Who played Wino Willie?
He looks familiar, but I don't see him in the credits.
shareI'm pretty sure it's the comic Bill Kirchenbauer, who was also uncredited in Airplane around the same time.
shareYou are correct! I saw it recently and recognized him right off the bat. Matter of fact, I recorded it. Too bad it wasn't on one of the cable channels - so there are commercials.
shareHe played the dad in the series Just the 10 of us, which oddly was one of the shows I remember watching a lot at that time, that was 8 years after this movie, 1988, the show ran for 3 years but it seemed longer to me. then again I was only 8-10years old. Kirchenbauer does appear to be a guy with quite an oddball sense of humour, kind of like paul reubens in the cheech and chong movies, it seems that type of thing was common in movies in tha late 70's and early to mid 80's where comedians would be allowed to perform within movies but because they didnt adhere to any standardized script and just improved their characters they were technically not apart of the cast of characters
