OMG-Llyord Bridges drawing his gun on the computer HYSTERICAL!


Just watched this and Bridges character was so OVER THE TOP that I can easily see why the actor was cast in spoof movies! The dialogue this guy was spouting capped off by him trying to save the day by disabling the computer by attempting to SHOOT IT has to be seen to be believed!

As for the rest of the movie...comic gold! I kept wondering what kind of glue they had holding on Shat's toupee when he was on top of that train. And then you've got Dr. Brackett from EMERGENCY in full lounge lizard mode hitting on any female with a pulse...and poor old Raymond Burr sitting there apparently reading off cue cards by the way he was acting in his scenes. Throw in the stupid kids who just shows up to glare at the conductor, track workers with a death wish, a random kitten in the movie for no apparent reason,crowds lining the track either to protest or enjoy watching a good train wreck (one spectator is eating and ice cream cone!) and an engineer so by the book he would have rode the train to his death.

Capping off the movie we even have Shatner feeling sorry for the guy dying who caused the whole thing.

On a positive note I like how it left the door open that Shatner's con man and the cuckholded wife just might have a hook up of their own after the credits roll.

A very funny disaster movie thanks to Lloyd Bridges and William Shatner.

Did anyone notice the end title music seemed too light hearted for a movie like this?
