Mutiny on the Buses 1972

Almost better than the first film, if not for that messy ending. Still good.

'Mutiny on the Buses' is the second of three spin-off films from the 'On the Buses' television series. I think I've watched bits of this one before, certainly the safari parts, but not in full as far as I'm aware.

Reg Varney, Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis are as good as they are in the original film, with Lewis again my personal standout. The sexism, which is prevalent in the 1971 film, is toned-down here, though there are still occurrences - as you'd expect. Any 'Laugh-O-Meter' would remain at the same level, nothing close to a full-on laugh but there are amusing moments.

I found the plot, whilst still silly, an improvement on its predecessor. However, the ending feels too randomly stuck together in order to fill the run time; despite it still giving stuff to make for decent viewing.
