I really like the sequel. No, I'll go one step further – I love the sequel. It's missing some major players, both in front and behind the camera. But really, Airplane II has some seriously funny gags.
While Airplane II, proves to be a breezy and tolerably consistent follow-up to its successful prototype, a parodistic copy that relied less on jokes from the original might have seemed a shade fresher. [11 Dec 1982, p.C1]

This is a film I will always enjoy it's not as good as the first but it's still really good in my opinion

Very hit and miss and not a patch on the first spoof but when a joke strikes home it'll have you going for a while.
The first five or 10 minutes of Airplane II -- The Sequel are genuinely funny -- so funny I thought maybe this movie was going to work. That turned out to be a premature hope. The new inspirations quickly run out, and Airplane II turns into a retread, plundering the same situations and characters that made the original Airplane so funny.
This sequel to AIRPLANE! is just as crammed with sight gags and sophomoric humor as its predecessor, but the novelty has worn off and the humor worn thin. A cast of mainly Hollywood has-beens and unknowns enjoys itself in this spoof of disaster movies, this time centering around a space shuttle headed for a crash. The various bits and cameos flash past without providing the laughs AIRPLANE! delivered.
It can’t be said that Airplane II is no better or worse than its predecessor. It is far worse, but might seem funnier had there been no original.
Airplane II opens promisingly with a spate of hit-and-run gags, but the picture sags in the middle and lies flat for the last half-hour. Bringing on the rigor mortis is the appearance of William Shatner, playing the lunar-base commander who must guide Hays' troubled space shuttle to a safe landing. [14 Dec 1982, p.D14]
Even if it's not great, this isn't awful either. It remains the greatest film ever, especially given how popular contemporary spoofs are. The fact that this movie simply recycles a lot of the humour from the first one seems to be my primary issue with it. The peculiarity is that the jokes they do employ are hilarious. Simply put, it accomplishes nothing better than the original.

Die Fortsetzung von Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten
Flugzeug ist schwächer als sein Vorgänger. Der Humor ist immer noch da aber nicht mehr so viel. Es ist eine solide Fortsetzung hat mich aber nicht mehr so eingeholt wie der erste. Es sind die gleichen Charaktere wie im Vorgänger zu sehen außer Leslie Nielsen und leider auch der Autopilot. Den Film kann man auch gucken, würde aber eher zum Ersten Teil raten oder Der nackten Kanone oder einen der ersten drei Scary Movie Filme.
6,5/10

Airplane II: The Sequel is a bad sequel. The sequel only uses the ideas of the original without adding anything new. The idea is poorly implemented, jokes do not go into any comparison with the original. In general, you can see once, but from the original there are only actors and the name.
