Haven't watched them in a long time, I have no doubts they hold up great as movies, but I'm curious if any of the humour wouldn't pass the current PC guidelines.
It passes. It's all visual gags and word play with no butt of the joke. It is possibly the only timeless comedy that will remain funny for generations to come.
There's a few times they get racial, but it does manage to stay pretty tame about it all.
When they are showing the newscasters around the world, it certainly skirts the line, but doesn't cross it. Much like the fellows speaking "jive", they pull it off without turning the black men themselves into the joke.
It is probably about a small recreational plane and not an airline, despite what they want you to believe with the image. In this case it is plausible.

I've got like maybe 20h in flight simulator, I use all the assists, I'm still confident I could "totally" land a plane in case of emergency lmao.
I'll take "winwing not charging $300 for what's realistically half the quality of VKB" over trying to land a real plane.... and I own a PA28.
The Airplane! movies hold up, fight me.
(Please don't fight me I'm old and tired.)
Fight you? You wouldn't even try fighting back except during the playoffs, Kareem!

It's terrible when you have to live with a drinking problem
Surely this article can't be serious?
It's serious (probably). And don't call me Shirley.

You should have fun and watch "Airplane", you might have gotten the reference then.
Will do!
Please excuse me for being so serious 🙂
I'm envious that you get to watch it for the first time.
Done! That was fun!
Don't call me movie.
Golly!
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
Good job they didn't have fish for dinner
Do we have clearance, Clarence? Roger.
