Actually this is the only AIRPORT movie that I consider any good, the other ones are just funny because of their badness. Hey, if Jack Lemmon could play a character in an Airport movie with such conviction and without looking like an idiot, he obviously could do anything ! (Those AIRPORT pilots just couldn't keep their hands off the stewardesses !). There's no question the idea of turning a plane into a submarine was absolutely preposterous and the special effects are ridiculously dated but the script is fun and the cast and characters not bad at all (a big improvement from AIRPORT 75). As the DVD movie trailer says: ....on board, the rich and beautiful!!! A good way to enjoy watching this movie even more is saying to yourself: that one must be rich, that other too, and so on.......
