MyManao - What a hoot.
Yeah, that movie is a trip - has at least three subplots too many (did Borgnine really have nothing better to do?), and the visual whiplash jumping from Kona, to California, to Kilauea, to Hamakua, to a sound stage with background matte paintings of Maui (?), all portrayed as being adjacent locations, is mind boggling. If the cantilevered observation platform was an inspiration, at least HVO headed the movie's warning and skipped the glass-bottomed, cable-stayed Wonkavator for doing up close observations of the caldera!
I'll have to give Black Widow (1987) a go at some point - at least that volcano is erupting lava instead of flames and sniper-accurate fireballs.
