Airplane Missionaries

[MaxxTheMerciless]

The Reverend Moon. Now that was a long time ago. I wonder if there are any Moonies left?

[TheMrCFH]

I love how it's like a cheesy video game. He's easily beating them up while more slowly keep coming towards him.

[romanvanpersie]

This is how I feel reading through my Facebook newsfeed, every day. :D

[ho33es]

@romanvanpersie i actually feel the same way as you.

Let me post this comment on facebo...oh wait...

[romanvanpersie]

@ho33es :D



[mordecaicarroll]

@romanvanpersie

I feel the same way about my email inbox.

[ShawnRavenfire]

I remember laughing the first time I saw this, because I thought they made up "Jews for Jesus" as a joke. Then I found out it's a real religion. I love it when reality is funnier than fiction.

[Killadog1980]

i lol'ed, that pilot is my hero

[VlogN3rds]

I wish they would remake Airplane and use the Westboro Baptist Church instead of actual actors.

[moeman1984]

This is one of the greatest scenes in history.

[dmuth]

I don't think he hit that Scientology guy hard enough.

[jcowski]

@dmuth Dude...I almost spit coffee all over my keyboard with your reply! Well played. Well played.

[VisibleNinjaProd]

You don't interrupt Robert Stack, or else he'll make YOU an Unsolved Mystery.

[dmuth]

@VisibleNinjaProd Osama bin Laden interrupted Robert Stack.

[iamhungey12345]

@dmuth

And years later a response came in.

Then afterward Westboro were found massacred...

[qwertyytrewq71]

Help Jerry's kidslolol

[WeylandYutaniInc91]

"How about Buddhism?"

[78kokka]

Aww... I always wanted to do something like that *_*

[zalumofilms]

Jehovah's Wittnesses!!!

[blackman26]

This scene always makes me crack up!

[clashrogers]

0:17 is co-writer and co-director Jim Abrahams.

[SoylentBacon]

Interesting comment from suedenim.

While this no longer applies to airports, I still feel a little familiar with the experience, since those kind of people hang around college campuses today.

[warriorsfan19]

Robert Stack is excellent in this. Especially when he flipped over that guy.

[shihonage]

I love how everyone in background completely ignores it, like "oh this happens here every day".

[freshPrincess626]

@shihonage

yup, that's a huge part of the parody comedy of this movie. crazy-ass shit goes on, and no one really notices or cares.

[mrgarymakin]

Classic.

[BumwhiffleZoopstanky]

Ron Reagan Jr. once said in an interview that if his old man hadn't gone into politics, "Unsolved Mysteries" may have had a different host. That got me to thinking, "Ronnie" would have loved playing Captain Kramer. For that matter, if the producers hadn't gotten Barbra Billingsley, Nancy would have made a great Jive Lady. But no one, and I mean NO ONE, could have taken the place of Stephen Stucker. "Rapunzel! Rapunzel!"

[Treblaine]

@Smashhedo I've been had by hare krishna's they give you a shitty "gift" then demand a donation. Mother fuckers won't take back what they gave you (usually a cheap book) and act offended that you would return a "gift" yet at the same time demand a donation to "reciprocate kindness".

Hope they get reincarnated as Battery chickens.

[FredDude27]

Those stunt-guys really had to work for their money in this scene :)

[hench1985]

If they didnt have this music playing, I don't think it would be as good. The music was just so good and fit the scene.

[ignoranceandwant]

I live in Chicago and I liken these guys to the college students who hang out on State St. or Michigan Ave. with clipboards who try to get you to donate to Greenpeace or Children International.

[captainbryce1]

Excuse me but would you like to accept this flower from the church of religious consciousness?

[BumwhiffleZoopstanky]

@captainbryce1 No, but thank you anyway!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Scientologeeeeee UGH!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

One of the missionaries had the nerve to know a lil self-defense LMAO

[th3m0vingshad0w]

MORE NUCLEAR POWAAAA!!

[cff121]

I'm old enough to remember when those assholes were trolling around airports doing that shit. You don't see cult members doing that anymore.

[Agent1W]

@cff121 Considering that you gotta fly, you really don't have the time to "entertain" them. We all should be glad it doesn't happen anymore.

[hench1985]

the two people or any future people who disliked this video were the ones beaten up by Robert Stack, or family members of the missionaries beaten up by Robert Stack

[alexthelizardking]

solicitors won't take no 4 an answer

[liarsclub75]

Best fucking movie of all time!

[fasteddie847]

This by far was the best part of this movie!!!! 

[Amar7605]

Seriously, this is what I want to do to any panhandler I meet now. 

[my80splaylist]

Wow, did Robert Stack do his own stunts? Impressive...

[teencomment]

Lol, take that at Scientology.

[YayForBeers]

One scientologist accidentally stumbled upon this video when searching for "Scientology kicks ass" and disliked it.

[OmacOmac1]

How bout' this, let's have a Marine beat the sh*t out of bloodf*ckers (vampires), that would really make me happy, and the marine responds, "you bloodf*ckers really make me sick, you can s*ck my marine b***s!"

[Bladerunner93]

What makes this scene great is that he's not just trying to get past them, he goes out of his way to beat them up

[tikletik]

@Bladerunner93 Hell yeah.  :D

[MillBelater]

It's getting like this when you check out at K-mart. Sears card? would you like one? extended warranty? Jerry's kids?

[MikeAM78]

One the funniest scenes in the movie. This was back when people knew how to make good parody movies. It's a lost art these days.

[jhangirk]

LOL IT'S TOO MUCH!

[Robi2009]

He said Jehovah!

[mrmonkeyisland1]

Great scene.

[JessFromMead]

I was talking to my sister who is going to China, She says that when ever she is there, people are always trying to sell you shit. This scene comes to mind everytime

[IBMeddling]

@Smashhedo "I'd like you to have this flower"... many charities will give people something first because it makes them feel guilty and in return they will donate money.

[IBMeddling]

When I am in downtown Chicago I can't walk a single block without 3 people asking me to sign up for something or someone else is begging me for money. I can totally relate to Rex Kramer.

[mitrooper]

That Jews for Jesus missionary 0:08 doesn't know how to give up...He comes back for more nuclear power. 0:20

[NWG92]

Good shit, definitely in the top five scenes from the movie for me

[removetube]

The Robert Stack "Backflip Kick" is fucking Awesome! lol

[Angelrust]

Next time on unsolved mysteries...KICKING ASS

[garymakin01]

LMAO.

[dmuth]

Robert Stack was like the Chuck Norris of the 1970s!

[NamelessFlux]

If they redid this scene it would be somewhere in downtown Chicago bc you always get accosted by panhandlers, wannabe rappers selling their demo disks, hippies wanting you to donate to kids, flyer hawkers etc.

I always wanna do this to them whenever i go to school.

[snowcamper]

who could blame you

[CalgarSkull]

SOOOOOO HILARIOUS!! I had these people coming up to me in the mall now that it is shopping season and this scene is SO perfect in depicting that.

[suedenim]

Some of the context is lost today, because we're used to a different airport regime. At the time of the movies, airports were treated as "public forums," where the airport authorities couldn't regulate free speech.

In 1992, the Supreme Court declared that airports aren't public forums, so airport authorities could and generally did stop Hare Krishnas and other activists from bothering passengers, making Stack's experience a thing of the past.

[dstruck0622]

@suedenim Yup, International Soc. for Krishna Consciousness v. Lee

SCOTUS No. 91-155

[zufgh]

@suedenim True, but I think most people still recognise the reference

[mykecom]

I think it's supposed to be LAX in the 80s, so pretty common I suppose. It's probably a reference to Hare Krishnas, who the Zuckers parodied in Kentucky Fried Movie.

[sadeq786]

@mykecom i got spammed by htem at LAX and had to buy their book which i threw away right after.

[andrewtheman19]

Fuck off. They make fun of scientology and specifically say "JEWS for Jesus". Drop your bullshit persecution-complex.

[000266617]

JEWS for Jesus, then, would be Christians if they are for Jesus. So you support my point.

[andrewtheman19]

Buddhism, Jerry's Kids, Scientology, and More Nuclear Power...these are not Christian groups. Now fuck off.

[000266617]

They are all non Jewish religions, but mostly Christian.

[jhangirk]

SO FUCKING FUNNY!

[hacker848]

HAhahahahahaha

Epic!

[robyn7465]

Hahaha....Scientologeeeeeeeee

[Kenneth1976]

That's funny as shit, It 's my favorite scene.

[jkoff76]

Haven't we all wanted to do this at some point!!!

[ShinRyojin]

This scene actually inspired Final Fight lol

[jazzforall]

Fantastic stuff !!!

[reverendjeremiah]

Classic!

[BananaHurricane]

Lmfao! This is epic

[gibouze]

classic!!

[RDarth]

Scientologyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[SuperStewcat]

@RDarth is a lie.

[OperaNerd1986]

Did anyone notice that the guy who asks about "Jews for Jesus" later comes back as the "More Nuclear Power" guy?

[mykecom]

I did not notice that, awesome! lol, good eye.

[whatuswattingat]

@mykecom Now THAT'S what I'm telling you! I've watched the film since it first came out 30 (YES. 30 YRS AGO!), and to this day I'm STILL finding things!

[inferno10]

@OperaNerd1986 And as More Nuclear Power guy, he held up his hand but had no brochure.

[CalgarSkull]

HILARIOUS!!! SOOOO FUNNY!! One ofthe best scenes in film history for it's straight to the point sense of humor!! SO funny!!

Stack plays it so well too.

[sirkowski]

Robert Stack seemed pretty agile.

[milowitz]

Scientologeeeee! The best.

[airodyssey]

Every time I hear "Jews for Jesus", I'm laughing so hard :-P

My favourite part is when, just before leaving all the missionaries on the floor, he calmly adjusts his hat and buttons his coat.

[hraith]

More Nuclear Power is a good name for an activist group, too. Reminds me of my favorite charity, the National Association for the Advancement of Petroleum Corporations.

[ShinRyojin]

There are times i wish i could get away with doing that!

[demonfan4life]

Anyone have the scene where he hits the guy on the bicycle?Please post!!!!

[anthonyhug]

the phrase 'stack attack' should be in the dictionary. classic

[jakzine540]

By the way, I dont think the message got through to the scientology guy. No wonder tom cruise is screaming about them. Or maybe he's just drunk.

[Ceaaa22]

These days, he'd be punching Scientologists and Westboro " Christians " out.

RIP, Bob.

[ahutcho24]

The Robert Stack Backflip Kick: one of the greatest moments in cinema history!

[jakzine540]

GOD YES! That was absolutely awesome. They do that kind of thing anymore.

[trupdog]

thanks. the last one was taken down. BUNK!
