Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. This is bad at a level of Ed Wood, though without the charming 50s sci-fi elements that make Ed Wood films fun to watch. The plot is impossible to follow and the parts that can be gleaned are completely idiotic. And all the usual hardcore sexism of the series is on display. For dumb fun stick with Airports 1975 and ’77. For an actual good movie (maybe something you wouldn’t expect) stick with the original Airport.

Do you acknowledge no schlock appeal? How about George Kennedy and that French guy acting like horndog teenagers talking about chicks they’re getting it on with?
How about the fact that people keep trying to shoot down the Concorde with missiles and THE PILOTS JUST KEEP TAKING HER UP??
You know my opinion: ’75 is bad and dull, but Concorde is bad and hilarious. And I still think ’77 is a grade-A B suspenser.
