Critic Reviews

R.L. Shaffer

I really like the sequel. No, I'll go one step further – I love the sequel. It's missing some major players, both in front and behind the camera. But really, Airplane II has some seriously funny gags. Read full review

Vincent Canby

Even though most of the gags are too familiar or too dumb to be hilarious, Airplane II is too good-natured to be a serious irritant. Read full review

Empire Ian Nathan

Very hit and miss and not a patch on the first spoof but when a joke strikes home it'll have you going for a while. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The first five or 10 minutes of Airplane II -- The Sequel are genuinely funny -- so funny I thought maybe this movie was going to work. That turned out to be a premature hope. The new inspirations quickly run out, and Airplane II turns into a retread, plundering the same situations and characters that made the original Airplane so funny. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

It can’t be said that Airplane II is no better or worse than its predecessor. It is far worse, but might seem funnier had there been no original. Read full review

Time Out London Staff (Not Credited)

Granted the producers wanted to repeat their success, but taking the same stars and copying the same jokes merely makes for a thin rehash. Read full review

Terry Kelleher

Airplane II opens promisingly with a spate of hit-and-run gags, but the picture sags in the middle and lies flat for the last half-hour. Bringing on the rigor mortis is the appearance of William Shatner, playing the lunar-base commander who must guide Hays' troubled space shuttle to a safe landing. [14 Dec 1982, p.D14]
