Trivia
The pictures of Mickey's wife in the movie are pictures of Michael Biehn's real life wife Jennifer Blanc-Biehn.

Goofs
Mickey asks if they ever saw what happened to the Japanese when "we dropped Little Boy on Nagasaki". The Little Boy nuclear bomb was, in fact, dropped on Hiroshima on Aug 6, 1945. Nagasaki was hit with the Fat Man bomb 3 days later. However, it is plausible that the Mickey character gets the facts mixed up or fails to remember them properly in the stressful situation.

Quotes
Wendi: I don't want to be down here. I want to go now.
Mickey: I know, sweetie. But Uncle Mickey says we have to stay.
Wendi: Why?
Mickey: Because your face will melt off and your hair will fall out.

Alternate versions
Available on DVD/Bluray as both Rated and Unrated versions.

One intense popcorn flick

Well damn that one got intense, can't believe I hadn't seen this film before now, it is well worth checking out, if your looking for a gripping thrill ride. Just like with every film, this has its ups and down, but that doesn't draw away from the enjoyment. With a group of somewhat strangers trapped together for however long, as they each slowly die from the fallout, each having to change in the face of this new world, some evolving to learn how everything works and others descending into madness / jealousy / or paranoia. Definitely worth checking out, just make sure to bring a big old bucket of popcorn and plenty of pop as you won't want to leave.
