I don't know, she, through her men, murdered 6 or 8 Army guards right off the bat at the start of the movie. That's pretty awful to me. Doug

Most fall out shelters plans were designed to have their own power for a limited amount of time. And it was never assumed that all power would be lost and all infrastructure would break down, that is only a recent invention of the movies. Remember that EMP doesn't happen unless the device is...

There is every reason for the fridge to be lead lined. The test is obviously a civil defense test as indicated by the presence of suburban homes. In real world Civil Defense tests they put all kinds of things in the blast zone to see how they would hold up. Its not unreasonable to assume they...

It's probably because most people have no idea of the real effects of an atomic blast, and just assume that everything is vaporized. Doug

I also have to disagree with this. I thought the whole situation was hysterical. The mannequins, Howdy Doody on the TV. The whole thing seems to me to be played as a twisted farce. They NEVER build these things to this level of detail for these tests. Then there is the irony of getting into a...

Again I have to say that some survivors in Hiroshima did so by simply being behind a wooden fence, where those standing very near them were killed by the heat. Being inside a fridge, a device designed to keep cold in and heat out, is actually very plausible. Being lead lined (plausible that they...

Well I would put the fridge scene in that same "vaguely" category. Doug

There were shots that were planned for Raiders where the sub had submerged to Periscope depth and Indy had lashed himself to the scope being washed over by the ocean. I believe they may have actually shot some of this. People complained as much about this sequence in 81 as they seem to be about...

As for the Fridge scene being implausible, in reality surviving the heat and radiation of a relatively low yield atomic device (No hydrogen or megaton yield bombs were ever tested in the United States) in a fridge is not only possible its quite likely. There were survivors in Hiroshima who got...

I think the "nuke the fridge" statement is funny as this is one of the most plausible elements of the whole movie. Doug
