The title is the post.
Really, you need to know: The Great Race is better on pretty much every dimension than Aeroplane – comedic timing, joke density, meme-ability, sound track, cringe-resistance… It’s just, better.
Why is this YSK material?
Plus we can like both.
Why do you think everyone should know your opinion?
Surely you can’t be serious!
If you need to make your own replies, it’s obviously a pretty crappy film
Haven’t seen it but that’s a BOLD statement. I would like someone else’s opinion who has seen both.
IMDB user ratings has Airplane! beating The Great Race 7.7 to 7.2. the trailer for the Great Race doesn’t contain a single joke.
Watch them yourself, no one else’s opinion matters. But mine is actually correct.
Edit: they are admittedly very different movies, both really well done. But TGR has absolutely epic production that’s not necessarily obvious on the surface. The big fist fight, for instance – the moment when Leslie stage dives is choreographed with so much detail, and most of the stunts in that shot are tossed aside like croutons, but absolutely make the scene.
To say nothing of the best pie fight in screen history.
And: more brandy!
Have you read the Wikipedia page? It’s pretty interesting
If you like these kinds of movies (I call them road flicks, linear story line, lots of cameos) I have a few suggestions:
It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
Cannonball Run
Rat Race
Who’s Minding the Mint?
