The Concorde... Airport '79

You know, I've been shocked how much I've enjoyed these Airport movies up to this point. They're not perfect but they're pretty damn fun, I don't know why they have such a poor reputation. Then I get a minute into this one and I go, "Oh. Oh no..." Been awhile since I've watched a straight-up bad movie, but boy this is a baaad movie. The budget is all out the window, the filmmaking is often incompetent, the line readings are so bad, the absurdity is cranked up to eleven. Courtesy of a screenplay by future Oscar winner Eric Roth oddly enough. Just... a bad movie. Though George Kennedy, Alain Delon, and David Warner in the cockpit of a Concorde is a nightmare blunt rotation I wouldn't mind being part of.

Как же дёшево сделаны эффекты (надеюсь весь бюджет достался Делону). Самолёта жалко. Диалоги сентиментальные, что даже весело.

You’d think at film number 4 George Kennedy’s character would start thinking “Am I cursed around planes?”

It’s kind of like they knew this was going to be the last of this series and they thought “why not? Let’s go crazy!” And crazy they did! It only makes sense that Airplane would come the next year the way this movie goes!
