User Review
More of the same
Rating: 8/10
Airplane II - The sequel is quite literally more of the same, same cast
(I'm glad to say) except Leslie Nielson (shame that) same jokes (Most
of which still work well) same plot (Only this time we are in space)
and the same hero.
Given all of the above, you may wonder why bother? Put simply - it's
still funny, it's still better than a lot of spoof movies and OH YES!
why change a winning formula.
Aiplane 2 is inferior to its predecessor in every way, but if you
enjoyed the first film, you'll be entertained by the sequel (Just not
quite as much) 8/10
