Review of Zero Hour (1992) by Neil W — 25 Aug 2009
OK...this is an absolute MUST see. I ran across it about 4 years ago and couldn't believe that it had been hidden for so long. The movie it's self is pretty bad to the point of being campy and funny on it's own. However the reason I give it 5 stars is just it's being such an inspiration to the Zucker brothers.
This is the comedy "Airplane", almost scene for scene, WITHOUT the punchlines. Follow Elaine & Ted Striker on the doomed flight where those "who had fish for dinner" all become ill. "Joey, have you every been in a cockpit before?, "The fog is getting thicker", "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking, "Just want to say, we're all counting on you", "Pour every light we've got onto that field"! There's even a professional basketball star, Elroy 'Crazylegs' Hirsch, as the co pilot . It's all there!
Pop in the DVD, sit back and enjoy! You will be playing the payoff lines in your head throughout.
