    Great cast but...

    Great cast but no relation to the Tyne and apart from Jason Cook making very little appearance, no geordie actors are actually in this film
    thomasjay-2201

    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

    Very Funny!

    Reminds me of the "Carry On" movies...pretty good, gentle humor. And my niece (Tracy) was awesome in it, too!

    Why the hate?

    If you saw murder on the Blackpool express- you knew what to expect. It was silly, daft, mad fun in the way of a carry-on film. Terrific cast too- and I had a laugh. It was very much as I expected. As a veteran of North Shields ferries to Holland- the hen-night could have been rowdier. ;)

    Great fun

    I can't imagine this set out to be a great work of art but I found it really enjoyable. What's more, the cast seemed to be having a good time. If they do a third in the series I will be sure to watch.

    • 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.
