豆知識

On the Buses is a 1971 British comedy film directed by Harry Booth and starring Reg Varney, Doris Hare, Michael Robbins, Anna Karen, Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant. The film was written and produced by Ronald Chesney and Ronald Wolfe for Hammer Films.

Production

Hammer signed a deal with EMI Films to make a series of movies, mostly horror films but one comedy, On the Buses. The film was reportedly the idea of Brian Lawrence, Hammer executive. It was Hammer's first comedy in a decade.

The film was made on location and at Elstree Studios at Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Stage 5 at Elstree was used for the exteriors of the bus station both in this film and in the sequels.

The film includes shots of a London AEC Routemaster RM200 (VLT 200) undergoing the skid tests at the Chiswick Works skidpad. Stephen Lewis performed part of the stunt himself where Blakey is hanging off the rear platform of the bus while it skids at high speed. Lewis was attached to the inside of the bus with a hidden rope while the camera filmed him from inside. Only the exterior shots where he finally falls off was performed by a stuntman.

The buses used in road shots were Eastern National Bristol KSW5Gs numbered 2359 (VNO857), 2367 (VNO862), 2371 (VNO866) and 2376 (WNO476).
