with a bomb in a briefcase, intending to commit suicide so that his wife can collect on the insurance money.

The only person capable of saving the situation is former pilot Ted Striker (Robert Hayes) who has just been released from an insane asylum where he had been declared mentally incompetent.

Leslie Nielsen took a break from this one; but apart from those already mentioned, the cast does include Julie Hagarty, Chad Everett, Peter Graves, Rip Torn, Chuck Connors, Raymond Burr (remember him as Perry Mason?)... and William Shatner.

Paying generous tribute to Stanley Kubrick's 2001 – A Space Odyssey ("The Blue Danube" and all) it is irreverent, vulgar... and a heck of a good laugh for all that!

There's a mad bomber on board, the first lunar shuttle is about to self-destruct, the engines are not working, and - worst of all - the flight crew discovers they are, completely out of coffee! It's the high flying lunacy of Airplane! all over again as Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty fly totally out of the ozone to recreate their hilarious original roles.
