ON THE BUSES was the UK's top sitcom in the early 1970's,but this extraordinary fact is hard to believe 3 decades later.What's even more astonishing is despite this (1971) being the year of THE FRENCH CONNECTION,A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and GET CARTER,the film was the most successful at the UK box office this year.
The very thin plot is carried along further by Reg Varney and Bob Grant laughing at their own(mostly feeble) puns and double entendres,a leering,grotesquely stereotyped view of the young women in view,and a script that makes even the most sub-standard CARRY ON film seem like Shakespeare.
The TV show itself lasted until 1973,and two further film sequels followed,but the bawdy traditions of this first ON THE BUSES effort continued with even more excess with the CONFESSIONS series starring Robin Askwith;again the first of this series topped the UK box office in 1974.
As a Briton,I can assure the US we've all grown up and matured since those days!

Despite being actually filmed on the Amazon river and expensive CGI effects,ANACONDA is basically no more than 'B' picture adventure fodder,with dialogue,plotting and performances to match.The script is hopelessly hackneyed and wooden,and Jennifer Lopez gives the dullest performance,mainly because she has the dullest lines.I actually think J-Lo isn't a bad actress when given decent scripts to work with(U-TURN,OUT OF SIGHT),but her agent either generally picks mediocre/bad scripts,or she overrules and picks them herself! Most of her film career to date is composed of below-average scripts(or even beneath that!),and this is no exception.
The rest of the cast(Ice Cube,Jonathan Hyde)fare little better with the arrant stereotyped characters present,though at least Jon Voight keeps interest going with a richly hammy performance.His character is pure cardboard too,but his odd accent(a curious hybrid of Spanish,Czech,German and Godfather Brandoesque)is perversely fascinating.
Voight's overplaying may have been even been more enjoyable on the Jack Nicholson-Joker level had there been a trace of wit in the script;the fact that this is non-existent considerably mitigates against the film.The same year's MEN IN BLACK had similar 'B' picture credentials,but at least it had better production and CGI,witty lines,a genial Will Young,and genuinely frightening monsters(especially towards the end);the scaly one itself here is rather poorly composed,and it's sleight-of-mouth with Mr.Voight near the end is more (unintentionally)amusing than chilling.Apparently,Anacondas in real life are mostly rather shy and difficult to find in the Amazon,and have rarely had humans for their lunch.The one in this film seems to have a serial grudge against all humankind,and a severe bulimia condition!
If you want camp 'B' picture fun,check out PIRANHA(1978)instead.Now that was both FUNNY and FRIGHTENING.
