For the argument between announcers concerning the white and red zones at the airport, the producers hired the same voice artists who had made the real-world announcements at Los Angeles International Airport.

is a spoof of the Airport movies (which I did recently watch and review) and it's a spoof of an old black & white movie Zero Hour.
