Anecdotes:

The actor who plays the irate bus driver, Sándor Boros is a Hungarian stunt driver, and it is he who drives the bus during the crash scene. In the DVD featurette Crashing a Coach (2007) (V), director Christopher Smith goes into detail about how the crash scene was staged, and in it, he points out how the Hungarian stunt team were "less concerned with health and safety issues" than British stunt teams. Smith explains that for the crash scene, the stunt coordinator told Boros to drive at 35mph, but Boros felt this wouldn't produce a good enough scene, so he hit the stunt ramp at 50mph, producing a much more spectacular crash than Smith wanted. As it was a one-time only shot, this newly spectacular crash forced a hasty rewriting of the screenplay, as due to the severity of the crash, the characters now needed to be substantially more injured than was originally planned. Smith was also amazed that the only safety equipment Boros used during the scene was a seat belt and a motorcycle helmet. Indeed, during the stunt, Boros was knocked completely unconscious.

Brilliant!

Just a quick comment on this movie.....saw it today and it's brilliant! A lot of fun and a great mix of humour and horror... My mates and I were in fits of laughter in places and jumping in others, it's not often that this type of movie works. I have not had this much fun at the cinema in years! I didn't even get a numb bum, which at my local cinema happens quite frequently! My friend and I came out of the movie chatting away about how good it was for at least 45 minutes.... and then every now and then we would remember another really good line or funny/scary moment!

Superbly acted, directed to perfection.

I will be telling everyone I know to go and see this movie and as soon as its out on DVD it will be an instant purchase! Go and see it, its great!
