Have you read the Wikipedia page? It's pretty interesting

If you like these kinds of movies (I call them road flicks, linear story line, lots of cameos) I have a few suggestions:

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Cannonball Run

Rat Race

Who's Minding the Mint?

This YSK offering does feel like a way to provoke a fight among boomers and Gen-Xers.

Why do you think everyone should know your opinion?

Why is this YSK material?

Plus we can like both.

Haven’t seen it but that’s a BOLD statement. I would like someone else’s opinion who has seen both.

Watch them yourself, no one else's opinion matters. But mine is actually correct.

Edit: they are admittedly very different movies, both really well done. But TGR has absolutely epic production that's not necessarily obvious on the surface. The big fist fight, for instance -- the moment when Leslie stage dives is choreographed with so much detail, and most of the stunts in that shot are tossed aside like croutons, but absolutely make the scene.

To say nothing of the best pie fight in screen history.

And: more brandy!

IMDB user ratings has Airplane! beating The Great Race 7.7 to 7.2. the trailer for the Great Race doesn't contain a single joke.

Tar_alcaran ,

If you need to make your own replies, it's obviously a pretty crappy film

jvw OP ,

Oh I'm just here to have fun! But hey, of you want to grump around that's your rainy day not mine! 😘
