Details

When an in-flight collision incapacitates the pilots of an airplane bound for Los Angeles, stewardess Nancy Pryor is forced to take over the controls. From the ground, her boyfriend Alan Murdock, a retired test pilot, tries to talk her through piloting and landing the 747 aircraft. Worse yet, the anxious passengers — among which are a noisy nun and a cranky man — are aggravating the already tense atmosphere.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Bella Airport 1975 starts off slow and incredibly weird. I thought I was going to turn it off until the crash happened. That's where everything got incredibly interesting. Stewardess, Nancy, must fly the plane over top of a tall mountain range despite having limited knowledge of airplanes and no experience with ever flying one. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat. Will this plane land safely or will they all crash and burn?
alexanderdavies-99382 It is true that the "Airport" films are mere guilty pleasures where everything can be taken at face value. This second one out of four, is probably the most tolerable. The budget seems to have been put to better use than in the previous "Airport" film from 1970. Charlton Heston is cashing in on his He-Man image and only has to turn up to save the day. The rest of the cast - apart from George Kennedy - hardly get a look in which is what I expected. There is entertainment value in small doses but don't expect any surprises or twists to the tale.
trashgang Grown up in full slasher era and the disaster flicks this is one I still remember. And after seen it again (40 years later) I liked it even more then the first entry into this franchise. Karen Black (Nancy Pryor) do takes the lead here as an air hostess trying to rescue a 747. Again, but less here, as in the original Airport it's a big commercial for Boeing. But they don't say it that much as in the first one. Nevertheless, it's still worth picking up even as many doesn't like this flick because what we do see can't happen. It didn't bother me at all, it's funny to see Erik Estrada (Julio) coming from CHIPS and Linda Blair (Janice Abbott) in a small part. Charlton Heston (Alan Murdock) is the hero after all. And George Kennedy returns as Joe Patroni the man with technical advice. But not only the flick itself is worth seeing after all those years, again, the way they do fly back then. The commander smoking cigars in full air. Turnable chairs in first class, free booze even if you are drunk. The effects are a bit outdated, just see the impact with the small airplane as a POV from the cockpit. That doesn't work at all but hey, it's a flick from the seventies, full with coming stars and well known faces from that era.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
TOMASBBloodhound Just about every 1970s disaster cliché and typical cast member is present in this ludicrous, yet entertaining movie. The first of a long line of sequels to the original Airport from 1970, this film raises the bar in terms of ridiculous situations and casting of washed-up actors. One cannot however ignore the interesting scenario of an untrained person having to fly a jumbo jet if the entire crew somehow would become incapacitated.Karen Black (an underrated talent) plays the lead stewardess on a 747 flight who has to take over the flying duties after a Cessna crashes into the cockpit and either kills or severely wounds the pilots. Luckily the script only calls for her having to make adjustments to the plane's course instead of actually bringing it safely into the gate! Instead, the plan is to lower a trained pilot from a jet helicopter into the 747 cockpit so he can make the landing. Of course there are complications involving sick passengers, fuel leaks, mountains, and finding a good rug for Charleton Heston to wear. Can this motley crew of actors bring the plane down safely?? I wonder.You gotta love the casts of these kind of movies. I can take Cid Ceasar, Myrna Loy, Gloria Swanson, and Linda Blair as passengers. I can hold my nose and accept Helen Reddy as a singing nun. The welcome sight of George Kennedy in some sort of administrative role certainly helps. But what in the world was former NFL quarterback Jim Plunkett doing on board? And sitting in coach, yet?? I guess he hadn't won a superbowl yet, so he didn't rate first class! 6 of 10 stars.The Hound.
