The Big Bus is a 1976 American
James Frawley spoof comedy starring
Stockard Channing and
Joe Bologna. A spoof of most
disaster movies popular at the time, it follows the maiden cross-country trip—
New York to
Denver, non-stop—of an enormous
nuclear powered bus named Cyclops equipped with a bowling alley, swimming pool, formal dining room, piano bar ("The Oriental Lounge"), Automatic Washing System ("AWM"), Automatic Tire Changer, and The Flags of All Nations.
Actor
John Beck plays the co-driver "Shoulders" O'Brien, a nickname he acquired because he has
narcolepsy and often falls asleep and drives on the shoulders of the road. Coincidentally, he also happened to have big shoulders.
The Big Bus was notorious for its mostly bad reviews and disastrous performance at the box office. Nevertheless, it has gained something of a
cult following among fans of spoof comedies.
