Review of The Concorde... Airport '79 (1979) by David F — 09 Jan 2010

Perhaps the worst of the Airplane series, and that's saying a lot. An evil industrialist (Robert Wagner - how great is that?) wants to remove evidence of wrongdoing by blowing the Concorde out of the sky - only the supersonic maneuvers and barrel-rolls of now Captain Joe Patroni (!) save the day! Somehow, Martha Raye manages to hold her bowels and Jimmy (JJ) Walker manages to smoke a spliff, and Jon Davison manages to keep his hair straight through all that, but once the plane lands safely, all the passengers GET BACK ON AGAIN TO RESUME THE FLIGHT! Then the fun really starts when Charo joins the cast with her 'seeing-eye chihuahua'.

After that, all you need is for Artie Johnson to show up, and you have AIRPORT 79 - THE LOVE BOAT.
