I loved this movie when I first saw it back in the 1980s. I bought it on VHS tape and watched it enough times that I had most of the jokes memorized. Then the tape went into long-term storage and I kind of forgot about it.
Recently I started digging through my old VHS tapes to see if any of them are worth saving and decided to give this movie a viewing for the first time in probably 30 years or so. I was worried that it wouldn't hold up and I'd be embarrassed about liking it so much as kid, but it's still a surprisingly funny film. Very much in the style of Airplane, but that's not a bad thing.
Some of the jokes haven't aged well and wouldn't pass today's PC sensibilities, and a lot of the topical references are now ancient, but it's still a pretty funny movie with a great cast.
