Can we take a minute to appreciate the time and effort that went into building that bus, it's a work of art.

I remember as a small child watching this. Years later I tried to find out more about it. With no internet and the public library was so far out of date, that I gave it up as something I imagined. Pure accident I found this clip and I knew immediately what it was. Thank you for posting this and I see why so many had forgotten about it. It was much more exciting through a Childs eye than a 53 year old man.

Fun fact: the prop bus is actually two vehicles linked together at the articulated section, each with their own driving cab. When it was moved to filming locations, the two sections would be driven separately, then linked together for the film shoot. There was an emergency lever to separate the two halves in case things got out of control. It was NOT an easy thing to drive!

Articulation with a rocket in the back, imagine the jack-knife.

Before KZfaq came along, I thought this bus was just a fever dream from my childhood.

When I watched this as a kid, I had no idea it was a comedy. Now, it all makes sense. Ha!

I remember seeing this back in the day . I think it was made for TV and everything about it was impressive.

I think The Tim Traveler needs to make a video about this strange transportation contraption.

“We’re breaking wind at 90!” 😂

Bahahaha! This takes me back! Went yo yhe movie theatre to see this as a kid with my parents. I remember the whole place cracking up when the driver yells "We're breaking wind at 90!" I turned to my dad and asked what that meant, he just said "He made a joke." Wasn't funny to me then. What a movie.

I was maybe 5-7 years old when I saw this in the theater. 20,000 leagues, Charlie and the chocolate factory, freaky friday... I had a great childhood.

Great little known comedy film, saw it with my Dad back in 76, and has only been on TV a couple of times since. Preceded all the Airplane films, but just as funny.

Man, this is my first time seeing this, and I was really hoping it was real until I saw the rocket engines.

Respect to Red Bull for having the foresight to sponsor such a crazy venture many decades before they even existed! 🏆🤔

Lol I actually watched this at the cinema when it premiered. Don't know if anyone else noticed but every piece of footage in this vlog is back to front😃

Absolutely freaking awesome, and ridiculous at the same time.

Love that bowling alley 😂

I remember watching the show when I was a kid. Over the years since I have thought, on occasion, that both the US and Australia interstate systems and road systems would have supported large 'bus trains', just as they support 'truck trains', but they never made an attempt that I know of.

An incredibly funny movie, totally underrated. Cheers for the video.

I remember watching this on HBO in the 70s when cable was brand new. I watched this over and over again. Hilarious.

When the bus left the hanger it just cleared the door but when it was outside the rear part of the bus grew a third story

I still remember when The Big Bus collided with Supertrain! Very spectacular footage for non CGI era!

Looks like something out of Thunderbirds!

I remember seeing this at a drive in theater about 48 years ago lol

Der Bus ist aus dem Film "Die haarsträubende Reise in einem verrückten Bus" (OT The Big Bus), ein Film von James Frawley aus 1976. Im Film war kein Neoplan Jumbcruiser, wobei dieser vieleicht, aufgrund des Konzeptes) ein wenig die Vorlage war. Angeblich soll es ein umgebaute LKW gewesen sein, der mit doppelachsigen Dolly und Anhänger "zusammengeschustert" wurde.

Loved this film when I was younger, that fight scene, "Watch it, hes got a broken candle".... "Watch it, he's got a broken milk carton"!!

Just a few years before "Airplane". As a 9-year old, I loved this movie. Really loved the piano lounge. "Six months to live"... IIRC. "You know what I really hate? I hate this piano player." "Thank you!"

This is an unstoppable bus!

This looks like a job for International Rescue! _Thunderbirds are _*_GO!_*

I never needed to watch something as much as this.

Mr GRU appreciates your vehicle as it has a proper exhaust

I remember watching this movie years ago I genuinely forgot it existed

47 years later, still badass :)

I drove a double decker Bus, this came to mind that dreadful day :D.

I remember saw the Trailer on TV in the 70's 😅

would love to see a modern remake of this!!!

Zuerst geht er kaum durch das Tor, dann ist er viel höher! At first he barely passes through the gate, then he is much higher!

I thought this was going to be a Matt's RV Review with the always charming, Andrea. I didn't know it was an old movie.

I `m from Germany and I loved this Movie. The biggest Movie mistake is in my eyes, that the bus in first scene came out of this Warehouse, just fits thru the huge Doors, in next scene bus is out, and the second part of this bus has suddenly this big Glass dome that it hasn´t at it´s drove out🙂 In my childhood I often built it with my Lego bricks and played Movie scenes.

This film needs more love.

I saw this in movie around 1975 as a kid

"We're breaking wind at 90!" ... 😂 been there and done that!

That was awesome Mr Awesome!!😮😊👍💯

Onion's High speed bus proposal be like

O veículo que vier atrás desse ônibus, vai se transformar em churrasco.

I always loved those big white lettered Goodyear's.

future needs this kind of beautiful bus

Unrelated to the movie but there was a TV show called Supertrain. It was a huge train on tracks that were maybe eight feet wide. Someone still has the model used for filming.

Cool video, thank you :)

Great video. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day.

I actually saw this at the theater when released. I loved it!

" Parker , Bring the bigger Rolls out will you ."

Destroying that AMAZING bus after shooting the movie was a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY! If ANY Hollywood prop ever deserved to be saved for posterity, THAT WAS IT!!

Wow the bus is so cool and this bus is futuristic 😮🎉❤😊

I remember the movie. I caught it when it came to TV a few years after release, was about 13 and could appreciate the humor and how it made fun of disaster movies.

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid!

its a solid bus.

Wish They put this on Netflix or Hulu

two International cab-over-engine trucks joined together at the articulated part to create the illusion of a single articulated unit.

I’ve just spotted John Forsythe driving that bus or someone because I’ve never watched a movie likes one here back in the 70’s because I was then a little boy still watching cartoons and playing with toys back then plus this bus was only made for this movie & today that vehicle could be on display at a local museum for motor vehicles somewhere in the country because this was one of the finest buses I’ve ever seen for this movie .

A rocket in the streets??? Its a jocke??? Ja ja the concept of voyage bus is great idea 💡

I just love how they casually eject a tire at high speeds on a road to replace it. I feel bad for the driver in the oncoming lane.

The amount of cocaine taken by exec's to approve this movie must have been legendary

I'm 52 and have never seen or heard of this until now!

I got to visit this bus on the Paramount studio lot. It was feeling pretty cool as a ten year old behind the driver's seat. The piano lounge upstairs wasn't to scale lol

When I saw it a while back, I couldn't help thinking there were definite hints of Neoplan to it

I remember watching this is the theater as a kid and had no clue it was made as a comedy 😂😂😂😂

Couple of years later, in 1979 N.B.C. TV. TRIED to make "SUPERTRAIN" about a Super wide guage at 20 'FEET!!, Atomic Streamliner that ran on its new Transcontinental track from New York City West to Los Angeles, as their new weekly series that would run against A.B.C. TV 📺 "LOVE BOAT 🚢 😍 !!" But "SUPERTRAIN" ran only for its 2 hour Premiere movie, and 8 Episodes that you can now see here on Y.T. And NBC STUDIOS spent over 5 Million dollars to build the special sets for the exterior of the train with only the Atomic locomotive, and only the 2 leading coaches. And they also had the Burbank live steam company called "RAILROAD SUPPLY CORPORATION", with president the late Chet Peterson and his staff members, build the 2 large scale ⚖ model. With the extra large outdoor model built using the familiar and popular 1:8 Scale for 1&1/2"=1', that is used by the live steam locomotive 🚂 modelers all over the world 🌎. And the smaller studio model for indoor shots built at 1:16th scale at 3/4"=1' that uses 3&1/2" guage track on elevated fenceposts, or trestles made of either wood, and steel, and concrete, (like the famous little 0-4-0t named "TICH" designed by Mr. L.B.S.C. from Great Britain 🇬🇧!!). HOWEVER, the "smaller" SUPERTRAIN" model ran on special tracks that are 15" in guage-width. Also the large 1:8 model track was 30" wide. But sadly the large model was wrecked when it derailed from a bridge. But the smaller model survived and was sold to a private collector but it is in storage but can't be seen. Also I want to build an H.O. scale model of "SUPERTRAIN" with a track that is especially built to the Arcitechtural scale of 1/8th" with U.S. Fractional Dimensions and the track will be 2&1/2" wide, and still use regular H.O. scale parts for details, and interior sets and passengers. But I had to wait until I found a house 🏠 with a very large basement to build this very unique "SUPERTRAIN "!! And please watch the Y.T. Special music videos with the 3 different opening music themes. O.K.!!!!! GOD BLESS THE U.S.A 🇺🇸 🙌 🙏 ❤ AND ALL OUR FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD 🌎!! BE BLESSED WITH WISDOM!! FAITH!! HOPE!! LOVE ❤ 💘 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 ❤!! GRACE!! MERCY!! PROSPERITY!! ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏 AND AMEN 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤ 😊!!!!! MON.5.16.22.A.D.!!-!

To be a real good tour bus. It should be two more section longer.

Guess nobody caught how the observation dome on the back of it suddenly appeared after it was towed out of the door, the bus itself just barely fit under it. I seen this when it premiered , I was 8 then.

How did I go almost 40 years without discovering this

Que divertida película, y aparecieron las banderas y ahí estaba la de panamá 🇵🇦😊

I think I saw this monster of a bus at the junk yard on Roscoe Blvd in Sun Valley California.

at the start i was like all that plus a rocket strapped to the back for 4 people? worth it!

Is this a rocketbus ?😅😅😅, cool...

When that American director watched too much Daimos.

Beautiful big bus

Man I have no idea how I got here or what I just watched, but I have so many questions.

It's like driving a train on the roads😅

Need travel vlog of the bus #bismania

I loved this movie as a kid.

I love the bomb bay doors.
