Night Train to Murder

Video Review from 2007

In attempt to lure Eric and Ern to Thames, they were promised a film as part of the deal - this was it..

Made in 1983, this film was not released until after Eric's death. Eric himself was so disappointed with it that he tried to stop it being shown.

Filmed on video tape (so don't expect to find a good quality copy, even on DVD) it suffered from too many things to make it watchable.

Made when this kind of parody was already rife, the competition was much better. The script didn't quite work despite Eric and Ern having a hand in it. The direction is terrible, almost comical in parts and the gags just don't hit home.
