'''''Airplane II: The Sequel''''' is the 1982 continuation of the 1980 comedy classic ''[[Airplane!]]''. The writers and directors of ''Airplane!'', David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, refused to take part, and claim to have never even watched the sequel. The film brings back the two leads from the original, [[Robert Hays]] and Julie Hagerty, as well as some supporting actors, like [[Lloyd Bridges]], [[Peter Graves]], Stephen Stucker, Al White (one of the Jive Dudes) and Lee Bryant (the hysterical lady). As in the original film, several actors previously best known for their serious roles were cast including [[Chuck Connors]], [[Rip Torn]], [[John Vernon]], [[Raymond Burr]], and [[William Shatner]]. Whereas ''Airplane!'' was a spoof of ''Zero Hour!'' and the ''Airport'' movies, ''Airplane II'' was pretty much just recycling the plot of ''Airplane!'' (albeit in space). That, the recycling of jokes ("The sun, what is it?!" "A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that's not important now.") and the lack of participation from the original creators, causes ''Airplane II'' to be an afterthought in the minds of many compared to the original. | |||

Airplane II: The Sequel is the 1982 continuation of the 1980 comedy classic Airplane!. The writers and directors of Airplane!, David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker, refused to take part, and claim to have never even watched the sequel. The film brings back the two leads from the original, Robert Hays and Julie Hagerty, as well as some supporting actors, like Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves, Stephen Stucker, Al White (one of the Jive Dudes) and Lee Bryant (the hysterical lady). As in the original film, several actors previously best known for their serious roles were cast including Chuck Connors, Rip Torn, John Vernon, Raymond Burr, and William Shatner. Whereas Airplane! was a spoof of Zero Hour! and the Airport movies, Airplane II was pretty much just recycling the plot of Airplane! (albeit in space). That, the recycling of jokes ("The sun, what is it?!" "A large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, but that's not important now.") and the lack of participation from the original creators, causes Airplane II to be an afterthought in the minds of many compared to the original.
The following weapons were used in the film Airplane II: The Sequel:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 13
The porter (Kenneth O'Brien) shoots Jimmy's dog, Scraps, with a Smith & Wesson Model 13 only to reveal a second later that he's using blanks. This is the only gun that fires onscreen in this film. Other airport security carry this as an issued sidearm. Mental patients at the Ronald Reagan Mental Hospital raise Smith & Wesson Model 13s to their heads.
Walther P38K
An off-screen actor holds what appears to be a Walther P38K compact pistol to the Moscow anchorman's head. After screen cuts away, a gunshot is heard, but the anchorman shows up alive towards the end.
Colt New Service
Mrs. Hammon returns in the sequel during the trial scene to give her testimony on the events from the previous film. She flashbacks, and an elderly woman is seen holding a Colt New Service. [NOTE: The weapon is only briefly visible as the flashback ends.]
Rifles
Unknown M16 variant
In a gag playing off of the recent Iranian hostage crisis, the Iran Air courtesy shuttle drops off blindfolded passengers, along with guards wielding M16s. It's hard to tell which variant they are, however.
Machine Guns
Browning M2 Aircraft
A terrorist carries a Browning M2 Aircraft machine gun through the metal detector, without security noticing. This is most likely a rubber prop, as the actor appears to be carrying it and an ammo belt with ease.
MG15
During Ted's flashback to Macho Grande, a MG15 machine gun is seen. This is just stock footage from Airplane!, which used stock footage from World War II.
Miscellaneous
Various weapons
A group of terrorists carry various heavy weapons through the airport metal detector while airport security thoroughly check an old lady.
