'Airplane II' is practically the same movie as the original 'Airplane', only the jokes are different. Whilst it may seem like a cop out, the first 'Airplane' was a resounding success, so why change a working formula? The sequel is funny, and that's all that matters.
The film may lack ideas and originality but it makes up for it with plenty of laughs. The original 'Airplane' is without doubt the funnier of the two, but this certainly isn't short of jokes that are sure to crack you up. They knew that they were never going to outdo the first 'Airplane' movie, and obviously just decided to play it safe.
I'm not sure why 'Airplane II' has a considerably lower mark than the original movie on IMDb, I would have thought that those who enjoyed the first would have also liked the second... at least I did.
