09/24/11
OVERVIEW: Surely everyone will want to own three of the funniest comedies of the 1980s in high definition. Thankfully, Airplane, AIRPLANE! and THE NAKED GUN: From the Files of Police Squad make their Blu-ray debut exclusively at Best Buy on September 25 from Paramount Home Entertainment. And don’t call me Shirley.
SYNOPSIS: A masterpiece of off-the-wall comedy, AIRPLANE! tells the story of an ex-fighter pilot who takes control of an airliner when the crew is incapacitated—and skewers airplane disaster flicks, religious zealots, television commercials and everything else in its path along the way. The wildly quotable comedy features an all-star cast including Leslie Nielsen, Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty, Robert Stack,
Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and more
