1. When you're on a team trying to save the world from destruction, it's best to duck into a bar across the street and not tell anyone where you're going
2. When one of your team members trying to save the world from destruction goes missing, check the bar across the street

59. The entire Northern Hemisphere is in the same time zone.
60. in the wake of a lunar disaster, the president's first concern will be mid-afternoon werewolves.
61. Social phobia is a real disease.
62. Even though the moon is moving through space, the cloud of dust stirred up by an impact will move with it and stay in place.
63. If you want to be taken seriously, iron your shirts.
64. To work as an astrophysicist for NASA, it is not necessary to actually know anything about astronomy or physics, or even the proper names of things in outer space.
65. Former drill instructors make lousy therapists. [That may have been a commercial. Things starting blurring into one long stream of idiocy at some point.]

66. A dwarf galloping to the moon is too heavy to bend light and be noticed by astronomers.
67. A dwarf galloping to the moon is so heavy and can cause the moon to attract people and objects from the surface of the earth, but it cannot attract the rubble of meteors it floats with.
68. If a force is attracting a body in one direction, say earth, and another in another direction, say a heavy moon, then unlike what Newton said, the forces do not add vectorially.
69. Hollywood likes slingshots, and the slung body around another one is randomly chosen, not the light object (earth) around the heavy one (heavy moon).
70. A backpack is neutralizing magnetism, even the strongest one, so that when a metal objects is taken out of it, it can get magnetized and fly for tens of yards.
71. A compass can only show the earth’s north, if another strong magnet is around it will not point to it, but will cycle franticly.
72. The moon never crescents
73. It takes a very smart computer so calculate how much it takes the moon to revolve around earth. The definition of “month” should be amended.
74. The moon's angular momentum is so strong that even when the moon's mass is twice of earth's, it will keep it in an orbit and won't let those too attract themselves the second they are the closest.
74. only people, their rides and some objects, obey gravity laws, not bottles on tables, tables, post office boxes, road dirt, trees, birds, facilities, computers and LCDs.
75. A craft on the moon can escape its gravity / magnetic field (you choose, as it seems to be the same), even if it's on its surface, but not if it is further on the surface of earth.
76. The second someone says goodbye over radio, the transmission is broken.
77. A huge meteorite hitting off the coast of Australia doesn't cause tsunamis, only if it hits America it will wipe out the world's dinosaurs.
78. You're always driving in the opposite direction of the horror; look in the rear view mirror as you drive.
79. It takes very little to fly from the US to Germany around the world, when the flights over the Atlantic are banned.
80. Astronauts are very smart; they just need 5 green buttons with no text on them to do everything.
the Electro Magnetic field generated from the moon being closer will stop new cars from turning over but all other electronics are fine.
THe EMF will cause normal Metals to electrocute you but your phone will still work
81. In Germany it's normal for Germans to speak English to each other. Even when they declare their love. (getting married)
82. If you include a Russian astronaut , it's not necessary to check the flag of the country. (He's wearing the Dutch flag on his arm)
83. If the moon is crashing into the earth, people remain very calm and go golfing.
84. Make sure that you include all races in a disaster film. O no they forgot the black guy !!! But make sure that no American hero dies.
I didn't notice the Dutch flag! I wasn't looking at the arm patches, though.
85. If you're planning a last minute wedding in Germany, you go to a church. (A religious wedding is invalid in terms of legal stuff, for that you must be married by a Registrar, a representative of the state, not of a religion. Religious ceremony is optional. Something Napoleon introduced here and Bismarck reaffirmed.)
Hey, at least they actually shot part of the film in Germany :) I was checking the delineators on the road first, to see where they had filmed; and then they had loads of real ambulances and THW (Civilian) Corps of Engineers and police around.

86. Even though everyone knows it's rubbish and full of inaccuracies, they will still spend 3 hours watching it to the very end. Now THAT defies all logic. And yes, I am one of them.
shareHeheh. So true. But you know, I am addicted to this kind of disaster movies. Asteroid slamming into Moon? Moon slamming into Earth? Earth pushed out of its orbit? Bring it on! (Now I need to check if the Movie Physics site has done a review... http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/)

No 34..... I only watched this for Natasha Henstridge.......
Oh my they have a few reasonably well known actors in this. How on Earth did they manage to pull that off?
