chrisleary186 I have watched this film so many times in the last 28 years and it is so memorable as each scene that is shot was so brilliant that it makes the film so amazing as a whole. From the first attempted stick up till the last ride through Edinburgh with Big Country blaring. What more could you ask. I have been going to all the places that they filmed and it was an Honor to have my picture taken where Ronnie and Will stood and went on their bike. I recently found Joe Mullaney who works for a role play company as I always wondered what he looks like now. I really hope this film makes a comeback at some point as it really is an iconic film and it would be great to see Ronnie and Will back on the big screen.

keithlivingstone If you look at my rating which is 10 out of 10 you would think that i have said it all,,,,this is a film that was basically lost and extremely hard to find until its recent DVD release.. If you are looking for a great film with amazing scenery (a lot of which was filmed in glen Nevis in fort William),plenty of funny moments and a real feel good factor then this is it.. The story begins with two Scottish lads who are fed up with having no money so decide on robbing Scotland's thriving industry which is tourist coaches and threaten to jeopardise the industry by very nervous tourists who wonder is it safe to travel by bus anymore...However the boys become local hero's with the tourists..there's plenty more story than that but that's just a taster for you if you are thinking about watching this movie..it's a one off as there is no movie like it, i love this film its a love story, a comedy and a touching film that will make you laugh again and again,,,,OK it's old and it's out of date compared to the recent blockbusters but very few films nowadays have a good storyline and hope that the special effects will see them through,,,,No special effects in this film but plenty of special moments.......(look out for a young Vincent Friell in the role of Will who has more recently been in still game and trainspotting and has seen success in theatres) Hope this helps and Enjoy the film which is now out on DVD ......

davemain I saw this film years ago, taped it from TV and watched it over and over. I wait patiently for some distributer to produce 'Restless Natives' on DVD so that it can, once more, be a part of my collection.Onto the film: it is rare that you see a Scottish film that is entertaining, doesn't have actors forcing their accents and actually makes you think "being Scottish isn't so bad" - this film actually fits the bill.It takes the old "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" formula, transplants it into Scotland, and provides non stop entertainment - you may even be inspired to wear a clown mask and rob tourist buses whilst becoming Scotlands greatest tourist attraction too; it can be that inspiring.Other reviews state that this film has a weak ending, however I feel that there was nowhere else for the film to go; this statement in itself doesn't make too much sense until you have seen the film though.All in all, an enjoyable film that will bring a smile to most faces and perhaps even relight the fire of Scottish patriotism. You may even enjoy the "Big Country" soundtrack.

nastysark This is the kind of film that always cracks a smile on your dial. It's cute without being irritating, it's stupid without being offensive - it's all you want in an old fashioned comedy. And the accents are like honey lozengers; infact this is the very film you should watch if you are ill, or recovering from a hangover wrapped in a blanket infront of the TV. And the soundtrack by Big Country is an absolute hoot! What a film!!
