Does anyone recognise which classic comedy is based on this film trailer?

It's uncanny.

Haha, that is strange!! Wonder if the Airplane writers watched it at some time?

Yes, the writers of Airplane were open about basing it on Zero Hour!

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hour!

Seems they watched it again and again just to see how they could take the piss out of each scene.

It's great!

Wow! I knew it was based on an older film but I hadn't realised they'd directly copied the actual shots! That's brilliant 😂

I know it's a spoof, but I'd thought it was more spoofing a genre. As I said, it's the identical shots that are tickling me.

I bet that if you saw the original, you just couldn't take it seriously now
