Am I Missing Something?

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I have seen this movie many times since it came out years ago. Many before me have said of this film that it is not funny and a waste of time. I could not agree more. If one likes lampooning and satire done with out reservation, this movie fill the bill. I find even now that this movie is a fine example of escapist fun. The story is great, it has it all and then some. One line I remember and still quote, " you never know where fate will take ya" and around the corner a man and his boys meet the Cyclops. I have shared this movie with friends and not all found it a howling good time, but most did. The Casting was perfect for this spoof and they all cracked some good ones, at times. Check it out for your self?

I have seen this film over and over since I was a kid. I love this movie. i can watch it start to finish any time. The acting is great and the lines never get old. I grew up on this movie and it is by far one of my all time top 5 movies. I encourage anyone who has never seen it to watch. Maybe I love it because I liked it as a kid and therefor I loved it as an adult. But, I have watched it very recently and still find it a great movie. Will always be one of my favorite movies of all time. I think anyone who watches this movie with an open mind will enjoy it and it will become one of their favorite as well. My sis and I grew up on this movie and we still, 17 years after the first time we watched it we still quote lines to each other. We never give cheers to each other without the all time "up yours" comment from the bicentennial dinner.

If you enjoyed (loved) those cult-favorite comedy classic from the early 80's, "Airplane!," "Get Crazy!" and "Bachelor Party" then you're in for a treat. "The Big Bus"(also known internationally as: "Cyclops, The World's Largest Bus") is a mid-70's comedy spoof. A bit similar to "Zucker/Abrahms" comedy "Airplane!," but perhaps not as funny. I remember watching this film as a kid (approx. 8 or 9) and could never forget the scene where they show a swimming pool enclosed in a dome on top of the bus, and the classic scene where a kitchen alley is filled cupboards high with soda pop.REZuleta

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.
