Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
m_pratt Amazing would not be enough to describe this film. Its magical and a must for on the buses fans. The scenario is that jack Stan and Blakey are out on their heel after causing an accident ramming the managers car and smashing a bus. We next see them seeking employment and they get a job at a holiday camp in North wales driving bus loads of tourists to and from the railway station sounds simple doesn't it? no it cant possibly be!! it turns out that jack and Stan haven't escaped from Blakey who is the head of security!!! And of course it wouldn't be a on the buses film without olive Arthur and the crew tagging along! and they leap from disaster to the next it ranges from olive walking into the gents getting into bed with the next door holidaymaker blowing up the toilet and having to redecorate the chalet because little Arthur fires paint or some substance on the walls and olive losing her bikini bottom in the pool. There is even a flash of bare breasts. I like this film very much even old man step toe appears doing a very good Irish accent. It makes a change to see the gang somewhere else instead of at home or at the bus depot and Stan and jack still cant leave the women alone!! what i like about this film is the 1970s atmosphere its relaxed and is interesting to see that holiday camps have changed very little today. And of course Jack and Stan and Blakey find themselves seeking employment again! at the end of the film for submerging a bus out at sea trying to get their leg over! and Blakey is sacked for what the manager thinks is the same thing! the film ends with Stan at his new job driving a demolition crane knocking down ( correct me if I'm wrong) what looks like the bus depot? so they would have got the sack anyway? I could go but all I'm going to say i really enjoyed it and its a pity a 4th film wasn't made.
Andrew-1589 The film is a third film, after On The Buses, Muninty On The Buses. Story Line: Stan & Jack also Inspector Blake loose there jobs, when Stan its the manager's car also causes damages to the bus as the Inspector Blake gets in trouble for not telling him about the bus coming. but Inspector Blake gets a job, why Stan & Jack cannot get a job. Why Arthur as to figure away for to get money for the hole family, but Lucky Jack finds a job in the paper, when it says busmen wanted for Pontings holiday camp, in Wales.& they both get jobs as busmen at pontings, but Inspector Blake as got a new job there as well as security guard, they met as Stan tries to get out of through the gates.but at the time Inspector Blake his going out with the nurse, but Jack his sneaking the nurse room, & benting to have broken his leg. but Blake must not find out because he would kill Jack, also the butler family stay with Stan at Pontings as well oh no trouble.-but I don't understand I thought Stan had went to work in the midlands in a factory, Arthur had divorced Olive, & Olive in Munity was excepting a baby in that, but there was only little Arthur.
paultheflumpgarrett holiday on the buses is a classic British movie, with plenty of jokes and comic references, this truly is up there with the carry on movies and not forgetting the confession movies. quality 10/10. not too be missed!!!! on the buses, mutiny on the buses and holiday on the buses completes the hat-trick, these films are a must for any fan of the 60's , 70's British movie era. all movies are just over an hour and twenty minutes long, I've been a fan since i was a boy. the story: fired from the bus depot jack and stan go beside the seaside on a holiday camp in wales to run the resorts transport, but when their former inspector blakey turns up as chief security inspector all hell is gonna break loose for stan and jack.
Tyrone_Smollox If you were growing up in Britain in the 1970s or early 80s, then Holiday On The Buses will provide you with a very potent hit of nostalgia that will doubtless get you talking about "the good old days". It's nobody's idea of sophisticated, and the arthouse crowd should avoid it like the plague, but if you approach it with an open mind you'll probably have a good time.It's all very predictable, of course, but it fits in nicely with a sub-genre of British comedy best described as "everything goes wrong" where it sits alongside Fawlty Towers and Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. There are plenty of minor stars on display soon, such as Grange Hill's Mr Bronson, regular Benny Hill sidekick Henry McGee, Joan from Love Thy Neighbour and the inimitable Arthur Mullard.It's not quite Carry On, but it passes the time painlessly.
