90 minutes of print + same old stock footage = A REAL MOVIE DISASTER!

Those who haven't discovered this movie containing true disaster footage, don't worry about a thing! What you get is over ninety minutes of archived films on disastrous events that happened over the course of modern human history, with narration by William Conrad plus quite a few underpaid folks playing eyewitnesses voicing out short sentences on the events that occurred. The best segments were on Hurricane Camille and the Brazillian high-rise fire (which looks disturbing for a PG-rated release). Unfortunately, all of the footage contained in CATASTROPHE can be found in other videos with more explicit detail, meaning that its rarity is disintegrated. Oh, the humanity!

OH, WELL!

Trivia
Narration in the segment dealing with the 1971 eruption of Mt. Etna mentions a 17th Century Sicilian law that forbids anyone from stemming or diverting lava flows from their natural course.

Goofs
In the introduction to the segment of the Xenia Tornado, William Conrad recites the poem 'Who Has Seen the Wind?' by Robert Louis Stevenson. The poem was, in fact, written by Christina Rossetti.
