Or as it’s known in France, Y a-t-il un Pilote dans L’Avion? Seems the French aren’t keen on maintaining the suspenseful element to making this funny.
There was quite a lot of buzz about this movie when it hit the mall in Springfield after Empire ran its course. Being a kid, I only had a rough idea what the ZAZ guys were up to because I had seen Airport ’75 a couple times on network television. The dirty jokes were certainly part of its appeal too.
The NY Times recently ran a piece about the film’s anniversary. I was going to let it slide after I totally missed the deadline. Then Somara found a site with 11 trivia questions checking to see how much fans of it remembered. I got eight! Not bad since I haven’t watched all the way through in over 20 years. I think I caught the last half in 1994 on Comedy Central with Patricia who told me about its title in French.
I need to look it over again. See if the jokes hold up in light of the current factory cranking out those horrible attempts at trying to recapture ZAZ’s magic. Let’s not forget the craptacular Family Guy series which is nothing but a string of ZAZ jokes without an adequate narrative holding it together.
Tell me what you score was and don’t cheat by using Google, imdb.com or watching your DVD. I predict the only person who will beat my eight is Jose, the biggest movie fan I know.
I only got eight as well.
