Factual error: At the start of the movie, the nuclear-powered articulated bus that is attempting a non-stop land run to Denver leaves New York City, but you can see the Rocky Mountains in the background.
The Big Bus (1976)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: James Frawley
Starring: Stockard Channing, Rene Auberjonois, John Beck, Joseph Bologna
Continuity mistake: When the bus is brought out of the hangar for its maiden trip, the top of the front of the bus just clears the top of the roof. When it parks outside, the rear section has a glass roof which wouldn't clear the roof without damaging either the bus or the hangar roof.
Kitty Baxter: Dan's a good man, and he's never eaten a whole person in his entire life.
Trivia: Stockard Channing almost drowned during the scene where the bus' kitchen is flooded by the soda machines.
