I saw The Big Bus several years ago and loved it!  I felt it was like an
early, more down to earth, version of Airplane.  The total casualness with
which some of the characters regarded their situations (like the truck in the
Piano bar) as well as the concepts (a nuclear-rocket powered bus) and the
ludicrous solutions ("Raise flags of all nations!") all contribute to this
movie.  Not to mention (but of course I will) the "James book of Bombs"
