When Brian's and Charlie's car runs out of gas, we hear the engine stall and the starter engine being cranked, while we still see Brian holding the steering wheel with both hands.
Brian Hope as Flight Attendant - this is the character played by Eric Idle in the film.
One version, such as the Fox television version, has an alternate scene. When the chinese man comes up to the car to ask why they are being followed, the newspaper Brian holds up to cover himself has a naked woman on the cover.

I'm not Catholic, and to this day I have yet to actually see a nun. But that doesn't make this movie any less funny. Nuns aren't what make "Nuns on the Run" funny, anyway. This is the kind of movie where two guys (Idle and Coltrane) are only trying to get out of a job they hate (running jobs for a local gangster) and end up in a steadily escalating series of disasters that make things worse than before. It just so happens that they are dressed like nuns through most of it. Of course, I thought that the whole cross-dressing thing was funny as far back as when Benny Hill and Monty Python (Idle's old troupe) brought this facet of humor over to us Yanks, and it still works. Must be a British thing. The whole business with the gangsters, the Japanese and the poor innocent girl (Coduri) caught up in the middle of the mess helps the pot to boil to overflowing. There are plenty of verbal gems within ("'Five Wounds' for short!") and one or two bits of visual humor that still bring a smile to my face. I still chuckle when I think of how one of the sisters comes to suspect the new "sisters" aren't what they seem after going into the bathroom after one. Get the idea? Good. Director/writer Lynn has done better and worse but this is one to think of when it's a rainy day and you just want a good laugh that doesn't require TOO much thought. Eight stars for "Nuns on the Run" and remember: Jesus is small, green and split four ways.

Nuns on the Run is just plain fun. Two gangsters, - one Catholic and one non-catholic, wonderfully portrayed by Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle, both of whom who have a real flair for comedy, are tired of gang life and try to escape by hiding in a nunnery and passing themselves off as nuns. The result is hilarious. The tough guys are two bit actors, completely unconvincing in their roles, especially the ones who play the Asian gang, but the movie is loaded with laughs, and improves with each viewing, as one picks up more and more of the subtlies perhaps missed the first time around. It's pretty much slapstick in parts, but there are some wonderfully rich and uproariously funny bits, such as when one of the "sisters" (Robbie Coltrane) has to supervise the girls shower; the scene where the non-Catholic "nun" (Eric Idle) has to give a class in Catechism about which he knows absolutely nothing and really messes up, will have every Catholic viewer rolling in the aisles, as is the part where he sneaks into the Confessional and pretends to be a priest in order to hear his girlfriend's confession. Then, of course, there is Father Shamus, who has a bit of trouble keeping his hands to himself, and who tries his best to hit on one of the newly arrived "nuns." Except for the truly tacky and totally unconvincing "gang" members, the movie is a riot. I have watched it dozens of times and loved it every time. Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle as the "nuns" turn out truly memorable performances. If you want a movie that will tickle your funny bone and have you holding your sides with laughter, Nuns on the Run is it.
I don't remember why now that I got my copy, but it isn't too bad for what I'd guess was a low budget 80's British comedy, Idle & Coltrane can put that out without even trying too hard. Some of the longer reviews have already given enough of a description of the basic details, even mentioning the possibility of offending, or not, Catholics. I still remember Robbie Coltrane "crossing" himself, no doubt that riles some people but then so would the idea of a couple of, so obviously, men being able to pass themselves off as women. No extras I think Amazon says but I remember something about some, I'm sure they were "acting", retired nuns endorsing the movie. No one so far has mentioned the remarks Mother Superior made about the Convent keeping the briefcase full of cash I & C left behind in their hurry to escape, bet that offended some. Only one or two reviews mentioned the girl's shower scene in which Coltrane was watching over the girls, "too shy" to join them, he and Idle handled that well. Not sure what the point in the scene being in the movie was- PG-13 movie that I'm surprised didn't get an R for the amount of, non sexual, nudity. Not a great movie, it's been some time since I've watched my copy, but it has some humor to it. Not too sure who I'd recommend it to though.
It’s great entertainment.I saw this movie years ago when my children were small, I thought I would watch it again and see if I liked it as much as I did then. Yes I like to just as much.
This movie never loses it's timeless comedy style. Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle will always be two of my favorites just because of this movie. It's just so silly, yet the serious side of what they are involved in, is hardly skipped over. After one of their 'partners in crime', a poor hapless little fellow named Norm, is eliminated by their horrible mob-boss, Casey, basically to teach Charlie (Coltrane) and Brian (Idle) a very hard lesson, the two very unhappy criminals set out to 'go straight'! Obviously, after that, hilarity ensues! After they end up in the convent, dressed as nuns, (which wouldn't fool anyone, I'm sure), Brian yells at Charlie-'You call this, going straight?' Anyway, great film, lots of fun and the good guys come out OK in the end. The quality of the film is top-notch, brand new, as promised and I was very happy to finally have a perfect copy of this awesome film. Thank you for very good service and a perfect product. I am 100% satisfied.
Fun, nothing too great, nothing Monty Python either except a single idol play on God's existence, or rather, non... Very cute ingenue who'd later be Rose's Mom on DR WHO, so I heard... What works about NOTR is it stretches a bit past its simplicity of Billy Wilder Meets Tootsie by doing it's own thing in it's own way, without, it seems, too much worrying over if things will be drop-dead funny: the story, it moved along, that's all that matters to me.
Itsg basicly 2 english nutbars who rob money from mobster types and try hiding out in a religeous convent dressing as nuns. But their plan falls apart when 1 of the guys blows their cover leaving a toilet seat up. But in the long run they manage to get away while remaing in drag. It was bought for the girlfriend and she loves it and finds it quite amusing.
Sometimes you find a show that really brightens your life. This is how I felt when I first saw "Nuns on the Run. I have been searching for a copy, and now that I have found it I am laughing all over again. It is not only great comedy, but it has a lot of philosophical points as well. For instance "how would YOU explain the Trinity?
I used to own this on VHS tape and was sorely missing being able to see it again! This used copy came in perfect condition and was delivered early. I watched it through immediately to make sure there were no problems to report....very satisfied!

Euphemia and Inviolata
2 gangsters Brian and Charlie looking to go straight learn that their boss wants them dead so robs the Chinese Triads then double cross their boss and steal the money for themselves and hide out in a convent disguised as nuns till the heat dies down. Very silly British comedy and both Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane have done a lot better in the most unconvincing drag act you'll ever see in what should have been obvious disguises but this is still good fun with both keeping a straight face throughout.

Suspend disbelief! Just enjoy the story!
Formal reviews of this film always tend to give it rather a low rating, but basically it fulfils its purpose: it's a bit of light-hearted, comedic slapstick and it gives Robbie Coltrane (Charlie) and Eric Idle (Brian) a chance to dress up as nuns and deliver one of the best explanations of the Trinity you're likely to hear in any film! The soundtrack includes George Harrison's evocative song "Blow away", played as Brian and Faith get to know one another and fall in love.

In good condition
I was a bit apprehensive at first about buying a used DVD but it worked well and no blemishes. Less than a fiver is better than shelling out £17 for a new one!

Great film when this came out in 1990, still as good now.
This was a good comedy film when this came out originally, have not seen this for ages and is not available on Netflix so decided to buy a copy to watch. Although a bit dated its still as funny now.

Brian and Charlie 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 Brians's girlfriend. There's also the problem of them being men disguised as nuns in an all women institution.

Why do filmmakers so often insist that nuns are funny? I'll bet there are some psychological reasons buried around here somewhere.
Catholics who had unhappy experiences with nuns in school may be getting their revenge. Those who are not Catholic may be reacting to the universal tendency to think that other people's ceremonial costumes are hilarious. And a few people may be just plain frightened of nuns.
Making fun of them is their way of whistling in the dark.
If any of these psychological profiles fit, you may possibly find small moments of "Nuns on the Run" that are amusing. Your laughter may reveal more about you than about this particularly dreary film. I myself went to a Catholic school for eight years and had good experiences with a
