Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle in Nuns on the Run (1990)

Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane team up for this bad boy comic burlesque directed by Jonathan Lynn.
Idle and Coltrane play Brian Hope and Charlie McManus, a pair of two-bit hoods who want to go straight, repulsed by the increasing reliance on guns and violence in their line of work. In thrall to vicious gangster Case Casey (Robert Patterson), the duo determines that their next job will be their last.
When a large amount of money is extracted from a gang of Hong Kong drug dealers and it falls into the laps of Brian and Charlie, the two take off with the loot, with the Chinese Triads, Casey and the police in relentless pursuit.
But after their car inevitably runs out of fuel in front of a convent, Brian and Charlie act quickly to disguise themselves as two of the ugliest nuns imaginable. Passing themselves as nuns from a different order awaiting a missionary assignment, the two 'men' enjoy their undercover work amongst the youthful co-eds studying at the school. Meanwhile their pursers begin to close in on their trail in this uproarious and farcical comedy.

Unbelievably Hilarious!

This has got to be one of the most funniest films I have ever seen. All right, the plot is a bit over the top but it is just so funny! Robbie Coltrane and Eric Idle perfectly fit the bill of bungling villains and they spark off each other from the start. In my mind, these two are probably the best double act in a film for a long while. Camille Coduri is great and Lila Kaye is absolutely hilarious as Sister Mary of the Annunciation. A definite must see!
