Plots(1)
The wild and crazy crew is in the sky again, and this time there's a mad bomber on board, the engines aren't working, and the angel of death keeps popping up in the cockpit. But worst of all, the flight attendants suddenly discover that they're completely out of coffee! (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
No, no, no, this second film is weak and piously looks up to its older brother and repeats its jokes as a result. And since we know that what is repeated either: a) becomes funny, or b) ceases to be a joke, we have a 50:50 chance here. Unfortunately, this film is almost all a). An excellent moment is William Shatner's short and fresh performance as captain of the Alpha Beta base, but then the list of positives is almost exhausted. It’s too bad, because the space environment had many possibilities for all sorts of parodies, but the film only had a few superficial jokes. Basically, the second film has more gags than the first film, but most of them are very awkward and filmed in an average way. And quantity, as we know, means quality, especially in socialism. Not in space. So, it’s an average parody...
