This is a stupid film. I admit it. The acting is very broad, the script is dopey as can be and every element of the film says "DUMB" but it all works because the film never takes itself seriously and makes no pretense. Yes, it is meant to be stupid! I mean, just think about the plot--an air or sea disaster movie that instead occurs on a bus! And, this is no ordinary bus, but seems about 25,000 square feet (minimum) inside--complete with a huge lounge, seating for a huge number of passengers and even a bowling alley!! Plus, you add other plot ideas like a co-driver named "Shoulders" because he keeps driving over the shoulders of the road, a bomb planted aboard and the bus is actually NUCLEAR-POWERED!!! This movie is pure escapist fun. If you want something deep or really enjoy the films or Fellini or Truffaut and hate anything else, then this movie is not for you. If you like pure dopiness and could use a laugh, then this film is exactly what you need.

Hilariously unsafe for driving
Mr-Fusion24 July 2017
"The Big Bus" is beyond absurd, rekindling the same sense of humor in "Airplane!" and flooring it into complete childishness. Both movies are so close, you'd call this a template; and while it doesn't achieve the same classic status, it kept that silly smile on my face for damn near the entire movie.
But it's not fair to make this a strict comparison between the two. Suffice it to say, it feels appropriate that it shares the same director with "The Muppet Movie". It's got a cast that's willing to sell the material - hard - and standouts include Rene Auberjonois as an unruly priest and Joseph Bologna (seriously, with a name like that) as the tormented captain at the wheel. And then there's the actual bus, comically oversized and always a visual gag.
It's a fun ride.

"Sure, everyone think's it's a snap driving a bus...it's no snap..."

Is a society that laughs so hard at its own fads humble, narcissistic, or both? This forgotten spoof, four years before "Airplane!," appeared after years of "Airport" and Irwin Allen films, just as disaster movies were being replaced by the Spielberg shockers that started with "Jaws" and led to "Jurassic Park" (X-treme Discovery Channel, but that's another story). Cylops, a nuclear-powered, double-decker, articulated luxury bus (an impressive set of props & sets) finishes development despite sabotage attacks that cripple the specially trained drivers. Venerable driver Dan Torrance (Bologna) is hired as a replacement even though he's in disgrace after a disastrous run in which he was accused of eating his passengers while stranded! The bus's designer, Kitty (Channing) is his former love whom he dumped after cheating on her repeatedly. The film is a mostly unsubtle jab at all-star disaster movies in which subplots are resolved by the characters being forced to find common ground to survive the burning building, burning airship, overturned liner, earthquake, et. al. Scruffy engineer Scotty (Beatty) and a fugitive housewife (Gordon) are openly based on George Kennedy's & Helen Hayes' characters in "Airport," respectively. There are also a failed priest (Auberjonois, spoofing his "MASH" role), an oversexed, vengeful fashion maven (Redgrave), a spoiled, bickering couple celebrating their divorce (Mulligan & Kellerman) and a vet disgraced for experimenting with lapine birth control (Dishy). Shull, as a terminally ill man, parodies Lionel Barrymore in "Grand Hotel," reminding us of how uncomfortably similar that old classic is to "The Towering Inferno." The bus's nemesis is a powerful family (Ferrer & Margolin) who create disasters to destroy technical innovation & are apparently responsible for most disasters, real or fictional, filmed since the 1950s, including the "Titanic." The script is wildly erratic, ranging from comic genius to contrived stupidity. The latter include the opening press conference & the encounter with the pickup truck. But the former include most of the scenes involving the bus, including the one in which Dan deals with a bomb, which was redone dramatically in "Speed" nearly 20 years later. Cyclops has a bowling alley, swimming pool & dining room, all hilariously reduced to dollhouse-size, as well as self-changing tires, an Automatic Washing Mechanism (AWM) and soda-pumping & luggage-ejection features. Despite its contrivances, the story holds together amazingly & even provides real suspense up to the very end. Bologna is a bit hammy as the troubled Bus Captain, but Channing is brilliant, both believable & funny, as the nuclear scientist/love interest. The scene in which she drives while sitting on the lap of unconscious co-driver Shoulders (Beck) is almost enough in itself to make the whole film worthwhile. But Murphy Dunne nearly steals the show as the most offensive lounge piano player ever ("Thank yooou!"). Despite the in-your-face satire, look for some very subtle comic touches like the jab at TV news & the pictures in Iron Man's hall.
Every Bad Gag, Done Well...

Saw this when first released, and it was a howler...but only to a genuine movie and TV fan.
In addition to the various disaster films of the 1970s, it also harkens back to some classic WWII films, the smarmy romances of the 60s and 70s, and not a small number of tidbits from television.
Our circle of friends who saw it together are all film nuts, and we spent days picking the film apart and identifying all of the references and parodies, and still find ones we missed whenever we catch it again.
It's not a spectacular film...hell, it's not even that great of a comedy if you don't get the parody references...but it _is_ one of those films that "hangs together" into a working product.
If you aren't a film buff, then simply sit down on the couch with your favorite nosh, and empty your mind to accept the totality...
And don't cut yourself on the broken milk carton.

Anticipating "Speed" meeting "Flying High"
Chase_Witherspoon27 September 2012
Not well known, "The Big Bus" is one of the earliest film parodies, sending up the "disaster" genre that was popular at the time. The amiable Bologna stars as the driver selected to steer a super bus, conceived on nuclear turbines, John Beck his nervous co-driver (nicknamed "Shoulders" because that's where he tends to drive), and a galaxy of TV stars who soon discover that terrorists have plans to turn the bus into a missile.
Maybe considered a pre-cursor of sorts to "Speed", there's a few minor giggles, some corny one-liners ("there's drinks for those who want them, and nothing for those who don't") and an amusing on-board piano entertainer (Murphy Dunne) who improvises his songs based on the circumstances of the guests ("welcome to the Oriental lounge", "six months to live, I've got six months to live"). Among the distinguished cast is Larry Hagman as a clueless doctor, Ruth Gordon playing an unsympathetic, bitter old duck, and Richard Mulligan and Sally Kellerman as a dysfunctional couple drinking to excess and bickering throughout the maiden journey much to the bemusement of their fellow guests.
Unlikely to leave you in stitches, it's a reasonable warm up to more animated parodies like "Flying High" and "The Naked Gun" which have subsequently raised the bar in the sub-genre.

Before there was Airplane! there was The Big Bus, a good and charming parody of heavy handed disaster dramas.

Coyote Bus Lines is set to reveal their newest innovation in Bus travel with the unveiling of Cyclops, a two story nuclear powered superbus complete with all the luxuries of a cruise ship and promising a non-stop trip from New York City to Denver. When an act of industrial espionage takes out the driver and cp-driver of the inaugural journey, the injured/parking lot confined Professor Baxter (Harold Gould) enlists his daughter Kitty (Stockard Channing) to recruit Kitty's former fiancé and once great bus driver, Dan Torrance (Joseph Bologna), much to Kitty's reluctance. Dan has had a tough go in recent years due to an incident on Mount Diablo where 110 passengers were lost to Cannibalism of Dan's co-pilot, but because he accidentally ate stew made from a foot he carries the stigma. Dan Agrees to pilot the big bus unaware that saboteurs have insidious plans to keep it from reaching Denver.
Released in 1976, The Big Bus was released at the height of the 70s wave of Disaster films with Universal's Airport series only on its first sequel and the Charlton Heston fronted ensemble Earthquake only two years prior. Directed by noted TV director James Frawley of The Monkees (who would go on to direct The Muppet Movie) and written and produced by noted TV writers Lawrence J. Cohen and Fred Freeman of Gilligan's Island, Andy Griffith, and Bewitched, the movie went mostly ignored at the box office during its initial run and eventually became overshadowed by the much more successful Airplane! Four years later. The Big Bus aired infrequently on TV after its release, not exactly getting a second life but did attract a minor cult following from those who remember it, and rightly so because while not as tight or sharp as Airplane it's a very funny farce that plays up its silliness and camp in fun and inventive ways.
Watching The Big Bus it does almost feel like a first draft of Airplane! With Ted Striker's character in airplane nearly identical to Dan Torrance with them both being "great pilots with tragic backstories" and even individual gags such as panicking the passengers over the intercom are done in a near identical fashion here to how'd they be done in Airplane four years later. This can probably be written off as mere coincidence since most of these as delivered are funhouse mirror exaggerations of the tricks and tropes seen in films of the Irwin Allen variety or the Airport films, but it still is pretty glaring in terms of the similarity. While The Big Bus doesn't have the extra level of polish Airplane! Had, I think the movie still makes itself a worthwhile viewing even outside of its historical curiosity preceding Airplane!.
Much like the disaster epics it spoofs, The Big Bus features a veritable "who's who?" of talent with the likes of Joseph Bologna, Stockard Channing, René Auberjonois, Sally Kellerman, Richard Mulligan, Ned Beatty, and too many other to mention who all play the collection of broad eccentrics with gusto fitting well in line with the cartoonish and anarchic tone set by the film. From Sally Kellerman andRichard Mulligan's on/off soon to be divorced couple who go from hurling insults at each other to going just shy of full intercourse on the bus floor, to Murphy Dunne as lounge piano player Tommy Joyce playing inappropriate commentary/music at the worst possible times, the movie knows it has a killer cast and does everything it can to put them in bits of sheer ridiculousness that'll crack a smile on even the most harsh of viewers. Everyone brings their "A" game treating the ridiculousness and madness with complete seriousness as if they're actually in an Irwin Allen film. The one downside would probably be in the film's antagonist, known only as "Ironman"(José Ferrer), who's just kind of there. His gimmick is spending all of his time in an Iron Lung and his exchanges with his henchman sabotaging the titular bus are unfortunately some of the major dead spots in the movie that curtail the film's momentum.
The Big Bus may not be as well known as Airplane!, but it is an enjoyable disaster farce that humorously treats its ridiculous nuclear powered bus with the same reverence and melodrama seen in the Airport films and turning the tropes on their heads into comic silver (not quite gold, but on the cusp). It's a shame the movie isn't more widely known because it runs at a quick clip keeping the sight gags, exchanges, and chaos coming to mostly successful effect save for the occasional dead spot. If you enjoyed Airpalne!, you owe it to yourself to see the film that cleared the way for it.

It would have been a lot better if it had been made by Mel Brooks
JamesHitchcock9 October 2006
The popularity of the disaster movie in the early seventies meant that it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to parody the genre. Probably the funniest disaster movie parody is "The Cassandra Crossing", but that was intended to be a serious film and only counts as a parody because it was so badly made. The best-known deliberate disaster movie spoof is "Airplane" from 1980, but four years earlier there was "The Big Bus". The opening voice-over makes it clear what the film's targets are, as there are obvious implied references to "The Poseidon Adventure", "Earthquake", "The Towering Inferno" and "The Hindenburg".
The plot concerns the maiden journey (from New York to Denver) of the world's first nuclear powered bus and the attempts that are made to sabotage it on behalf of the oil industry. "Straight" disaster movies are often based around the concept of a motley collection of people, brought together by chance, who are forced to work together by the threatened disaster. "The Big Bus" seizes hold of this concept and takes it to the limit. The passengers include a priest who has lost his faith (his arguments in favour of atheism include the claim that a just God would have given the devout old lady next to him a window seat rather than an aisle seat), an about-to-be-divorced couple who bicker constantly when they are not trying to seduce one another, and a man who has only six months to live and constantly reminds everyone of the fact.
The crew are just as eccentric as the passengers; Dan the driver (who is also the ex-boyfriend of the bus's female designer) is a suspected cannibal, although he defends himself by claiming that he only ever ate a single foot. ("You eat one lousy foot and they call you a cannibal. What a world!") The co-driver (named "Shoulders" because of an unfortunate tendency to drive on the shoulders of the road) also has an even more unfortunate tendency to fall asleep at the wrong moment, including while driving. There is also a scantily-dressed stewardess named (satirising the American fondness for double-barrelled Christian names) Mary-Jane-Beth-Sue and an appallingly tactless and tasteless piano player.
Some of the humour in "The Big Bus" comes from sending up the conventions of the genre, such as exaggeratedly portentous music or the scene (probably inspired by "The Poseidon Adventure") where Dan has to rescue his ex-girlfriend Stockard Channing from drowning in soft drinks. Its targets, however, range wider than the confines of the disaster genre. The faithless priest Father Kudos, for example, is an obvious reference to Father Karras in "The Exorcist", and the use of the opening theme from Richard Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" may echo its earlier use in Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". The scene where the bus is left seesawing on the edge of a cliff is taken from the ending to "The Italian Job". Indeed, the film's range of targets is not confined to the cinema. The constant mentions of cannibalism seem to be a reference to Piers Paul Read's book "Alive!", about a plane crash in the Andes, which was a bestseller in the seventies but which was not made into a film until 1993.
Perhaps it was this scattergun approach, firing off its satirical bullets in all directions, which meant that I did not find the film particularly funny. It might have worked better if it had concentrated on sending up the disaster genre and had not tried to cram in so many extra targets. When you are aiming at so many targets, you need to hit them all, and too many of the bullets are either duds or fly harmlessly wide. For every funny joke there are several unfunny ones. As I watched this film, I couldn't help thinking that it would had been a lot better if Mel Brooks, the master of the parody, had been the director. 4/10

Great laughs, also test-driven by a popular car magazine
kgac13 May 2006
Saw this movie when it was new, couldn't stop laughing at the parodies on the other current disaster movies, as well as at the visual and audible puns contained. I gave it a "7" score, because the laughs turn into groans, and you can't take anything seen or heard seriously. The whole flick is sort of one giant bad (and that's good) pun!!! Either"Car and Driver", or "Road and Track", at the time, did a test drive feature on the bus - biggest problem was that it couldn't get under the access bridge over the track, so couldn't do full laps. Yes, this was in an April issue. I suppose a little more web-searching will turn up the identity of the magazine and probably a source for a copy of it!
The Big Bus did it first, but not best.
BA_Harrison27 June 2014
Four years before the successful take off of Zucker and Abraham's smash hit spoof Airplane! (1980), director James Frawley's The Big Bus explored remarkably similar territory, lampooning the popular disaster genre in a crazy scatter-shot style. The film's titular vehicle is the world's first nuclear powered bus, a giant, luxury, 32-wheeled metallic titan called Cyclops embarking on its maiden journey travelling non-stop from New York to Denver; unfortunately for the passengers and crew, a crazed oil magnate is out to discredit the bus by putting it permanently out of service by any means necessary.
Like Airplane, the absurd goof-ball gags come thick and fast, but The Big Bus's batting average isn't quite as high, a lot of the humour falling rather flat. The film's best bits are its more subtle, throw-away humorous moments, although I imagine that a lot of these might easily be missed on the first viewing. As the film thunders towards its conclusion, the bus loses its brakes and picks up speed, careening round perilous mountain roads; when the bus eventually grinds to a halt (over the edge of a precipice) so do the film's laughs, the remainder of the action being dull and predictable.

Before Airplane, there was The Big Bus !
elshikh426 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It's remarkable that the favorite subject for the rising trend of parody movies in the 1970s end, and the 1980s start, was the disaster movies. Just remember (The Big Bus - 1976), (Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! - 1978), (Airplane! - 1980), and (Airplane II: The Sequel - 1982). Though, I deem it natural because of what the disaster movies caused of satiety during the whole 1970s decade. Plus, some real disastrous experiences that came in the late 1970s such as (The Swarm - 1978), (The Concorde ... Airport '79 - 1979), and (When Time Ran Out - 1980), which were parodies of themselves already!
As you see, (The Big Bus) took the initiative to mock at that genre, which inaugurated yet another genre. And while it isn't (Airplane), it has the seed of its fresh craziness. For instance: the matter of the lead being accused of "eating" people, the cemetery scene, and the bar fight; which's the movie's best moment.
Originally, it seems as if (Airplane) took a lot from this movie, like: the character of a pilot with a troubling past, who's needed suddenly to save the day. How his ex-girlfriend is on the same ride. Or how they come back to each other in the end. Let alone a scene where the stewardesses demonstrate to the riders what to do while the trip is in danger!
The bus was huge with fabulous design. The running gag of the bus's singer was super. And since the first time I watched him years ago, till now, I believe that Joseph Bologna is one the most underrated comedians ever. That guy was great. He could do cracking comedy with the littlest efforts. It's a shame that he wasn't a star in many movies or TV shows as he should have been.
Director James Frawley has many funny bones, and - sorrowfully - not many movies. However, his comic energy can be felt in countless TV episodes of shows like (Columbo), (Magnum P.I.), (Tales of the Gold Monkey), and (Vengeance Unlimited). Or a movie like (The Muppet Movie - 1979).
Now, to the negative points. And the first one comes to my mind is Stockard Channing. OH MY GOD, who thought of hiring her in a leading role in a comedy?? She looks like an awful version of Elizabeth Taylor, and I don't like Elizabeth Taylor! Channing has no nice presence, and no talent for comedy, so why she was here anyway??!!
The characters on the bus were few, and even fewer of them were interesting. David Shire's music is all the time excited, maybe for parodying the music of other disaster movies, but eventually it didn't work for me.
Some of the jokes didn't hit the "funny" mark, like when all the riders had to wear bizarre costumes in the end. And some of them weren't utilized smartly, like the idea of how the evil guy lives in a metal cocoon. Or attaching the scientist father into the ground against his well, which while being creative, it was used laconically.
Speaking of laconic things, the end is, with fabricated defeat for the evil guys, and such an incomprehensible surviving for the good guys; I still don't know how the lead saved the bus over the cliffhanger! Add to that, extremely dull ending shot, and you'll get why this good movie feels not so good for many viewers.
It is short, and runs out of clever idea nearly halfway through it. But for the most part, it's a wonderful comedy, little ahead of its time, and the true disaster is that it isn't any famous.

Cannot recommend .......................
merklekranz2 February 2010
Seeing the interesting cast of mostly character actors, I was expecting more laughs from "The Big Bus". Even though it tries hard, nine out of ten jokes misfire, and are just plain silly or stupid. Another problem is the same joke is worked to death, for example the Diablo Pass incident, or the doctor caring for his patient in the parking lot. Other jokes simply go on for far too long and become tedious. The nuclear bus visuals are impressive, but overall the characters seem more like they are doing stand up comedy, than playing in a movie. A very frantic finish is the best part of the film, but even that cannot save "The Big Bus". - MERK

I probably shouldn't like this film, but sweet damn, I do. Very much.
By way of synopsis: this is the story of the inaugural non-stop atomic bus service from New York to Denver. Cyclops, an articulated twin deck bus (with a swimming pool and a bowling alley on board of course), is beset by various unlikely perils en route.
This venerable spoof predates "Airplane!" by four years, and is at least its equal in cheesy quality. This film is cheese, and it's matured for 28 years. With no word of a lie, it is THE cheesiest film I have ever seen, and I've witnessed some fine acts of cheese.
And there are some pretty bad moments to be sure, the sort of moments where you cringe so violently that ligaments tear, but there's comedy of fine calibre in this too: both by way of deadpan "throwaway" lines, and the overall situation (sublimely funny).
The grandfather of a genre (and I'd argue, an exemplar), The Big Bus deserves far more recognition than it presently receives. A fine spoof with no high ideas of itself, which doesn't need to stoop low... by virtue of starting low. Perhaps that's my favourite thing about this film: it was written, acted, and produced without shame. And for that, it's the best quality low quality you'll ever see.

The Ultimate In Cheezzy Sets Pridictable Jokes and Lame Dialogue!

That said The BIG BUS is just interesting enough to make you never want to turn it off once you start watching it. The BIG BUS is insidicous in its nature. The BIG BUS lures you into its silly mindless plot. The BIG BUS is not about serious movie making or production values or, deeper meanings. It almost seems someone had a few weeks to kill in Hollywood and a bit of unexposed film laying about and, a few favors to call in from industry friends and, the BIG BUS was the result of that otherwise shared idle time. For a film that aspired to so little its odd they hit the mark. To say this film is chewing gum for the eyes would suggest it had hidden in it some posh deep seeded ideal which it doesn't. The BIG BUS far from being chewing gum for the eyes is more like cotton candy for the eyes. Like Cotton Candy the Big BUS is just sticky and messy enough to get you caught up in it but the whole time your brain is finding new and heitherfore unexplored depths to the meaning of the words stuck in neutral gear. You should watch the BIG BUS for the same reason you eat Cotton Candy. The BIG BUS is the movie you want to see when you just want to spend time focusing your energy on the active art of enjoying an experience that too soon melts in your mind becoming nothing but a nagging memory in its all too sweet but crowded hour!
Sidesplittingly unfunny
Stu-4210 March 2005
After about 20 minutes I could see where this was headed and it became one of the few films I just couldn't watch completely. Oh, I left it on just to see if anyone would say something funny while I thumbed through an almanac. Needless to say it didn't happen. I really wanted to like this movie too which makes it a shame. All the actors including one of my favorites, Ruth Gordon just couldn't do anything with an unbelievably not-funny script. I even tried to like it in the same way I did Airplane, which had what I call stupid-humor. This was just stupid. Even some interesting action ideas were made as to have me turn my head away after a couple minutes. Avoids a 1 because of Gordon, the piano player and one nice stunt sequence on the mountain.
Original and hilarious spoof of disaster films.
ffwcsec10 February 2003
"The Big Bus" was released in 1976, four years before the landmark disaster flick-spoof, "Airplane!". Why "The Big Bus" was not as popular a film is a mystery, because it is every bit as funny as "Airplane!". The dialogue is witty, the sight gags are hilarious and plentiful, and the acting is just dead-pan enough to make it all work. Joseph Bologna and Stockard Channing head up an all-star cast heading from New York to Denver on a nuclear-powered bus, which is supposed to make the trip with no stops, but of course, disasters ensue. The bus is a luxury vehicle, complete with a piano bar, swimming pool, bowling alley and dining room. If you haven't seen "The Big Bus" check it out. It will make you laugh out loud.
THE BIG BUS (James Frawley, 1976) **1/2
Bunuel197615 January 2009
Preceding the far more popular AIRPLANE! (1980) in its spoof of blockbuster disaster movies by four years, this is a patchy but reasonably amusing ride in its own right The titular nuclear-powered vehicle was designed by Stockard Channing, constructed by her father Harold Gould (who, in his turn, is cared for by reluctant doctor Larry Hagman), driven by disgraced 'cannibal' Joseph Bologna, steered from the controls center by Ned Beatty and sought for destruction by "Ironman" Jose' Ferrer! As befits its pedigree, the passengers are an equally colorful, starry lot: an on-again/off-again couple (Richard Mulligan and Sally Kellerman), a dotty old lady (Ruth Gordon), a bitchy nymphomaniac of a celebrity (Lynn Redgrave), a doubting priest (Rene Auberjonois), etc. The film loses steam in the latter half because its biggest laughs occur before the actual journey starts, in particular during a bar-room brawl at a drivers' hang-out where Bologna is picked on by everybody except for one called Shoulders (John Beck) who, after earning a co-driver's seat on The Big Bus, soon reveals the meaning behind his nickname he's narcoleptic!
The aviophobic answer for travel
SimonJack18 August 2019
Before there was "Airplane" (1980), there was "The Big Bus." This Paramount picture set out to join the list of all the "big" things and events. The opening credits and dialog say that the Cyclops was out to top all the other big achievements. It's a nuclear-powered mega bus. I think this film is worth catching just to see the behemoth of a bus. One wonders what motor company might have made the bus for the movie.
This film has a few funny segments, but too few. It has some funny dialog, but some crass dialog and profanity passed off as humor doesn't work. The idea for this film is good. It's a hilarious spoof of airline travel, the space program, disaster films, and any number of professions. Most characters are very good, and the actors in their roles are good. The film has several prominent actors in little more than cameo roles. Most of those add humor. Jose Ferrer is especially good and funny as Ironman, and John Beck is hilarious as Shoulders O'Brien.
But the screenplay needed lots of work. The story sags in places, the humor runs out quickly, and it could do without the profanity. This film had great potential for a very funny satire, but it sputters in places and runs out of gas toward the end.
How far out is the idea of a super mega-bus? Well, by 1976 most people who had to travel wanted to get to their destination as quickly as possible. Air travel was the demise of long-distance rail passenger service in the U.S. But, well past the middle of the 20th century, there still were more than a few people who didn't like to fly. Some had great fear of flying. So, the Coyote Bus Lines invented the Cyclops to meet their needs and deliver passengers by roadway in comfort and leisure. It also would do away with the burning of fossil fuels - a subplot in the film that is the basis for some of the humor.
The spoofing is even obvious in the scenery and the route of the non-stop trip from New York to Denver. Denver sits on the East side of the Rocky Mountains - at the foot of the Front Range. But the movie has the bus driving high in the mountains just before Denver.
This movie had great potential. A good rewrite of the screenplay might have made it a smash hit.

Interesting 70's Time Capsule
cdale-4139224 January 2019
The Big Bus is a disaster spoof that predates Airplane and stars a variety of 70's B-List actors. At first glance it didn't seem very promising, but I was surprised by just how funny it was.
Cyclops (the Big Bus itself) is a double decker nuclear powered bus that is set to make its maiden voyage from New York City nonstop to Denver. It's like one of those tents you see in cartoons where the interior is much larger than the exterior. The bus has a bowling alley, a pool, a large dining room, a cocktail lounge with a piano player, a private suite with a lavish bathroom, etc ...
There is a terrorist bombing (by someone connected to the oil industry) that injures the original drivers, so the bus designer's daughter, Kitty Baxter (Stockard Channing), must rely on her ex-fiancé, Dan Torrence (Joseph Bologna), to drive it. And of course, there's a lot of backstory and drama between the two.
There's a variety of silly situations, funny characters, and sight gags. Much of it is genuinely funny (if a bit dated), but there are also some gags and characters that fall completely flat. Much of the last half involves dealing with a bomb that has been planted by the aforementioned terrorist group.
Overall, it's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes and enjoy a few laughs.

Big Bus was the original....Airplane a copy!!
elo-equipamentos28 February 2019
Big Bus was the very first satire of the disaster movies from early 70', apart the fantastic real double Big Bust made in first class manufacturating with futuristic design that promoted a great impact in the movie itself, also a dificult scenes on the cliff where the bus stayed on teeter-totter, however the most weak parts were the unfunny or dated dialogues with bad taste gags where is fairly ridiculous as also happened with Airplaine too, the casting is average without a great stars, somehow didn't disappointed totally, waiting for an official release in Brazil!!!

A Funny Story about this Movie
matthewstevens4 April 2006
There's a funny story about this movie. My dad said he remembered liking it and showed it to me. I was eager to see it, since he raved on it. During the movie, I laughed a little bit, maybe once or twice, but that's it. I didn't want to make him sad, so I pretended to laugh. When it was done, my dad and I didn't talk. For a while, we turned the movie off in silence. After about two minutes, my dad says "Wow, I..uhh...don't remember it being that bad. Sorry.". I was glad that he hated it too. We hated it together. It was not a funny movie at all. Actually, towards the end, he asked me if I wanted to turn it off, since it was so bad, but I said no. I didn't know that was what he meant, though. Look, don't see this. PLEASE! Just don't. Save an hour and a half of your life. Please.
If it wasn't for the cast, the bomb would have been in the theater as well as on the bus.

Warning: Spoilers
Everybody outside of George Kennedy and Karen Black who was anybody in the 1970's seems to be in this movie, a spoof of disaster films later done much better as "Airplane!". It's a rough ride in more ways than one for the drivers, stewardesses and passengers as this giant nuclear powered bus makes its way from New York to Denver, not realizing that madman Jose Ferrer has arranged for a bomb to be planted on it. Joseph Bologna is the trouble laden driver once accused of canabalism while driving in the mountains, and ex-girlfriend Stockard Channing is the head of the crew.
They are joined by John Beck as the co-driver, and Lynn Redgrave, Rene Auberjonois, Ruth Gordon, Sally Kellerman and Richard Mulligan among the eccentric passengers. Add in Larry Hagman, Vic Tayback, Ned Beatty and Harold Gould, a very untalented lounge pianist, and other assorted weird characters. The jokes are hit and miss, better discovered through viewing than reading about. But for pre-"Airplane!" audiences who saw this when it came out or was first on network TV, it's a nostalgic treat.
My personal favorite moments include embittered priest Rene's choice of a hymn after a near fatal disaster, Stockard's narration of how to put on the nuclear suit in case of leakage and her own near demise nearly drowning in soda. Of course, Gordon's adorable, Kellerman has that great breathy voice (as a soon to be divorced woman lusting after the husband, Mulligan, she hates) and Redgrave is fun as a sophisticated clothing designer with a loose appetite for men and an eye for revenge. This isn't one of the best comedies of the 70's, but it's not a complete disaster either.

moonspinner553 July 2017
A double-decker, nuclear-powered super-bus called the Cyclops One makes its maiden voyage from New York City to Denver, but immediately there are problems: the scientist behind Cyclops One was almost killed before the bus even left the terminal, while the lead driver is under duress from a recent bus crash in which he was accused of eating the passengers...oh and, yes, there's a bomb on-board. In 1976, disaster movies hadn't yet outlived their usefulness as "dramatic entertainment", so "The Big Bus" came off as cynical (it was really just two or three years ahead of its time). There are some big laughs, mostly early on: René Auberjonois is dryly funny as a frustrated priest, Lynn Redgrave as a fashionista has a great bit dressing the passengers in her new Fall line, Ruth Gordon is a hoot as always playing a mouthy old lady (what else?) and Murphy Dunne is terrific as lounge pianist Tommy Joyce. The screenplay by Lawrence J. Cohen and Fred Freeman flirts with outrageousness without ever getting us there. The movie, filled with familiar goof-offs from television, is too middle-of-the-road to provide the kind of lunatic highs David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abraham would eventually deliver with 1980's "Airplane!" This plays more like a Mel Brooks clone, something along the lines of "Silent Movie". ** from ****
A spoof B.A. (Before "Airplane!")....
Mister-611 September 1999
The sight gags are all there, there's silliness to spare and there's not a ZAZ (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker - the creators of "Airplane!") member in sight.
Yep, "The Big Bus" was the predecessor to the long and luxuriant line of disaster spoofs you see lining the video shelves today. And to tell the truth, as a groundbreaker in this field, this movie is pretty funny.
Bologna is a down-and-out bus driver who is given one shot at redemption by being picked to man the Cyclops, the biggest single bus ever created, driving it coast to coast.
His old girlfriend (Channing) is a kind of bus stewardess on board and an old driving buddy (Beck) is also by his side. But so are a load of passengers as diverse as your average "Airport" or "Poseidon Adventure" movie, not to mention an inept terrorist (Margolin) trying to sabotage the bus at every turn while whining to his brother, "Why did YOU get the iron lung?".
It's that kind of movie.
You'll have a lot of fun picking out every star you can imagine from the '70s here, as well as discovering the jibes at every major convention of disaster movies, even the digs at the huge Cyclops bus itself ("The coyote is on backwards." Never mind, you'll see.)
Definitely a funny and fun movie. Get on this "Bus".
Ten stars for being one of the first on this bandwagon, as well as for some big laughs. And if you have a co-pilot for a huge bus, make sure he stays conscious.

Contrary to this other guy's review...
eve_lorenzen21 May 2005
This just might be one of the worst movies made. A million movies, particularly in the 70s, predating the Zucker brothers (airplane etc), used this kind of humor. The Zucker brothers were the first to do it well. Prior to them, it's garbage and horribly, horribly unfunny.
Not even campy enough to be a cult classic. You will just groan and wonder when it's over.
(and IMDb will not accept this review unless I make it longer, as if there was anything more to say about the film. It's just bad, okay? Like really really really bad. I feel like I'm writing an essay for school that has to be 500 words. I only stopped on this big bus page because I was showing my friend here that this movie I was describing does actually exist. hard as it is to believe they made a movie this stupid, they really did. The 70s had a lot of really bad comedies like this, that weren't even very funny then, and when you add how dated it is now, it's just horribly tedious. I read this other guy's review about how amazingly funny this movie is, Airplane-quality and all that, and found his review funnier than anything in The Big Bus. decided to write a brief review as a warning that if you're looking for a campy 70s comedy, there are films in this line of sludge that are better, such as Car Wash. Some films aren't even amusing in a camp sense when they've lost all the rest of their appeal... this is one of them. Okay IMDb, care to take this review yet?)

Glorious Nonsense!

This film was a great way to spend an hour and a half winding up the day. I went to bed with a smile on my face!
It is not quite a "it's so bad it's good " type of film but it came close.
Don't take it seriously, let them off with a few flat jokes, and you'll have a giggle!
