Taking Off

About This Movie

Taking Off is a curious blend of cheeky comedy and suggestive charm. The film, while a bit of a hidden gem, brings together a cast of lively stewardesses who navigate the skies with a mix of flirtation and light heartedness. There's a certain carefree atmosphere that pervades the entire piece, with pacing that keeps it breezy but not too rushed. The performances are sincere, and the practical effects, especially in the in-flight antics, add a tangible layer that today's digital effects often miss. It's not your typical airborne fare, and that’s what gives it a unique flavor.

Taking Off was released on various formats, yet the availability has dwindled over the years, which has sparked interest among collectors. The film's rather niche appeal means it doesn't pop up often at conventions or estate sales, but when it does, it's typically snatched up quickly. The scarcity and unique premise contribute to its allure, making it a conversation piece for dedicated collectors who appreciate this offbeat corner of 80s cinema.
