With the Jerry Zucker-Jim Abrahams-David Zucker team absent, this sequel to the cash-cow 1980 spoof Airplane once again finds garrulous man-with-a-past Ted Striker (Robert Hays) compelled to take over the controls of crippled aircraft, all the while trying to patch up his relationship with… More

Critic Reviews

  • Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com

    Less hilarious than its predecessor, but still a hundred or so laughs.

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    Without the ZAZ team, it loses everything that made the original a classic.

  • Luke Y. Thompson, New Times

    Contains possibly the best William Shatner performance ever committed to celluloid.

  • Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)

    Inferior to the original, but enough jokes hit their marks to make it worthwhile.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Does manage to deliver a few jokes of its own, but this sequel is nothing but a pale retread of a true classic. Nice to see all the old faces, though.

    Having said that however, I don't think this film is as bad as some other reviewers have stated. Sure they re-hash a lot of stuff from the first movie, but hey! It's still funny right? I think this movie has a lot going for it. Some of the jokes fall flat, but some are… More

    Fun but nowhere near as funny as the first film.

  • Jason O


    The original "Airplane!" is one of my favorite movies of all time and one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. "Airplane 2 - The Sequel" is also funny, but it's not as funny as the original blockbuster movie. In this one, a shuttle is on its way to the… More
