Storyline
Brian and Charlie (B & C) work for a gangster. When the boss learns they want to "leave", he sets them up to be killed, after they help rob the local Triads of their drug dealing profits. B & C decide to steal the money for themselves, but when their escape doesn't go to plan, they have to seek refuge in a Nuns' teacher training school. Disguised as nuns, B & C have to avoid their boss, Triads, police and Brian's girlfriend. There's also the problem of them being men disguised as nuns in an all women institution. Written by
Rob Hartill

Quotes
Brian Hope:
I thought you were supposed to be eating fish on a Friday.
Charlie McManus:
No, you're way out of date. Vatican II said we don't have to do that anymore.
Brian Hope:
Who's "Vatican II"? The deputy pope?
Charlie McManus:
Ignoramus. You can't have a deputy pope. The pope's infallible; you can't be deputy-infallible!

Nuns on the Run has to be one of the funniest british movies ever made. From the very start it is genuinely funny. I have been a big fan of Eric Idle for years due to The Monty Python films,sketches etc and in Nuns on the Run is comic standard is definitely up to scratch. If you like a laugh or brit films, watch this.
