The Zucker Brothers' classic Airplane, in Spanish, is ¿Dónde está el Piloto? which means, Where is the Pilot?. In French, it is Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion?, which means, Is there a Pilot on this Airplane?

Not since "Kentucky Fried Movie" (written by the Zucker Brothers, directed by John Landis) in 1977, has a parody flick been so gleefully vulgar. "Scary Movie" pushes the limits of the R rating even further than last year's "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut." It's ... pretty funny in the Zuckers' tradition - if one joke falls flat, two or three more will come along rapid fire that work.

The Zucker brothers are the early (and funnier) version of the Farrelly brothers. With films such as Airplane!, Top Secret, and Lawrence Of Arabia, the Zuckers have kept America laughing with goofy puns, obnoxious gags and zippy one-liners. Their sense of humor usually rides the line between stupid and genius (usually skewing towards the latter). It's easy to spot the indelible mark the Zuckers have made on current comedic filmmaking. One of their best was The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad, a full length feature spun off from the little seen TV show "Police Squad!" The Naked Gun is on patrol from Paramount on DVD.

According to Zucker, the problem with 1963’s Mad Mad Mad Mad World is that “it wasn’t directed by a student of comedy. Stanley Kramer was not primarily a comedy director. It seemed like what happened was he just let the actors all have fun. He had great comedians in that film, but it seemed like each one was coming in and having a field day with their parts. Everybody was doing their own shtick. At times it was funny, but it wasn’t well thought out and set up.
