 dOc DVD Review: The Big Bus (1976)
Interestingly, the producer of The Big Bus is Julia "You'll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again" Philips (with husband Mark), between her blockbuster jobs on The Sting and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The Big Bus is an early big screen effort by veteran television director James Frawley, who also directed The Muppet Movie.
The Big Bus is better than that as one could certainly enjoy the humor of this film without ever having seen any of the big disaster films, but there are quite a few more specific referential gags that are funnier when the source is known.
