Modern carry-on

Follow on from Blackpool. A bit of silly nonsense but amusing.

A drop off

The original 'Murder on the Blackpool Express' was quite a pleasant surprise of a film in all honesty and this sadly however is a bit of a step down from the first. Keeping the 'core' of the cast and switching up location and plot crux it's refreshong whilst still parodying the basis where it came frome. A bit rushed and less fun to some extent than its predecessor there's still a fair amount of charm intact, obviously no blockbuster but for an "English low budgeter" it's a decent try

Corpse Comedy

If you like comedies and murder mysteries, this trilogy is definitely a combination worth watching. It contains all: hilarious over-the-top situations, misunderstood clues, silly characters, love triangles, several obvious suspects, and a surprise killer.

OK, the low budget is showing, and the number of passengers and crew was not convincing, but hey, they would have been in the way, anyway. The story did not really need them. If anything, the main stories were entertaining enough without too many distractions going on in the background.

Only pity that the life boat potential remained underutilised.

Trivia
The ferry used for the exterior shots was the King Seaways operated by DFDS between Newcastle and Amsterdam but with different livery added in post production.

Goofs
Someone has already mentioned the three stripe/four stripe epaulettes worn by the First Officer. Three is correct. In some scenes both are 3 and others, both are 4. But in the final scene, he manages to wear 3 on his right shoulder and four on his left.

Quotes
Justin: The main pump room is flooded, but I can swim across it and get to the pumps. Once I'm there, I'll start them up, and we should be okay. It's a bit of distance, but I think I can make it.
Terry: Can I say I'm loving your use of the word "I". You've not said "we" once, and I'm very grateful for it.
