Bus Driver

This is the best B movie I have ever seen! It totally embraced its B-movie-ness with excessive fake blood, numerous slow-motion shots, the gratuitous sex scene, '70s-looking credits, and over-the-top acting (LOVE the gym teacher!). I feel like what Scream was to horror movies, Bus Driver is to action movies. These people know they're making something campy, and they go for it full-throttle. I found this movie quite enjoyable and entertaining. It felt good to laugh and escape for 75 minutes!

Scrappy, super low budget action film about a bus full of high school juvenile delinquent types on a field trip. When their bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they stop off at the closest farm, which ends up being a drug operation. The rest of the movie is a siege film of sorts, with the kids, their idiot gym teacher, and the heroic titular bus driver (you know, like the cook in "Under Siege") saving everyone from the drug dealers try to kill everyone in order to protect their operation. The main reason I watched this film was that Robert Forster was in it, but I again fell for the B-picture bait-and-switch and Forster was hardly in the film. Still, for a super low budget picture, director Brian Herzlinger brought a level of energy that reminded me of "El Mariachi," though this film is certainly no "El Mariachi." Still, it's better than most of it's micro budget ilk.

I really enjoyed this. It's got a bit of everything, and is as entertaining as!! It has characters that are all misfits, a hilarious gym teacher, a tough guy, sex addict, meth addict, and a bit of "Steven Segal" (as the movie referenced at one point.) and a bunch of bad guys. I think the story and details were well thought out, especially knowing how some movies go. And unlike a lot of "B-Action", (I hope it's OK to call it that), this movie didn't have too many laughably unbelievable moments.

This HAVE to be a B-film.... BUT! It's got a good story, in fact great actors (coming up in a couple of years!) and I really liked it! OK -time passing but still quite good. A little too much blood and guts. But still great in it's genre. Got some time to pass? GO FOR IT! The director is using flashbacks i B&W and they are in fact great! I'm just wondering about one thing: If an ordinary human was beaten/shot/wounded that many times - would he still be alive? ;) The "hero" is in fact an "antihero" but I'm just waiting to see him i an A-film! This can be great! :)

AND: Keep an eye on these actors in the future! :)

This is abysmal, so much potential, and completely wasted, if your into 'B' movies of the worst kind this is for you, the entire plot has been sacrificed to something unintelligible to those over 14 years old, avoid this and watch paint dry, it's much more exciting.

The director of this movie is yet to learn how to grab an audience to what he/she wants to impart to you, the viewer.

the leading character is a loud mouthed small guy trying to be a big guy and failing miserably...kids on a school bus ?..if their in their late twenties that's a stretch...and casting Robert Forster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Forster a much respected actor as the hero ??..sorry, that just didn't work for me.

This is Hollywood at it's worst, avoid this unless your getting it for nothing..
