Zero Hour! (1957) Theatrical Trailer

[trgzbaby]

"Ted, we're falling!" at this point I was convulsed with laughter

[badooga]

You know, I was disappointed to see this trailer, because it meant that "Airplane!" was not all that creative--it was just a re-hash of this dreadful film.

"Ted!--We're falling! We're falling!"

"Ted! The mountains! The mountains!"

Show of hands: @0:36, how many out there instantly answered with "Surely you can't be serious?"

[PuppetsTonight]

@smichelle65 Guilty! R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen

[YoMama63366]

@smichelle65 Don't call me Shirley.

[uvawu]

Which model of airplane is that?

[jfallas]

How can you watch this movie with a straight face, after watching Airplane!!!

[mercer240]

lolololol, so this is the inspiration for Airplane!!

[badooga]

But where is Kareem?

[nrkgalt]

@badooga They used a different LA sports star, Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch.

The fun part about watching "Zero Hour" is that, after you've seen That Other Movie umpteen times, you want to add its lines. "How 'bout some coffee, Johnny?" No thanks!"

[Juliaflo]

I just saw this on Turner Classic Movies, and I was surely impressed.

[galoon]

Airplane! is even funnier if you've seen this one in addition to the Airport movies!

[theeddielang]

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley! This film looks amazing.....

[Crashman2]

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue... 5 stars!

[only257]

hiliarously spoofed in airplane was a remake of zero hour but with jokes they even spoofed scenes of this movie!

[wmbrown6]

Robert Hays' "Airplane!" character was exactly the same as Dana Andrews' in this film.

[only257]

@Iamfukenripped You god damned IMBECILE. Try using BASIC punctuation...You know, the shit they teach in the SECOND grade!

You fucker, you! OVENS, NOW!

[Iamfukenripped]

@djfakt Who are you to to call me an "imbecile" and "fucker". I am a peaceful person and i nice guy and i do use basic punctuation for important letters or other various applications that may require good grammer and so on. Being as this is only youtube and i want to get my message out quick time, i dont have time for "basic punctuation or spelling". So long as you can understand me then thats good enuff for me, do you dig?. Peace out, take a foken chill pill sir.

The movie that was the inspiration for one of the great comedies ever. All it needs are some jive-talking passengers, Otto, and an over-the-top "flamboyant" dispatcher.
