    Has anyone seen the movie Zero Hour?

    Its the movie Airplane! was um "based" on.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051221/

    I caught part of it once at 7AM in a hotel in Salt Lake City and it was like a bizzarro version of Airplane! with almost the exact same speech from above except played completely straight. There even was a Johnny.

    Unfortunatly I was only able to catch about half an hour of it and have never seen it since. To my knowledge its not available on tape.

    Tonight, when I saw on AMC that Airplane! was based on Zero Hour, I too felt compelled to see it.

    Ted Striker: It's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell-shock. Thinks he's Ethel Merman.
    Lieutenant Hurwitz: [singing] You'll be swell, you'll be great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Startin' here, startin' now. Honey, everything's comin' up roses...
    Ted Striker: War is hell.

    Reporter: What kind of plane is it?

    Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with a red stripes, curtains at the windows, wheels, and it just looks like a big Tylenol.

    MY best scene:

    [Disco music in the background]
    [Cut to a girl and a sailor dancing on the dancefloor, lights, other people around]
    [Another sailor stabs the girl's dancing partner with a knife from behind]
    [As he feels the knife stuck, the partner starts to point at the knife on his back repeatedly while dancing]
    [The girl mimicks the partner's pointing at the knife to the beat while dancing]
    [Music keeps going]

    2nd best scene:
    [the jugs shaking]

    I want the kids in bed by nine, the dog fed, the yard watered and the gate locked. And get a note to the milkman - no more cheese!

    Howabout the manual repair for the autopilot?

    I've been tempted to ask women to help me repair my autopilot.

    2 more I remembered just now:
    [bridges' character... on the phone... trying to remember who Ted Striker is...]
    "Striker... striker... striker..."
    [behind him, their faces hidden, a woman is approaching a man]
    "Striker!"
    [the man behind him strikes the woman]
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    [behind Bridges' character, a guy meets another guy]
    [one pulls out a bag of what seems to be some dried up leaves]
    [the other one asks for something with his hands]
    [the first one's hands say there's no money]
    [the other punches the first one and takes the bag]

    Those are both from Airplane II: The Sequel. Still great moments though.

    I've always thought that Airplane 2 was an underrated flick
