a white space shuttle slowly passed by, followed by white subtitles slowly rising into the starry sky, with atmospheric music, telling a story. Suddenly the subtitles turned to describe an epic, and the story of that epic came to an abrupt end...The creative title alone fascinated me deeply. When I watched the first "Unprecedented Flying All Over the Sky", I didn't think the film was so good-looking, and even some parts of the film were very boring. When I accidentally saw that movie back then, after reading comedy films from countless periods and countless countries, especially "nonsensical" comedies, I inadvertently accepted other people's Amway and opened "Hidden Sky Flying Over the Sea"— —It is the sequel to the "Unprecedented and Unprecedented Flying in the Sky". At this time, I suddenly felt that I used to think that the root cause of the first dull and boring part of "Unprecedented and Unparalleled Flying All Over the Sky" was that it didn't get a laugh. I heard that someone watched the "Simpsons" animated series with a foreign friend. The foreign friend always laughed, but that person didn't laugh much. This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Of course, it is also possible that the person did not understand the slurs quoted in the animation. I was able to understand several obvious spoofs in the film when watching "Hidden Sky Over the Sea Feifei Fei Fei", and I could also understand several obvious jokes in the film, so this time I was able to indulge in "Hidden Sky Over the Sea Feifei Fei Fei".
The plot of this film is bluntly similar to the first "Unprecedented Flying All Over the Sky". An impending dangerous air crash minimized casualties due to the efforts of several main characters in the film. There are many air crash movies with this kind of plot mode, and we have also filmed them here in mainland China.
There are some seemingly boring comedies in the film. The male protagonist tells his own experience, but the old grandmother who listened to the story seemed to be vomiting due to airsickness. When the story ended, the old grandmother had become a pile of bones (indicating that the story told by the protagonist is very long); The female scammer who sells herself for the money, the stall she set up gradually attracted countless passengers; when the stewardess informed the passengers that there was an emergency on the shuttle, especially the coffee on the plane was gone, the passengers collapsed and riots occurred. These sections seem absurd, but they actually reflect the American black humor.
Before the film officially entered the main storyline, the smart computer in the cockpit of the space shuttle malfunctioned and started killing people and even threatened to blow up the space shuttle. However, the protagonist finally used the bomb carried by the terrorist who was on the flight to blow up the computer. . This design is obviously inspired by the villain (AI "Hal 9000") in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
In the later stage of the film, the space shuttle gradually approached the human base on the moon. This segment is very tense and exciting, and of course there is no lack of laughter and playfulness. But more importantly, the well-known Hollywood film and television actor William Shatner appeared in this paragraph, and as a movie released by Paramount, how can I not tease Xia Dalei for his Star Trek? So people who are familiar with Star Trek, especially those who are familiar with early Star Trek works (TOS, TAS and derivative movies), and those who like Xia Dalei, can enjoy the last half-hour of the film.
As a science fiction and comedy in the early 1980s, this film has the sense of age that it should have in the 1980s. In addition, the film quotes music from other movies, parody and joking about popular film and television dramas, inserts shots in other film and television works, and uses "rough" props and scenery. Whether these are deliberate or not, all make this film use From today's point of view, it has become a typical B-rated film, but this does not affect those who like American spoof comedies to see this crazy movie.
All in all, although this film is not suitable for repeated viewing, at least it is not in vain.
