Airplane: It's Captain Oveur, not Over
Changed line(s) 34 (click to see context) from:
* In ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', the conventions of the aircraft radio are played with by giving names to the flight crew that resemble common words used over the radio. The captain's last name is Over, the copilot's first name is Roger, and the navigator's first name is Victor. This leads to the captain saying, "what?" every time another crew member says "over" over[[note]]'''Captain Over:''' What?[[/note]] the radio, the copilot saying, "what" every time somebody says "Roger", and the navigator saying "what?" when asked to check a vector.

Note that due to the futuristic setting (and no real official word on how ''Franchise/StarWars'' communication tech works), it might have been plausible for some kind of handheld communication device to have some encryption or privacy that would prevent or hinder third parties from intercepting the signal, but here the comlink is treated as a conventional radio, where anyone can listen in.

** The "Codec" supposedly puts the sound straight into your earbones so only you hear the person talking to you (with ample opportunity for FridgeLogic, considering the speaker's own voice should still be very audible to their surroundings - this becomes particularly ridiculous in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', where characters standing barely two feet away from one another will decide to switch to nanocommunications for privacy). Plus, despite supposedly being an audio-only device, the HUD displays it almost like a videophone. On top of that, you have a number of people whose frequencies you have to find.
