William Shatner's famous cameo in one comedy film should be talked about more

William Shatner is most known for his dramatic acting. It's long been his calling card but despite his turns on the Twilight Zone, T.J. Hooker, and Star Trek, Shatner has proven himself to be quite good at comedy. Most newer fans will likely remember him on the hit show, Boston Legal, where he was charming and funny, yet that wasn't really his first dance with comedy.
Nor was it his best. For those who may not know this, William Shatner had a minor appearance in the second Airplane film. Entitled Airplane II: The Sequel, the film features a similar concept to the first one, but instead of it just being a plane, it's a spaceship. Something Shatner is profoundly familiar with.
The film, as a whole, doesn't live up to the profound impact of the first, nor the quality. Yet, Shatner's surprise cameo near the end of the film makes it worth watching.
