Surely you can't be serious: An oral history of Airplane! · The A.V. Club
On the 35th anniversary of the cult classic, the A. V. Club talks to the film's producers and writers and as many stars as they could round up, including Robert Hays (Ted Striker), Maureen McGovern (the nun), and two of the kids in the movie (Joey, who got to go the cockpit, and Lisa, the sick little girl with the IV that wouldn't stay plugged in).
An interesting highlight: Al White, one of the two "jive talkers," talks about the linguistic research he did to develop his lines.
Second in a series: The first was about Weird Al Yankovic's UHF.
