Angels in Flight

About This Movie

Angels in Flight is one of those quirky comedies that dives headfirst into chaos, set aboard a flight that's supposed to be just a quick hop from San Francisco to San Jose. But it’s the 90s, and the script takes a wild detour into a cavalcade of sexual misadventures among the passengers and crew. The pacing is, let’s say, not what you’d expect - it drags and then races, almost mirroring the flight itself. The practical effects are minimal; it’s all about the dialogue and the over-the-top performances that keep the tone light despite the absurdity. You can sense the filmmakers were having fun, which makes this film a peculiar slice of aviation-themed humor, even if it doesn’t quite soar.

Angels in Flight has become somewhat of a curiosity in collector circles, often overlooked but appreciated for its unique take on in-flight comedy. As for format history, it's been released on VHS and some obscure DVD prints, but finding a quality copy can be a challenge due to its low profile. Collectors tend to seek it out not just for the laughs but as a representation of a specific era in comedy, reflecting that blend of raunchiness and slapstick that characterized much of the 90s film landscape.
