we're on a mission from god wendy so i got that going darling looks like i picked the wrong way to quit sniffing blue light of my life we enjoy your films i thought they smelled bad on the outside [Music] welcome to vintage video where we're re-watching the 80s so you don't have to we'll be reviewing every major film release of the 1980s in real time i'm patrick o'reilly i'm jesse bayless and i'm richard wells and today marks the 40th anniversary of the release of when time ran out on march 28 1980. it was written by carl forman and sterling siliphant based on the novel the day the world ended by gordon thomas and max morgan wits directed by james goldstone produced by erwin allen and released by warner brothers the book that the film was adapted from the day the world ended was a factual retelling of an eruption of mount pele and martinique in 1902 resulting in the deaths of 30 000 people none by lava it's brought up in the film to put this original and fictional event into perspective but the entire book was about that thing that happened in martinique in 1902 and they bought the rights to it and then made this movie about something happening in the present they likely changed the title because it had already been used by a roger corman movie in 1955 which they changed the title from the day of the world the day the world ended too when time ran out i don't i don't feel like you're saying it right you gotta be able to like hear the ellipses at the end of that when time ran out [Laughter] dot dot dot oh i literally have to say that that makes more sense after high profile failures of the swarm and beyond the poseidon adventure warner brothers only agreed to greenlight the film on the condition that irwin allen would not direct erwin allen famous for producing and kind of perfected disaster movies in the 1970s you had the poseidon adventure towering inferno he was a producer on both and directed some action sequences he's i don't think he's the credit director on either of them but uh their rule was that he couldn't be behind the camera on the set of this movie and then they forced all the actors to appear yeah basically all these people were contracted to be in a sequel to towering inferno and they couldn't get it off the ground and steve mcqueen wouldn't come back for it he said he didn't want to do a sequel to towering inferno and honestly i think he was the weakest part of towering inferno anyway yeah he barely performs at all he's mostly just the fireman who's just like oh another fireman died anyway let's get up on the oh no that's dead now okay let's go this way then but uh he he didn't uh he didn't want to do it and everyone else was locked into their contract so they had to do this movie it bombed also as the era of epic disaster films was falling pretty far out of fashion by this point irwin allen's two most successful installments both got best picture nominations one for there was a golden globe and an oscar i think uh poseidon adventure got the golden globe best picture nomination and towering inferno got the oscar nomination neither one um i don't think that either really deserve the best picture nomination even um but uh when time ran out i also got an oscar nomination did it yes for oh for costume for costumes what they were just wearing their clothes it was a slow costume here yeah i guess a lot of naked people in movies that year uh alan is also credited as the inventor of the erwin allen rock and roll the effect where the camera is shaken left to right and the cast is directed to lean back and forth to indicate an impact being felt nice he invented that wow isn't that crazy you used on uh star trek tng quite a bit right which if you ever see the stabilized videos yes it looks ridiculous um it was first used on the sets of lost in space and voyage to the bottom of the sea both of which were created by alan i would like to do an allen retrospective when we hit the quit our day jobs level of the patreon goal because i would love to just sit around watching dumb disaster movies unfortunately we won't get to review many of them uh as this was basically the final nail in the coffin of this whole genre until like the mid-90s i guess when yeah yeah it kind of came back you got two volcanoes in like two years right or one year we're only speaking volcano two different years maybe they were the same year because i think it was like uh how you had armageddon and deep impact within a couple months yeah i just rewatched volcano in preparation for this and uh the visual effects are worse than i remembered yeah they were both 1997. yeah it's funny the story was actually better than i remember but the visual effects were worse that's not how i expected this to go borgnine was pretty vocal about the cheapness of the effects of this movie he basically said that the problem was obviously you're paying all these huge names and they shot the whole thing on location in hawaii yeah so that made it extremely expensive because you're having to house all these people in hawaii and transport them to and from yeah like all these places yeah it's basically like the way adam sandler does movies now yeah just like i want to go on a vacation send me on a vacation and just shoot a movie around me while i'm there holden was hospitalized william holden was hospitalized during the making the film for six days due to his alcoholism oh i really wanted you to tell me like an actual fireball hit a real volcano swallowed him what are the odds but it spit them out in an interview with larry king paul newman referred to the volcano movie as the only one he did purely for the money money that he later parlayed into newman's own homemade salad dressing a company he founded entirely with his paycheck from this film that's amazing that's wonderful and fascinating so uh i only recently for the first time watched a paul newman movie so so was it one time went out no no no yes that was this week i watched my first pullman no no but like maybe about six months ago i was like you know i've never seen any paul newman movies i should watch a few and so um uh oh right cat on a hunting room yeah i watched cat on hudson roof and i also watched oh shoot what was the other one that i watched butch cassidy and sundance kid or yes oh you watched cool hand luke cool and luke yes yes cool well i watched all of those with probably within the last like six months and uh you know so i'm like i really i really enjoy paul newman i like it i i get it now like in cars he's in cars yeah yeah he's hud oh and the hutt sucker proxy speaking of hud oh okay i guess maybe he's also in the movie hud he's literally the character of hud in the movie hud well i guess i didn't realize when he was doing those roles i didn't realize who he was uh so now now i started familiarizing myself with his his back catalog of movies here and you should check out ombre i don't i don't understand the salad dressing thing like it seems really weird it's very left field yeah because i didn't understand what kind of character he played in all these movies and then it's just like now he dresses up in silly costumes on salad dressing this is odd all makes sense um he founded the company with ae hochner in 82 and it's still in operation it gives 100 of its after tax profits to charity which to date is about 500 million dollars um what is ombre ombre is a film paul newman based on an elmore leonard book oh cool that's probably good then um despite bombing pretty hard this movie still snagged that oscar nom which it lost to roman polanski's tess an adaptation of tests of the derbyvilles so at least it didn't win but it was nominated which for which which oscar the the costume design we were talking about before okay but um yeah or the other you mean the street clothes the street clothes movie lost to the uh the period yeah i feel like every movie we've talked about so far has had better costumes than this might be sorry what were you oh i was wondering what what were the other uh the other nominees yeah is that anything else we've touched on probably coal miners don't know somewhere in time we watch uh my brilliant career because it got nominated yeah my brother my brilliant career was on there oh for costumes yeah okay good pull yes thank you and the elephant man oh elephant man should have won what one tess test one yeah that's i don't know i haven't seen it we will watch it later this year it's december that's a ways off so the movie starts with uh bob spangler whose name brings to mind egon spangler of the ghostbusters uh no relation they spell and pronounce their name differently uh he's wearing this it looks like a radioactive like protective suit yeah it's a heat suit yeah it's a heat suit um and he's walking over like a surface of basically a dormant volcano some volcanic surface yeah it's not like literally inside the volcano but nearby where there's yeah and we shouldn't i should we would say we shouldn't call it a dormant volcano because it is not yeah it's literally smoking for the whole beginning of the movie it is it is an active volcano that just has not erupted right it they said it erupts like once every 500 years basically like twice in the last millennium as he's walking over the this uh plane that's just kind of steaming a jet flies overhead um and he looks up and sees it uh we cut inside the jet too no this is so weird like he looks up and it's like we're inside the jet all of us yeah you can see what's happening it's like an old spice commercial now you're in the jet mr gilmore is commending his secretary on a slogan she developed for an ad campaign shelby gilmore played here by william holden is basically partnering with a local hotel he's lending his name he's like the hilton essentially and uh they're trying to get people to come to this hawaiian hotel and uh she wrote a slogan something about like come and watch the volcano slumber toss and turn in her sleep yeah yeah and uh he's like oh that's really great will you marry me like it seems almost out of nowhere yeah but he proposes to her and uh she turns him down as politely as she can but then kind of mocks him afterwards and she says what would i be like the fifth or the sixth uh wife at this point but he says the last the last one but he he knows that she's interested in someone else and he says he's not the marrying kind and she says well we can't say that about you can we we we cut back to spangler taking off his heatsuit in the seismology lab that's built like literally on the rim of the volcano oh yeah it's so nuts yeah he asks for that day's readings and uh he calls brian the manager of the hotel to uh prep for gilmore he says oh i saw his jet coming in i know he's not supposed to be here yet but he's here so roll out the red carpet and get ready on the red carpet jolani another hotel employee greets jacqueline bessette who is playing the secretary character uh k k kirby k kirby and uh william holden as shelby gilmore who are arriving ahead of schedule k says oh you guys are getting married soon right to yolani who says oh well the the wedding we're pushing it back a little bit we don't want to draw attention away from the partnership and all the announcements of the hotel so we're we're going to do something smaller we don't want to take any attention away from what's going on um i keep getting confused every time i look back to imdb and seeing who plays brian yeah eddie albert oh no edward albert but uh brian the hotel manager is engaged to this woman yolani who works at the hotel and william holden as shelby pulls him aside afterwards and says is something going on or did this get broken up and he's like oh no don't worry about it it's just we didn't want to draw attention but it seems like brian wasn't actually a part of this plan to like put off the wedding and didn't know about it until she said that we cut to an oil well that's being dug pretty near the volcano site right not as near as where the seismology lab was built but hank anderson played by paul newman uh has struck oil i i love i was like watching the scene where he's he's got like a clipboard and he's like like checking gauges and there's one really big gauge and it's like going up in pressure and there's like a red section on the gate like red lines areas and he's just watching it go up higher or higher it keeps cutting him like like looking at the paper looking at the gauge and then it starts to get to the red line i was like okay you're going to say tell people to stop it's like nope nope it goes past the red line things started exploding he goes good how are you i was like look at it it was like why didn't you warn them yeah what's going on just going that direction really quickly when time ran out that's also the plot of hud i believe he's he was uh uh punching uh a bunch of drills in to get oil i remember oil being a big part of that movie i haven't seen in a long time but yeah the pressure that he's seeing in this reading is unexpectedly high for where they they are punching these holes and he said that he smelled sulfur when it happened which is a sign that they might be punching into like a tube from under this volcano which is not good back in the lab webster is worried about the pressure that he's seeing bob says oh it's only erupted twice in the last thousand years like stop being a worrywart we're gonna get this hotel partnership done and everything's gonna be fine um at the hotel mr and mrs valdez arrive they are a retired high wire act yeah by millions yeah i thought this was very unusual choice for their characters yeah until later it's super convenient yeah i forgot about that but also odd that they're both named valdez and i and i don't like they just don't say that it's burgess meredith yeah that is a weird choice because because i mean bear just meredith obviously it's american like obviously people from spain are caucasian but but she's italian and that's definitely not in it you know italian i don't know it's like this like the name valdez like it really it was an interesting choice i just think of valdez is coming the title of the movie i just think of the the guy with a with a donkey in your kitchen when you're not looking um but they they're very excited because shelby gilmore recognizes them and they describe him as the man with the name on the marquee right because they're using their vaudevillian terms and he's trying to downplay to be humble and he's like and the towels like it's not just the building like you know i i also paid for the towels but gilmore invites his goddaughter nikki to dinner which i wasn't sure what was happening until later they don't really uh they're not very upfront with the relationships between these characters so he just sort of leans over an edge and he's like hey nikki what are you doing later oh well we should have dinner and she's like of course i wouldn't miss it or whatever but they don't explain that these are the the relationship between these two characters until much later yeah nikki oh sorry oh i'm gonna say like they nikki uh is uh tells this horrifying story about a centipede a foot long centipede that stung kala and came out of the volcano right i was like what yeah and i think bike came out of the volcano they mean came out of the ground near the volcano like yeah things are getting hot enough that these enormous insects are being ejected from their normal living spaces well that kind doesn't come out very often usually stay pretty deep anderson rushes to bob's office to announce that they've struck oil but that there's dangerous pressure underground he lands on the world's smallest helipad yes that's very tight landing it's like it's like the barely the size like you have to kind of like sidestep to get in the helicopter this is pre-twilight zone and they're doing a lot of risky dumb stuff in the helicopters in this movie oh my goodness so many crazy helicopters bob tells him that the lab ratings back at this this laboratory they have on the edge of the volcano are totally safe he's like i don't know what you're talking about you're saying it's super high pressure but that's not what we're getting at the lab so i don't think you need to worry about it and he's like okay well you know i would like to see those numbers that you're talking about he said okay great we'll be there tomorrow morning but in the meantime you know we struck oil that's great like we should drink a bunch of champagne i have a whole case of it like why aren't we celebrating but gilmore comes in and he says that he overheard them talking about the the pressure problems but bob says it's nothing to worry about don't worry about it forget it everything's great hotel's wonderful this whole scene my note here for is this whole scene is so awkward yeah because like k kirby obviously is like making eyes at paul newman right and people are acknowledging that paul newman is just like cold as ice yeah to her well being in the room and then he finally leaves and it's like oh good we can have a conversation at a normal pace now because it's just really awkward she's like oh hi and he's like hello good to see you again and everyone just stares at each other for a while it's like all right anyway but this is the the indication we're getting that this is the not the marrying kind that they were talking about before the one that got away so to speak he leaves but she follows him out and she says that she kind of deserved that but that she would like to see him she's very persistent yeah she says that she misses him but he explains that that's not really enough because you're seeing mr gilmore so it's great that you miss me and all but uh this is still technically a love triangle unless you're officially leaving this other person who just proposed to you gilmore tells bob uh the man who's staying and running the hotel that he knows what it's like having a famous dad and then it can be really hard and that basically after your your famous dad dies that all the triumphs are empty because you're trying to prove it to a ghost and bob disagrees vehemently he's just like oh no it's it's great everything i do is is wonderful and i i don't pull your money out of the hotel we get a quick shot of francis fendley playing tennis at some tennis courts on the hotel grounds and he's being watched by detective conte played by ernest borknein francis is being played by red buttons yeah he gets really mad that this detective has just been watching him because apparently he's been watching him for a while and he leaves the tennis court and walks up to him and says i've noticed you and i know what you're doing and you could just stop following me around it's just getting annoying why don't you uh like me following you do i stink or something and he said well i'm gonna follow you for five years until i'm completely retired why don't you be a good guy and give all those bonds back huh like he's just like i know what you did and you can return the money if you want me to leave you alone but essentially uh fendly is a criminal and uh this guy's gonna waste his all the time that he has until retirement i don't know how he like is he getting a stipend is he getting money from the new york police department to just hang out at a resort in hawaii right yes i would do that too until i retired in fact i would be like don't turn in the box i'll just chill here until we're uh i can retire yeah exactly please don't give them back and i mean if it depends on how much money they are if it's worth it to the department but yeah hank takes the chopper back to the crater renee the the wife of burgess meredith or no renee is bernie's character uh renee is giving rose her medicine she seems to be suffering from possibly cancer or they don't say specifically do they they say that she has a tired heart later but the the the thing she's wearing on her head it kind of kind of implies that she's in chemotherapy or something but he's giving her all of her pills and she's joking like oh i don't know how they know where to go in my body when i take them and he kind of laughs about it and uh they share a toast to many more adventures bob goes to meet with jolani in the woods and this is our first indication that oh he uh is actually do we do we know that he's with nikki yet um i don't think so but we do know that she's with brian right so that that's like obviously yeah by the way there's there's at least one a second love triangle happening so far so if you're following there's the two love triangles we know about are gilmore anderson kirby and kirby is one triangle and then the other love triangle is this this employee of the hotel her fiance who is managing the hotel and the guy who actually owns the whole place yeah is is the second love triangle there will be a third yes uh because it's not made clear yet because that's the key there's a love square yeah the love square uh it would be perfect if nicki ended up with brian um everyone would have been happy yeah everyone would have been great uh not bitter at all about their stitch no that always works fine the consolation prize but he goes to meet with her he gives her a protective necklace that he was given as a child by like the high priest of some local tribe here on this hawaiian island yeah he's he says that he's giving it to her so that it will protect her it doesn't work too much spoiler alert it just seems like the whole point of that scene would be to like oh no he gave her his protective necklace now he's going to die and she's going to be protected because this is a disaster movie it doesn't make sense for them to die at the same time in the same scene if that happens you'll have to stay tuned to find out bob webster and hank get into a volcano pod oh my god to go look at lava just just observe it yeah first it's not it's not a volcano pod it is a wonkavator they basically get into the wonkavader to go into a volcano right and and they have to all go down together right they can't say they can't just camera they can't just send a thermometer down to tell them the rating that they're getting from this whole walkavator so they're going down i wrote on my notes glass floor no thank you that's why you have to see it so you can see the volcano that you're descending into but as they're getting lowered into it they're they're recognizing more activity than anticipated it's bubbling a lot and suddenly a blast causes a malfunction in their descent and they can't pull the thing back up and it's starting to go down faster and faster and further and further than it was supposed to i i really liked the um the the depth gauge readout yeah where it was like really more elaborate than it needed to be because it had just like the hundreds places but then a whole other number yeah and so you have to read like three separate lines of numbers in order to know is i'm at 300 tens and then a five okay so 315. yeah it was just have it be one set of numbers yeah it doesn't really make a lot of sense um i did i wrote i wrote the f word in all caps here because when that guy falls through the glass yeah i went oh i actually freaked out for the moment yes i thought oh here it is this is the first one but yeah a second blast from the volcano shatters this i'm assuming tempered like super tempered glass that i have at the bottom of this thing but webster basically drops through and they barely catch his arms someone back up in the station is able to pull put like a manual pulley in place so that he can actually start winding the thing back up yeah this is tiny yeah three full-grown men in this thing and he is manually cranking them out of a volcano well i'm sure it's like his efforts are being multiplied by a pulley system but still but also this is alex karis yeah so he's supposed to be super strong but he he pulls these guys up to a point where the machine is actually back in working order and can lift them out i don't know why that needed to happen but the whole time uh webster is hanging out of this thing but they eventually get him pulled back in they do not drop him into this volcano already that would kick things into high gear even faster than it already does instead of doing this before they get in the pod now hank decides all right i'm going to go look at the computer ratings and see if you were lying to me about whether there was activity um and he sees it and he's like this thing's a goddamn powder kick i'm gonna shut down the well like we gotta get out of here and bob says damn it man we have a contract i don't think the contract says i have to murder myself and all my employees yeah i think i'd rather be in violation of that contract than dead but uh he goes back to the well and he tells all the guys hey so this is super dangerous and we all need to cut out and go home so pack up your things and we're leaving and they all say well what does bob say and he says well bob said it's safe but bob's an idiot and they're like well i got two kids i'm trying to put through college you know i need this money and he said i think they ought to be chasing you guys with a bunch of butterfly nets because you're all crazy but he agrees to stay he doesn't agree to stay he says if you guys if if the money means that much to you go ahead but i'm leaving basically he's he's not going to stay and be a part of this operation anymore i really i felt the opposite i felt like the because it's his well so right but he gets in his truck and drives away no i know he he doesn't he goes into the the his crew cabin work k kirby's waiting for him oh okay i guess yeah i don't know i got the impression that he was quitting but that these guys weren't going to quit uh either way uh i i agree with patrick on this one but uh you know i think it could be open to interpretation either way if he's as terrified as he's pretending to be about the pressure buildup he shouldn't have let the guys stick around it's like i don't care if you have two kids because none of us are going to survive to our next payday so let's go let's go home yeah because in his trailer kay's waiting for him and they go on a picnic yeah so he's not in a rush to leave that's true yeah yeah but this is the man with the helicopter where are you gonna fly it to that's the whole point he makes that point later anywhere in the world uh tiny and kelly go to monas with a chicken heard that right tiny and kelly go to monas with a chicken they uh enter mona's which is like a bar in like the downtown area and also possibly a brothel yes they have a chicken in a cage and she says oh that that's great or is this a for another fight and they said yeah i get sam out here and she what does she she has like a whistle yeah she blows a whistle to signal sam that he's his attention is needed out on the main floor right but he's not listening to the whistle so she blows into it twice and then he comes out with like a pipe like he's ready or a bat like he's going to beat somebody up and he's like twice means there's a fight going on that i'm supposed to break up and she's like well there is going to be a fight going on because these gentlemen brought a chicken and they want to have a fight with you and he bets them a significant amount of money like ten thousand dollars a thousand and sam here is being played by pat morita yeah um oscar winner pat marina pretty sure he won for karate kid at the very least he was nominated nobody cried a kid supporting oh so he didn't win well that's a shame but yeah so he he agrees to this fight and they're they're gonna have this chicken face off against another chicken and and mona and sam seem seem to think it's a sure thing that they are going to win right and take this guy for their money like sam even says like yeah we're gonna we'll have this fight and then for ten thousand dollars i'll take all your money and also when my chicken kills your chicken i get his feathers for like whatever project i want like i can just have the remains of your chicken when we're done and he's like yeah that sounds like a deal because he just wants money and he thinks that he has a decent chance at it conte the detective corners friendly again as he's jogging around the grounds of the hotel and he says i'm i'm going to keep following you even though he's like winded he's been running around and he's drenched in sweat and yeah and finally is wearing like this trump suit yeah this tracksuit he's running around and he's doing fine which is funny because i uh i was watching uh poseidon adventure and he's red buttons is wearing like a tracksuit running laps around the ship and i wondered if this was like a reference to that because just because he has a really funny run yeah yeah but uh borgnet is just getting exhausted he's like i'm gonna keep chasing you and then every time he's looking away he's like huffing and puffing like i can't keep chasing this guy because again borgnine also in poseidon adventure right yeah buttons um and he played a detective again in in poseidon adventure i'm pretty sure he was at least a police officer he was definitely a cop because he's talking to his wife who's like a former prostitute yeah he arrested her multiple times well i had to figure out some way to keep you off the streets until you'd marry me gilmore says that he he talked to webster and uh he lied that it was a cable issue basically um he was like i i heard something happen to the volcano and i talked to webster and he he said it was just an issue with a cable that just came loose when you guys were trying to check out the volcano and bob's like that's exactly what happened yes oh yeah that's lovely they uh he doesn't believe what webster told him and bob says well we could call him right now like you're just trying to bluff him and he picks up the phone and he calls webster and then he's like hey what sir how are those readings looking and he's like oh it's terrible every we're all going to die horrendous down here we're dying we're backfired we're dying we've got to evacuate right now yeah and then it sounds oh that you know what i i think uh shelby would like to hear you say how great things are going uh to his face i'd like mr gilmore to hear that for himself uh why don't you do that right now and he hands him the phone and shelby says i told you i i trust my partners to a point then he hangs up the phone so he successfully left him here kay says that gilmore gave her a dossier of all of the people that hank anderson has ever slept with because he was like you you need to stop pursuing this person you need to marry me don't marry him look here's a list of everyone he's ever had sex with uh he just uses women he's a waste of your time and she's like i could recite every woman that you've slept with in alphabetical order okay go ahead and start like he's interested to hear how how thorough this dossier is but he's already pointing out flaws in it she's like i know every woman you've had sex with since you lost your virginity when you were 16 and he's like well when i was 14 like he's thinking of things from before her history but they're they're trying to sit down and have a picnic here and he can't get the cork out of the wine and so she leans over and she's like push it in that's very double entendre e um uh but i i like what he says it's like i hope this is a good year for corks yeah and then they suddenly they start making out when the volcano erupts yeah it was a kiss uh yeah and the earthquake rocks the island it destroys the tarmac as planes are taking off that's cool shot yeah it's uh and i don't even remember if it's ever brought up yeah about the airport but i think it was just to visually show us they're not leaving this island yeah we can't use the airport to leave um the lab collapses into the volcano uh probably the worst looking model uh in this whole movie yeah but but also i just i just feel like you built this on the rim of a volcano what did you think was gonna happen and it's like most of it is hanging over the edge into the volcano already hank and kay jump into the helicopter as quick as they can and they fly to the ranch to pick up nikki the kids a few other people yeah um the the work on the ranch i guess and the ranch hands because they were they were going to check out the crater and we see it like we had a lot of like imposed stock footage of volcanoes erupting but they are seeing that the lava flow is heading right towards the ranch right so they pick everybody up there's not enough room in this helicopter so a couple dudes are having to ride on the outside of it which i think is kind of ridiculous like if if there's not enough room for everybody ins first of all there there probably is i mean this is like a yeah this is like a no room for jack on the doors on the you know the rose pushing him off into the water like yeah just sit on each other's laps if the helicopter can carry your weight just like you know jenga anchor yourself in there like figure out a way to to to tetris you all in and hanging off the sides like it's just stupid and i don't understand why they have to turn and fly over the lava yeah to get away like just stay over the grass well and the one guy had it right he had both arms kind of like threaded in right and they were holding on to him well the other way i was just like holding on with his pinkies like yeah i got this i've been drinking a lot of tea for practice um what i would have done is i would have taken off my belt and then looped my belt around a part of the helicopter that's just because you don't like pants but um but i feel like they would have like those guys hanging out for the outside like if you legit can't get in the air in the helicopter just run away get in the truck and just start driving yeah but instead they decide they're gonna hang on to the sides and anderson tells them hey the air is going to get real rough over the volcano it's like don't go over the volcano go away from the world around the erupting volcano i'm going to go over that thing but they do go over the volcano and the guys are like it's oh it's fine we're going to be okay and then one of them just loses his grip and falls off and he falls like horizontally toward the volcano yeah like at the only time that we fall sideways into lava but this is our first death by lava over the course of the movie which if you're the person who wrote the book about 30 000 people dying from a volcano and not one of them touching lava you're probably already frustrated yeah a tidal wave destroys this the town where mona's restaurant was yeah this really seems like the only thing that the tidal wave hits somehow it only hits this little town it doesn't hit the hotel it doesn't hit any other part of this island yeah uh it just takes out some of the other like superfluous characters but the other thing that's weird is that the the earthquake was on the island so the tidal wave should be going away from the island right now tidal waves work don't they go out from the volcano uh i mean or from the earthquake epicenter uh well the volcano is erupting but we don't know where the epicenter of the earthquake is okay i guess i mean i mean like you know the volcano is a thing but i would say that the ep center doesn't necessarily have to be inside the volcano true but i also agree it's it's out of nowhere and only comes from like one direction and it only hits like 12 buildings yeah and uh so i mean i think the implication is that everyone in town is dead yeah except for this one car full of people it's basically mona and sam and a couple women that they got out of the bar uh well a couple of their clientele yeah or their their uh their actual employees they just call them the girls yeah but the the wave is like chasing them through the hill roads to get back to the hotel it reminds me of a deep impact when they're like driving down the freeway and the tidal wave is just swallowing up all the cars stuck in traffic when they get back to the hotel shelby is basically to explain the danger of the situation he's telling everyone about that volcano and martinique that the film is based on which is the only time that that story appears in the actual film yeah and he says we need to get out of here because they already know about it on in neighboring islands and they're sending help that should be here tomorrow yeah paul newman says like they may cancel tomorrow like there might not be a tomorrow which is the only reference to the world ending that we get since the title changed well what if there is no tomorrow there wasn't one today the crowd gets very antsy and decides that they as a crowd of like 50 people are going to steal the helicopter because it's the only way off the island so they just pile all over this thing and fly it out over the ocean none of them knows how to fly a helicopter that that's the important thing because at first i was wondering well wait why is it oh they don't know how to fly yeah that one makes more sense but they all just pile into this helicopter swing it out over the ocean and people are falling off the side of it over the ocean like dropping like 30 40 feet into the ocean and then they swing back past the hotel and crash it into a cliff face and just kill all of those people that thought they were going to escape yeah this is when the volcano starts getting real vindictive and starts just throwing lava balls directly at the hotel yeah like there's this whole huge island and it throws like four lava balls and they all hit the hotel dead center one of them almost hits a balcony ernest borgnine shoves red buttons out of the way and takes the full force of this lava and catches on fire and is completely engulfed in flames and no one else but red buttons is even trying to help yeah well one other guy does but that's at bob's command he's like see what you can do here uh hank says we gotta move we saw that lava it's coming right for the hotel but bob is telling everyone no that the hotel's safe it has a solid foundation even though lava is hitting it from above yeah and lava is pouring over the hillsides directly in in the path of this thing uh and then he turns around and says because by now we've learned that hank's whole team was killed yeah everyone that was drilling has been killed by lava yeah sam and mona arrived with the girls yeah and sam tells them what happened and bob says well that's your fault because i told you to pull all those guys out and you're the reason they're still here so their blood is on your hands and it's like bob didn't tell him to pull those guys out he's lying in front of everyone but instead of correcting him hank just punches him so everyone thinks that hank is crazy and no one wants to listen to what hank has to save moving forward i think i think technically by not saying you're lying i told you we needed to leave and all my men are dead because of what you said he makes himself look crazier and he is partially responsible for any deaths that happen from people not trusting him here shelby tells nikki it's time to go and nikki being his goddaughter and i think this is the conversation where we find that out and she says well no my my husband said it's safe so we're going to stay here my husband being bob who is running this hotel and currently having an affair yeah having an affair that she doesn't know about but uh he says don't you understand the only reason that you're married to bob is because he wanted to get to me like he married my goddaughter so that i would partner with him on this hotel and she's super offended by that it's the typical like sitcom like oh well you're just jealous but uh so she says no i'm gonna stay here and he doesn't put up much of a fight no he says goodbye it's the same as the mistake that that hank makes earlier where he's just like all right guys you want to work on this thing you just keep working on it that's great and he leaves her they as they're leaving the hotel hank asks if there are any takers but at this point everyone just saw him punch out a guy who blamed him for murders um so they're all like no you seem crazy and all your people are dead and that's your fault so we're gonna stay here so basically it's just hank and kay brian shelby the tight rope walkers decide they're going to come along and the cop and criminal team of uh red buttons and ernest borgnine also yeah mona and sam well and the um the the ranch hands and they're a couple anonymous locals yeah so brian's plan here because he's like the local that knows the island is to go to what he calls the lava tube and so like i feel like if i was at that hotel and somebody said okay there's a lava flow coming this way and we have to escape if somebody's like yeah let's go to the lava tube i'm not going there no that's not a great idea but the first place they're trying to get to is the is the high forest they call it which is supposedly if all this love is going downhill they'll be safe at this high point but uh or nobody else is interested in the water yeah i mean i don't know i i didn't look it up to see if that's like an actual thing to escape a lava flow if it's between you and the ocean yeah just can i just go out like 30 feet out and wait until the boats get there they did say that all the boats were destroyed by the tsunami but there's also boats coming the next day right i guess how fast and how far can lava flow in the water and how long can i stay afloat that's true and with the water is there going to be another tsunami yeah because there's a whole hotel which i imagine has tons and tons of things that you can make shift into some kind of floating yeah flotilla it's made out of toilet paper rolls toothpicks and plastic forks the sails are made from scabs and dynamite oh god that's gross so they all basically leave in a caravan of three cars um all the people we mentioned everyone else decides they're gonna stay at this hotel yeah as they're leaving the area they have to stop at this avalanche that blocked the road and when they climb to the top of this rock pile they see that the entire road has been washed out yeah on the other side of the hill so they have to just tiptoe along this very thin cliff to get to where the road is whole again one of the anonymous locals falls as they're trying to span this gap and his kid is watching yeah and cries daddy as he's like falling to his death and he doesn't even like fall like obscurely beyond like a you know a foggy layer like he just literally falls and hits a rock right in front of him and his dead body is just lying there uh but the kid gets over it real quick he's a trooper i thought that though because those are the same kids that were in the helicopter that they took from the ranch right i thought their dad was this guy that fell off the first time in the lava i'm like man they're taking that really well and then when he falls and says daddy i'm like oh that's how that's there okay okay well now both of them are dead but they have the kids still back at the hotel nikki catches bob with yolani and they're kissing and he says we don't have to hide it anymore i don't know why they don't have to hide it anymore but yeah oh it turns out now we don't have to do it anymore it's okay if i piss off the partner for this hotel now brian's gone i was like oh wait was there another person it was there are three sides to a square right right well they don't have to pretend anymore because gilmore left right but he didn't leave permanently like he can't just flirt with this woman in front of everybody because doesn't he right but if he's but if he's distinctly not there they don't have to hide but also nikki's still there yeah it's it's weird but uh she catches them them kissing and she confronts him about it and he says yeah no shelby was right you probably should have gone with him but it's too late for me to tell you that now so anyway uh there's refreshments in your room and there's a mint on your pillow and uh he doesn't say that but that's basically the end of this conversation and she's just embarrassed that she put up with this so long and she didn't believe her godfather when he told her yeah uh the escape team comes to a bridge over flowing lava yeah which is which is oddly enough this is the last scene of the movie essentially where we're at the last scene it kind of goes on for quite some time here at this location so after about seven or eight minutes no one has crossed the bridge yet paul newman very slowly crosses it and then crosses the whole way back but uh before they can actually cross the bridge suddenly the kids have disappeared because they were scared so they ran away from the people protecting them but so now everyone's looking for the kids pat maria is like freaking out he's like oh i've checked everywhere i can't find him i don't know what's going on then this is where hank notices that uh rosa has passed away rose and renee are laying on the ground and he says her heart gave out you know there's there's nothing i could do and and uh he says you don't have to bring me with you there's no reason for me to go on i could just die right here with her uh we'll be fine and then pat moreno's like i need to find these children and then he remembers that she before she died rose had said that he should he should protect the kids when they were crossing the right platform and uh and suddenly it gives his life new purpose that oh i gotta take care of these kids everything's gonna be fine as long as i take care of these kids he doesn't really do much to take care of them for the rest of the movie but yeah yes he does he carries one on his back not enough okay well he at this point though he runs he runs off to go find him because you know like he he was planning to stay behind anyway so he goes off to find the kids and he's like okay you guys go cross the bridge i'm going to find these kids yeah so everyone crosses the bridge we get another 10 full minutes and we're still very slowly crossing the bridge but before that happens sam falls through the bridge yeah the there's like a big blast and the most of the planks and the girders start to give uh first the the girl and i just put her as a red girl yeah because because there's a girl in red and a girl in white right uh i don't know their names no they keep calling them the girls the girls yeah so she falls in and i mean they don't show the deaths they just saw they didn't show like them falling towards the last most of the point in contact and then cut off like and you know these falling scenes are hilarious i mean it looks like a you know vertigo poster like cell phone like you know falling body sideways kind of thing yeah anatomy of a murder but uh yeah and then sam and then sam goes down which i was really hoping sam would make it through but he doesn't and then renee shows up with the kids and he gets prepared to use his career as a tightrope walker to successfully navigate across this bridge um he goes and gets like a big stick of bamboo so he has a balancing beam right then uh yes this this is when the volcano officially blows up the entire hotel in one blast that's still that still doesn't happen yet it's not until they get across they all get across the bridge right but nothing else happens along the way i mean oh yeah i mean okay so okay we're going okay i didn't i didn't know if we were going to talk about them going back and forth on the girders and we don't really need it yeah there's not much i mean renee renee crosses the bridge and then hank crosses with one of the kids he almost falls and then yeah the third act of this movie is this bridge yeah because i think it was a really expensive set it was actually on a sound stage this whole scene but uh because it's like some famous sound stage where they have a waterway that goes underneath it that they they used in a bunch of different movies but they lit it so that it would look like lava and had some flame spurts they kept rewriting until a third of the script took place on this bridge but yeah back at the hotel i don't know i don't even understand what's supposed to be happening like a tiny spark escapes from the volcano and it hits the hotel and the whole hotel explodes like it was just a pile of tnt well yeah i think i think that we're not getting a very clear idea of how big the fireball is right i think when you see it leave the volcano what you're supposed and you see how big it is in the sky it's actually that big it's like bigger than the hotel yeah um and in what i think is super crazy because i don't know if this is actually what's happening or not but when nikki's in her room and her ear shatters like she screams so loud that the mirror shatters no i thought it was the heat oh maybe i thought it was the heat from this fireball was so intense that the glass just snapped and i love that shot of like iolani just screaming yeah bob's just like just waiting for it to happen the reactions of the people are because yolani's just terrified yeah because she's like i have this protective necklace the high priest was lying and nikki is furious like she's angry as she's dying yeah but bob is just kind of like oh well like as soon as he sees it coming he's like all right this is that's my bad yeah like he's so resigned to his own death already yeah but you're right then there's just nothing but a smoking crater that we see footage of and and this has played off like 200 other people didn't just die yeah it's like only these three people who kind of deserve it for different reasons it's like no no also a bunch of innocent people were killed here like we cared so much when when red girl fell in the lobby but we don't care what 600 people are just completely demolished but yeah uh the survivors basically bunker down in the lava tube rock formation and we get like a horrible set of conversations where the surviving girl in white looks to mona's like how are you going to live now that sam's dead it was like whoa this is earlier for this question the body's still warm it's going to be worn for a long time but yeah and she just says like oh well i'm just going to adopt these kids i'm not going to check for like a next kid or anything i'm just going to assume that they're up for grabs now we killed both of their dads yeah we said the bias that were reminding me of i think it was a shower thought was like when a body's being cremated there's a moment where it's perfectly cooked that was a good one but yeah so they we're just trying to wrap up everybody's stories here so mona's happy ending is that she gets to uh steal these two children and raise them as her own you will be sad and you will be other sam right girl in red wear this red shirt so from bartender brothel owner fight aficionado trafficker adopted mom sure that's a nicer way to put it and then we have the cop and criminal uh sitting next to each other and he's like you know i would have died if you didn't put out that fire it's like for some reason red buttons doesn't point out yeah i would have died if you hadn't pushed me out of the way and taken that lava ball to the face yeah but uh they basically come to a semi-truce but they say when they get back to new york like just give me a head start if you're gonna keep chasing after me and he's like yeah i am gonna keep chasing after you the next morning rescue boats are arriving they're seeing it from the top of the hill and uh shelby basically tells kay go be with hank i hope you guys are happy together basically and surrenders uh that that love triangle but for some reason k is a good person who we're supposed to like and bob is a bad person even though they're both in love triangles and they're both the center point of their love triangles then that's the end of the film uh we hold on the shot of them starting to walk down to the lifeboats as credits roll over yeah we only get that one shot of uh the ships yeah even though it's the same shot of the seaside the later but the ships are gone yeah and i was like oh no they sunk it was like there were ships there right and then i went back and looked i was like yeah there are two really badly comped ships yeah but they just didn't compliment the final credit shot they don't even look like um they don't even look like the right color those like they're like yellow yeah yeah what is this uh this was directed by james goldstone uh because it couldn't be directed by erwin allen yeah he had previously directed the game they couldn't shoot straight he also directed a movie called roller coaster from 77 which i love it's actually a really great movie it's george segal um trying to track down an amusement park bomber and this was uh james goldstone's last feature because it bombed his heart as i think everyone expected it too yeah this was written by i said before carl foreman and sterling siliphant carl uh wrote high noon starring lloyd bridges uh he also wrote guns of the navarone bridge over the river kwai yeah this was his last feature credit but he has huge stuff on his credits for this to have come from the same pen um sterling's elephant wrote in the heat of the night he's kind of the disaster guy because he also wrote tearing inferno poseidon adventure the swarm he also co-wrote over the top oh do you know over the top oh yeah that's the long movie we also we spoke with uh david engelbach who he co-wrote it with because he wrote a macgyver episode uh the novel was written by gordon thomas and max gordon wits this was the second book of theirs that had been adapted into a disaster film uh the previous one was voyage of the damned which the book was also called voyage of the damned producer erwin allen created lost in space voyage under the sea paul newman played hank anderson he was we mentioned these titles before he also just recently watched some cool hand luke butch cassidy he's also in the sting which you watched recently um hudsucker proxy cars uh jaclyn bissett was k kirby she was miss good thighs in the 1967 casino rail yeah the worst james bond movie maybe of all time if you don't count spectre and then uh kathy and bullet countess adrenie and lumet's murder on the orient express william holden was shelby gilmore here he's max schumacher in network uh he played ransom in the 67 casino royale he was also in bridge over the river kwai from the same screenwriter and he was joe gillis in sunset boulevard when he was much younger yeah also uh one of my favorites is dog 17. oh okay yeah but he's great though yeah edward albert played brian uh he played mr collins in several versions of power rangers he's the father of the time force red ranger he's also the voice of daredevil on spider-man the animated series red buttons was francis fendley he plays hoagy and pete's dragon yeah uh james martin in the poseidon adventure long time comedian and fun funny character actor and great name wonderful uh adhesive for shirts barbara carrera played yelani she was fatima and never say never again she also played maria in the 1977 version of the island of dr moreau which that's not the brando one right that's michael york one yeah valentina cortese played rose valdez uh she was queen ariadne in yeah she was robin williams wife veronica hamill plays nikki she played margo shepard on lost yeah i don't know who that is i had to look it's like i had to look it up uh because that she plays jack sheppard's mom and you know she's she's only in like three episodes oh okay and because it's all flashback stuff yeah but i was like oh she wasn't lost i was like oh okay she has a couple episodes but yeah uh she's also suzanne constantine and poseidon adventure and uh linda maxwell in cannonball with david carradine uh which cannonball is kind of like a precursor to cannonball run but they're about the same thing it's a cross-country driving yeah movie um i don't think cannonball is as much of a comedy as cannonball run is but they're both based on an actual thing called the cannonball run that happens over here um alex karis was tiny baker he plays in blazing saddles sheriff wallace and porkys and he was squash bernstein in victor victoria i think he was also the dead on webster right was he yeah uh yeah he was george oh okay i'm not familiar you know you remember watch webster no i didn't watch that one uh he was also like like a like a famous football player right yeah burgess meredith has rene valdez uh he was ammon in clash of the titans uh he plays mickey in the rocky movies um he was penguin on the original adam west batman yeah and he's also in hindenburg and day of the locust both classic yeah crazy movies yeah i don't know if hindenburg would be considered a disaster movie but uh of course it is but not of like this yeah it's not a natural disaster movie but it's a disaster movie that was a disaster and it happened and there's a movie it's also a fictional account yeah exactly that's what i'm thinking well this one this didn't really happen either no spoiler alert james franciscus was bob spangler uh he's tucked kirby from valley of guangzi he also played brent in beneath the planet of the apes and he will be back later this year for night kill john considine was webster who's fell through the wonka vader he is a repeat actor from macgyver uh he plays a divorced logger and an evil real estate mogul in a couple episodes uh he also directed a bunch of them including good night macgyver where we learned macgyver's first name in medieval times with wizard and he directed the trail to doomsday macgyver tv movie he also did presumably non-macgyver related things i didn't write and he don't yeah once i saw this macgyver stuff was like i'll let petty uh sheila allen played mona she was the nurse in poseidon adventure um she's paula in the towering inferno and she is credited as a producer on the recent poseidon remake that was just called poseidon yeah you know it was this was an interesting thing too because uh is sheila allen related to erwin allen it didn't occur to me until just now uh i actually don't know that that that didn't occur to me at all until you said it married your roommate okay so that makes sense then um but uh it was interesting that she was in poseidon adventure as such a small role because she reminds me so much of shelley winters yeah and and i almost i was wondering like i wonder if this role was meant for shelly winters from poseidon adventure and she just wouldn't come back for it yeah because like came back and red buttons came back that that's totally possible but yeah that makes sense now that she was in those movies and was credited as a producer on the poseidon remake because irwin by then had passed away i think so and pat morita obviously is sam we had him as mr miyagi uh he's also the chinese emperor in mulan and he played arnold on happy days up or down jess uh i'm a little torn on that because i think that it's kind of falls into that so bad it's good too so bad it's good territory uh yeah for sure i but i would say it's not a must watch no okay yeah thumbs up for me this is a thumbs up this is something i'll put on at a party or something and just be like watch this hot garbage i've been watching this movie since i was a kid uh and when i found out that this was gonna be on our list i was like what time we're out yes it's a time for our disaster movies uh yeah why don't we do that um i asked you guys to come up with your own pitches for disaster movies before we get into our letterbox stuff um who wants to start i can start too it's your idea take it away here's my idea it's basically a turducken of disaster movies um there is a titanic themed hotel in las vegas and it's literally the ship standing upright before it got sucked under water so they built the whole thing on the side no not at all it's called sos and there's an earthquake that opens a fissure so that the ship sinks into lava so you have the boat the lava and the hotel disaster movie all in one piece oh wow that's way better than mine yeah mine is not nearly that fleshed out all right what do you guys that that's something i can actually see i don't know if it's called bon voyage or or sos it's one of those too but i like voyage because it reminds me of the mirage uh yeah my mine wasn't nearly uh is thought out mine was more along the lines of a movie like meteor or deep impact or you know asteroid impact movies but less of the uh preventable ones like armageddon and meteor if you haven't seen me or sean connery it's terrible yeah um but uh and deep impact was more like it's gonna happen and everything's gonna be okay but a lot of people are gonna die yeah this is more taking up from the water world kind of aspect where this impact is going to happen and it's going to cause the ocean levels to rise and more so like the government keeping it under wraps while they made preparations for for these things to happen because that was always the thing that bothered me about water world it's like no one the water level just didn't happen overnight yeah you didn't just wake up and go oh dry land is a myth yes it's like no no it's like no they didn't make any kind of preparations yeah so i was like i want to see a movie about them getting ready but maybe having it all go wrong well then you're going to love the first half of deep impact isn't that the whole thing they're like just meeting in the government to talk about the ele and how they're going to like put everybody underground yeah but but you have people who are just up on top of them hillsides and mountains that are like oh we made it we're okay up here too we don't need to go underground we could just be high um yeah um so i i wanted this to be more like that this is gonna be a global catastrophe everything's gonna be underwater we and and and when like the panic and all that stuff like breaking out and then when the impact occurs and things start to happen and and who's safe and who's not and we're what countries are building the their ships and and all that i like i like all this concept of like like being like almost at war with china and russia of like who's gonna build the biggest survival bunker bunker ship like and there's like well is it going to have armaments on it because now we're going to be up against these other countries that have ships and it's not going to be a cooperative world thing right it's going to be totally everyone out for each other which i think again could lead into a water world scenario another important question what is this called it needs a title yeah i i really struggled to come up with a title and so i really don't have one adult swim jess uh okay so mine uh mine is more a la uh day after tomorrow okay sort of thing so uh extreme climate change no no so it's more in that in the style of the film that there's bad things happening all over the place that's affecting everyone and it's really bad except the bad things that are happening are the ten plagues so okay so we so we have the plagues happening and uh you know because i i haven't uh you should talk to dean about this yes i so i haven't seen a movie that's done this before so there's plague movies out there that take place you know in ancient egypt and go through it as you know the story of exodus and all that stuff and then there's i've there are some modernizations of of this story there's um there's one called the reaping which is stars hillary swank and it's like a uh psychological thriller but i want an actual like natural disaster movie straight up disaster movie where lots of people are getting killed this is affecting the whole world and these plagues are coming uh you know one after the other after the other and people are trying to escape him and and who's gonna survive and sort of the bad guys of this movie are going to be like the religious leaders that are going to be like look this is god's wrath like he's coming they're letting it happen he's right he's telling us we need to repent you have to come with us or you know and and repent or you're all gonna die and you know the good guys are gonna be you know just trying to stop it yeah like our scientists say no they're scientific explanations we need to actually physically do something about this like we need to actually stop them and not just you know hide and pray and you know and they're trying to actually save people that sounds cool i like it yeah um speaking of uh day after tomorrow though roland emerick is kind of like the new irwin allen oh yeah like he kind of inherited that uh that title of 2012 disaster movie um and uh didn't he do independence day independence day yeah godzilla oh yeah yeah yeah he did a lot of solid disaster movies did you have a title for years i mean i feel like that's a simple one you could just go straight with like the plagues or yeah the plagues or you know if there wasn't already a movie called that i'd call it the ten something like that the ten two we just we just reclaimed that you just forget that last movie called the ten perfect 10. i can't forget the last movie called let's get david wayne in here to direct this one too yeah uh letterboxed what do you think uh so i actually put this one really close to our last movie tom horn and i put this above midnight madness and just below tom horn okay uh i have this uh on mine just above uh last married couple okay and but below american gigolo um i think this might actually be pretty high for me just because uh i like it for the funniness and the weirdness of it i i think this goes right above saturn 3 and under caligula for me that's very high yeah cause i know clicky that's pretty high on your list it is it's in my top i think eight right now so um but yeah i uh i enjoyed this movie i think it's something i would watch again i mean it's garbage it's a terrible movie but it's super fun to watch and and fun is counts for a lot just for the cast just just for the cast alone i was like this is super exciting to see these people who have been forced into a movie they don't want to be a video it's great to watch this like pulgary of people stuck in a movie at gunpoint but yeah i think that's about it for this one um if you guys have any thoughts you'd like to share with us we are vintage video pod on
