A reference to the movie by the same name, btw. |

My mother had some business meeting the night this movie aired, and I, at five years old, watched it with my dad. He was never too careful with what I watched on TV (and we had HBO at the time), unlike my mother.
It was kind of a traumatic experience. /CSB |

That was the entire point of the movie, Stank.
As far I remember, this movie (along with "Threads", a British movie several times scarier) played a considerable part on the peace treats and the nuclear weapon control of the 80's. |

The title is referencing the 1980's movie of the same name, but the scene is obviously from Terminator 3. What should be noted is the number of missiles appearing to launch from sites so near to each other is not actually incorrect. There are places in the US, notably the border area of Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska where missile silos are located every 5 to 10 miles. |

The reason for locating so many launch sites in this area is that it is in the exact center of the United states. Forcing Soviet missiles or bombers targeting the US launch sites to fly over as much of the US as possible thus increasing the time with which to shoot them down. |

Awesome artwork. |

The Soviets knew about those launch sites. Half an hour after this picture, that same skyline would be a forest of mushroom clouds. |

"They're on their way to Russia. They take about 30 minutes to reach their targets."
"So do theirs...right?" |

When we watched this movie in history class in high school, I recognized a lot of the footage of the explosions from those old DoD nuclear test movies from the '50s. I had no idea how they created the mushroom clouds, though, since it was a made for TV movies and CG was far too expensive back then (and probably wouldn't have been very accurate). Only recently did I learn that they made the mushroom clouds by dropping oil into water, flipping it upside down, and then green-screening it into the sky. |

Now think of this movie, with the blast effects from "Sarah's Nightmare" in Terminator 2. It's been described as one of the most accurate depictions of a thermonuclear blast.
This is the worst thing humankind has ever invented. |

Actually, Heart, there is serious competition for that title from the biowarfare classification. Nerve agents, modified cholera, dioxin, and suchlike. Not even counting the effects of mixed warheads with zooanotics and defoliants. While the atomic bombs kills everything for good in an area, using virus warheads means a permanent life of paranoia over susceptiblity because every bit of food or water or breath you take might mean sezures and death. Torture for everyone left alive, ever. How's that for a jerk move? |
