All ideas are taken, everything cool is already done, or it’s just a rehash of something else you didn’t know about. But hey fuck it, one of the best comedies of all time is a scene for scene remake of the 1957 waste of an hour an half of Turner Classic Movies’ programing time “Zero Hour!” If you already knew this then, hey good for you, go fuck your self. So any who Jim Abrahms, and brothers Jerry and David Zucker, pulled a fast one on most of America with the comedy classic Airplane! But first a little history. They used to be in a local comedy theater group called Kentucky Fried Theater and it was pretty successful from what I hear, and they made a movie full of parodies and commercial spoofs called “Kentucky Fried Movie” If you haven’t seen it, fucking find it and watch it. Okay here’s the trailer

The “ZAZ” group came to the idea of spoofing airplane films when they accidentally taped the 1957 film Zero Hour!, while they were looking for more commercials to spoof. The original script contained spoofs of television commercials, however, people who proofread the script for them advised them to shorten the commercials, and, eventually, they removed them. blah blah blah who gives a shit. Zero Hour! is a such a piece of shit though, it’s just as funny as Airplane! without trying to be. What’s crazy about it is, they barely had to add jokes to the script to make scenes funnier. It’s pretty much like mystery science theater, but every thing they would be saying about the movie is being shown on screen.

They knew what they were doing too, the group bought the rights to Zero Hour! to avoid plagiarism issues. I’m not sure if it makes Airplane! any less funny, but it kinda make sme what Casablanca would be like if it had Leslie Nielson, a pie in the face gag and a couple of fart jokes in it.  Too bad years have passed and that same group of comedies that brought us Airplane!, and The Naked Gun series, have succomed to making giant pieces of shit like Scary Movie 3, 4, 4, Superhero Movie, and soon to be defected upon us, Sci-Fi Movie.  They even have the balls to revisited there old jokes in their newer films.
