Soul plane [videorecording] / by Method Man.(CARDINAL)340094; Snoop Dogg,1972-(CARDINAL)346189; Arnold, Tom,1959-; Hart, Kevin.(CARDINAL)844861; Terrero, Jessy,1975-drt.; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.(CARDINAL)150193; MGM Home Entertainment Inc.(CARDINAL)533205;
Director of photography, Jonathan Sela ; editor, Michael R. Miller ; music, The RZA ; costume designer, Shawn Barton ; production designer, Robb Buono.Tom Arnold, Kevin Hart, Method Man, Snoop Dogg, K.D. Aubert, Godfrey, Brian Hooks, D.L. Hughley.After an encounter with a faulty airline toilet, Dakwon sues the offending airline, and wins 100 million dollars for his pain and suffering. Flushed with cash, Dakwon decides to start his own airline called NWA. With a purple exterior, an interior to die for, the first flight of the new airline is about to take off. But with a pilot who can't fly, white passengers who are clearly out of their element, crazy security officers, and a crew too wrapped up in their own problems to deal with the passengers, Dakwon's dreams just might crash before they even get off the ground.Continually referred to as the "urban" version of the 1980 goofy hit "Airplane!" this film also revolves around a series of jokes, is set on an airplane and ultimately relies on someone other than the pilot to save the crew and passengers from crashing. When Nashawn Wade (played by Kevin Hart) wins a hefty lawsuit against an airline company, he decides to reinvest the funds into his own airline. The plane he purchases and refurbishes for his "NWA" airline is resplendent in purple plush velour glory and replete with music-video worthy stewardesses and fully-loaded casino, bar and dance club. For their maiden voyage, Nashawn has hired Captain Mack (played by actor/music artist Snoop Dogg) and his co-pilot Gaeman (played by comedian G-dfrey) to fly the plane. When things go awry with this plan, Nashawn is faced with the prospect of flying the plane himself and avoiding a crash landing. Method Man, Missi Pyle and Tom Arnold round out the cast. MPAA rating: Unrated; for strong sexual content, language and drug use.DVD, region 1, widescreen (1.85:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, DTS, SDDS.
