About this product

Product Information

A star-studded cast headlines this outlandish spoof on disaster films in which a gigantic nuclear powered bus--containing a swimming pool, a bowling alley, and a piano bar--and goes out of control and nearly crashes while making a coast-to-coast journey. With a cannibalistic driver (Joseph Bologna) and an oil company man who is working overtime to sabotage the bus, the passengers (Stockard Channing, Richard Mulligan, Ruth Gordon, Rene Auberjonois, and more) assured a bumpy ride. Director James Frawley's (TV's The Monkees) is an obvious influence on 1980's AIRPLANE!.

Excellent!
Entertaining in the style of the "Airplane" movies and released at about the same time. It's entertainment pure and simple, if you want to kick back make a bowl of popcorn and relax and not have to think too much - this movie is perfect. All the characters are slightly if not moderately eccentric but a "hoot". I remember seeing it when it came out and have always wanted a copy - finally I got one and at a fair used price. The DVD itself was in excellent shape and I saved some money rather then having to buy "new". Most good re-sellers rate the condition very accurately rather than get "bad" reviews. If you're interested in this movie buy it you won't be disappointed I wasn't!

The hot dog stand at the beginning had me laughing. It went downhill from there.
