Guess I need to re-write this scene from the ending: The survivors have exited Disneyland and are in the makeshift headquarters, huddled in blankets and looking a bit worse for wear. The mood is somehow jubilant but subdued, partly for the losses they've experienced, partly because of the presence of a very official looking man in the headquarters. A somber man who clearly represents a national security agency is consulting a clipboard while interrogating I-57. "JB Stewlet?" "She made it." [Shot of JB Stewlet and DlandDug kissing. They break the kiss and she walks over to the wastebasket into which she drops the tattered remains of a pair of high heels.] "TDLFAN?" I-57 lowers his eyes. "We don't know." From the crowd of survivors comes various shouts. "It was the flood!" "Explosion!" "Giant boulder!" "Lost him in the earthquake!" "Bad turkey leg!" "Pestilence!" "Beri-beri!" The G-Man looks at I-57 quizzically. I-57: "I tried to warn him..." G-Man: "Beaumandy?" I-57: "Lost. By a landslide." The G-Man closes his clipboard. "Good job, all. Very impressive. Only two lost." With that remark, the room becomes totally quiet. Just then, of course, Beaumandy and TDLFAN walk into the headquarters, laughing together, engrossed in their swapping of travel horror stories...

But in the sequel our little band of survivors have to journey deep into the ruins of DCA and try to stop a band of terrorists from recovering some fantastic Hidden Treasure/Nuclear Weapons/kenedy's Brain!

I guess after that unfortunate accident involving the T-Rex AA from Primeval World, JB ends up leading the survivors to safety... As for disaster-movie sequels, 1979's Beyond the Poseidon Adventure (after the 1972 original) is LAAAAAME. It starts off pretty good, but then, oy (possible spoilers so beware). Oh, and I haven't seen this movie in a while, so some parts might be off: The movie takes place IMMEDIATELY after the first one as the Coast Guard is leaving with the first batch of survivors, while Michael Caine, along with partners Sally Field and Karl Malden, are treasure hunting. They are in a dinghy. Yes. A 60-ft tidal wave flips over an oceanliner, but not Caine's little tugboat. Anyway, Caine and Co. approach the Poseidon and are greeted by Dr. Telly Savalas and his crew of medics. The two groups say a small prayer and head on into the ship: Caine's OBSESSIVELY looking for loot, and Savalas is looking for survivors. They make their way through the hull and into the engine room where Gene Hackman and Stella Stevens were killed (in fact the footage of the flames in the water and her body are used again). KARL MALDEN: This place is a floating time bomb! The two crews make their way into another room, cue explosion and screams, and here comes Survivor group #1: Peter Boyle, Nurse Shirley Jones and Veronica Hamel (both Shirley and Karl get separate 'And...' billings). The groups merge as one as they meet up with another trio: Boyle's daughter, Texas billionaire Slim Pickens and Elevator Operator Mark Harmon (who rescued Boyle's daughter...and accidentally tore her dress in which daddy thinks he raped her). The large group now comes to the GAP OF DOOM, in which they have to jump across a huge hole in the floor to continue. SALLY FIELD: Come on now, you can do it! JUMP! Everybody does so, save for Telly and crew. Caine and friends make their way to the Purser's safe and loot the goodies as Veronica Hamel gets second thoughts and joins up with Kojak. She meets up with them and kisses him for rescuing them, and he tells her to join the others. After she leaves, Kojak tells one of his men to kill her, so she ends up getting shot, but still manages to ax the guy. Caine and friends then make their way into the kitchen, which has magically repaired itself and still has edible food. Yes, Mark Harmon actually brings out a perfectly golden-brown chicken for him, the daughter and Young Frankenstein, but daddy still doesn't like him. Along the way, Caine and Company meet up with Shirley Knight (wow, all we need now are MacLaine, Boone, Booth, Henderson, Hemphill and Temple) and her blind husband, Jack Warden, both waiting for death in their cabin. Explosions along the way and we lose Miss Knight, and we also see that Karl Malden has some sort of illness, due to his facial expressions and the grab at his stomach. Love that subtlety. Let's see, The Original Alfie and Friends come across the body of Veronica and determine that there's a madman on board. They end up in the storage area of the ship (with upside cars from the 1920s) and confront Ernst Stavro Blofeld and find out what he's *really* there for... Plutonium. Yes, plutonium. On a cruiseliner. On the way to Greece/Israel. Plutonium. Neatly stored in metal cannisters amongst other large items for shipping. Plutonium. Oh, but it gets better. The machine guns come out. Apparently, there were also crates of ammo and artillery on the ship as well. Machine Guns. Ammo. Plutonium. I wonder if Captain Stubing ever had this problem? You never saw Gopher, Isaac and Julie pump bullets into Charo, Ted Knight or our beloved Gene Rayburn. We get the obligatory machine gun battle in which we lose Frank Barone, but not before he apologizes to his daughter and Mark Harmon. And now, we have a fight to the finish to get out of the ship before impending doom. Senor Savalas and Evil Friends make their way out first, but not before securing a huge net over the opening of the Poseidon's hull. Meanwhile, Mr. Scrooge and friends find a supply of oxygen tanks. Problem: 3 tanks, 8 people. Another problem: Slim Pickens has a hissy fit and confesses that he's merely a wine steward (which also explains his way around the kitchen). SLIM PICKENS: Because it's always the ruse that goes first! Everybody could care less about that NOW, and it's back to the tanks as they do the shareware thing and make their way out, to the dismay of Mr. Clean's evil twin. Caine's also POed because everyone has to leave the gold and diamonds that they took. Telly and Company machine-gun our heroes, but only Slim is taken down, still holding the precious bottle of wine throughout the whole film as if it were the One Ring. Oh, and Karl Malden appears to be missing (he deliberately stayed since he knew his time was coming). All of a sudden, heavy objects in the ship fall from the ceiling, we get a medley of explosions before the entire ship is GONE, and we see Caine and friends sail off in the dinghy. Oh, it turns out that Sally Field kept one of the diamonds in her navel, and that she and Michael love each other. SALLY FIELD: You're gonna kiss me now? Horrible, horrible sequel... it's interesting that Michael Caine also worked with Allen in The Swarm, also released in '79. This was about a swarm of killer bees as they kill off all the actors from every single diaster movie ever made (some by Allen). Fred MacMurray plays ONE of the love interests for Olivia deHavilland, but his body goes flying out of a train. So chalk those two up, along with Airport '79 and When Time Ran Out (another Allen creation, this time in '81 with an angry volcano and physics defied) as 4 of the worst diaster films ever made.

Originally Posted By DlandDug Ah yes. The Swarm. The disaster film that has my favorite, all-time-best, dopey dopey dopey line of dialogue. Delivered by Army General Richard Widmark, who has the brilliant notion to send troops into the streets of Houston with flamethrowers to attempt to BURN UP the massive swarm. As the troops run amok burning everything in sight, Widmark looks over the city and says, "Houston... in flames! Will history blame me? Or the bees?"

Btw, I remember when Disney Channel used to air Poseidon... I still need to see the first Airport. I'd like to know how the bees got INSIDE those fireproof suits the soldiers were wearing when they were burning up Houston. Hmmm... and Richard Chamberlain inadvertently blowing up the entire power plant as he gets stung by the bees... and even Henry Fonda... sigh... *keeps claws crossed for a 25th Annversary edition DVD for Airplane!*
