Pretty much the same movie as Airplane!, but less funny.

THE BIG BUS, if nothing else, has a place in film history as a sort of proto-AIRPLANE!, and the later (and better) film does in fact owe a deal to it--THE BLUES BROTHERS and SPACEBALLS also took a joke or two from it. On its own, it's uneven; the script is weak and the directing merely adequate. Generally solid performances, though, Stockard Channing and Murphy Dunne in particular. Also, a duel with a milk carton and a candle. Decent fun, but more a curiosity item than anything else.

Tragically awful, and yet hysterically funny in spots. Six months to live, just six months to live . . . a disaster in every respect.

"Raise the flags of many nations!" Not really good, but it means well, and some of it is actually funny.

An early attempt at an airplane/flying high style satire that kinda works but only at certain times. Love the bus itself though
