In this film, Ted Striker is brought back yet again and forced to pilot a prototype lunar shuttle that malfunctions and goes off course. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity
Without ZAZ at the helm and recycling much of the humor, it suffers from [[Sequelitis]] but is still a lot of fun for many viewers. Though the main joke is the title, [[Non-Indicative Name|there is no Airplane in the film]].▼

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adam Westing]]: [[William Shatner]].
* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Complete with [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' -- "What are you doing, Dave?"
Line 37 ⟶ 34:
* [[Cow Tools]]: The machine in Alpha Beta Base.
* [[Credits Gag]]: At the end, Joe Seluchi goes into the cockpit asking for his suitcase back.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The assumption that the moonscape would be a shirtsleeve environment with breathable atmosphere for the convenience of disembarking passengers.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Simon
* [[Droste Image]]: McCroskey in front of the framed photograph of himself, which contains a framed photograph of himself, etc. Recycled almost verbatim from the first film.
Line 93 ⟶ 91:
'''Airport officer 2:''' "I don't know. Ever since Reagan fired the controllers, he's been completely senile."
'''Airport officer 1:''' "Yeah, but what about McCroskey?" }}
** There's also one against [[Public Broadcasting Service]]: Two women discussing how the shuttle wouldn't have gotten into trouble in the first place if it had been piloted by vegetarian women instead of meat-eating men, while a third translates into sign language.
* [[Terrorists Without a Cause]]: Joe Seluchi tries to blow up the shuttle so his family can receive his insurance money; it turns out it was an auto insurance policy, not a life insurance policy.
{{quote|'''FBI Man:''' "That's right. This clown is impotent, suicidal, and incredibly stupid."}}
Line 111 ⟶ 109:
* [[You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?]]: Inverted. A young woman claims to be a virgin ([[Rule of Funny|repeatedly]]) to seduce a [[Right on Queue|long line]] of men apparently eager to relieve her of that problem.
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Several passengers from the first movie return as different characters (with pretty much the same personalities).
* [[Zeerust]]: Some of the technology displayed on this supposedly-futuristic lunar shuttle, such as the video displays, are analogue and [[Technology Marches On|primitive]] by modern standards.
