So true the effects are extremely bad. Looked like it cost about 20 pence to make the film. Still makes it hilarious and a complete legend of a film!!!! : p

They filmed some of the ER scenes in the movie were I used to work as a janitor. Lord, what a mess they made of the day surgery area.

Reason the FX suck so much is that the year they filmed in Alaska we where having a 10 year record low amount of snow during the winter at the time of filming. Hence the need for CGI and lots of scale models.

with the dybmite because he said it was going to divert the avalanche but then it got out of hand & when he was dug out of the snow he said we did it. Did what?

You know it's bad when they have to explain what the EPA is. I got stuck watching the first half while at a beauty salon.
