Airport '77 (1977) D+
Universal (Jennings Lang Production)
The second of three sequels to Airport (1970), the trashy picture that began the disaster movie cycle, Jerry Jameson's "Airport 77" depicts a jet that sinks into the ocean, thus borrowing elements from "The Poseidon Adventure."
Like the other film, this one offers cameo roles to good and old actors, such as Jack Lemmon, Lee Grant, Brenda Vaccaro, George Kennedy, Olivia de Havilland, and even the honorable Jimmie Stewart.
