  • Blooper:
    • The bus that crashes into Stan's in the opening scene can be spotted waiting in the background before the crew need to film it.
    • When Luigi is about to dump Stan on the fried eggs, fried eggs are already visible on Stan's trousers.
  • Completely Different Title:
    • Germany: A Crazy Trip in the Madness Bus.
    • Greece: Crazy Holidays.
    • Russia: Festivities on Buses.
    • Turkey: Sex Bus.
  • Corpsing: Kate Williams is visibly trying not to laugh when Blakey rages at her after catching her with another man.
  • Creator's Favourite Episode: This was Anna Karen's favourite of the three On the Buses films as she had the best memories filming it.
  • The Danza: Sandra Bryant as Sandra.
  • Edited for Syndication: When shown on ITVX, the shot of Joyce's breasts falling out of her top is cut out.
  • Looping Lines: When the Butlers say goodbye to Blakey after he tells them the dance competition is off, they have all been dubbed over as none of their mouths move.
  • The Other Darrin: Adam Rhodes takes over the role of Little Arthur from Wayne Westhorpe.
  • Referenced by...: In the Only Fools and Horses episode "Go West Young Man", a waiter insults Del Boy's drink order by saying that Reg Varney drank the same thing in this film.
  • Stunt Double: The shot of Olive's bare bum in the pool didn't use Anna Karen's, but rather an arse double's.
  • Uncredited Role:
    • Annette Long as Betty.
    • We don't find out who played Mr. and Mrs. Hodges or Ethel.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Early drafts of the script didn't include the subplot about Blakey's broken toe.
    • A fourth On the Buses film, Fun on the Buses, was planned to follow this one, but was never made.
  • Written-In Infirmity: After Stephen Lewis hurt his foot, Blakey was given a broken big toe in the final draft to accommodate him.
  • You Look Familiar: Eunice Black plays a different role to the one she had played in On the Buses.
