>>>> That's kind of like what happened in the big-budget "Broken Arrow," when Christian Slater and the cute-redhead-we-never-saw-in-anything-again escaped an underground nuclear explosion by jumping in an underground river and swimming 60 yards!

I remember that.  Guess radiation means nothing to anyone. Then there's "Deep Impact" where the kid escapes a tsunami wav  travelling at unknown speeds by riding a motercycle through the woods..at a slower pace since riding on rocky terrain is hard. They just got splashed a little. There should be a book based on movies: "How I survived a near catastrophe"

I think TESTAMENT is probably one of the most depressing movies ever made....

 You mean Samantha Mathis, who also starred with Slater in Pump Up the Volume and had a major part in Super Mario Brothers as well as quite a few other movies?

 Yes, but it's probably one of the most realistic movies to depict the aftermath of a limited nuclear war.

"The World, the Flesh, and the Devil" Only three survivors: a black man, a white woman, and a white man. The black man is Harry Belafonte, the white woman is Inger Stevens, and the white man is Mel Ferrer.
And "On the Beach," also from 1959, w/ Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins, where Australia is the home of the last survivors on earth.
I'll try to think of some more. Enjoy!

I remember one weird PA-movie starring a young Michael Dudikoff  (I think) and some other guy who run around in 30s P.I.-outfits because pulp P.I. novels was all there was to read in their bunker.


Also I remember an animated british film about an old couple living through a nuclear exchange and after that and not getting whats happening.
One of the saddest films I've ever seen.


I don't remember the titles though, perhaps someone could help me out ?

Well if you go animated, you get about half of the Anime catalog, starting with Akira

A few more:

SURVIVOR


Would that be um..the one with Richard Moll?  Or um.. the other one with Richard Moll?

Neither IMDB link is very informative, although I've seen the first (later) movie where he plays Kyla. Although it has a very post-apoc feel when the get down to Earth, I wasn't really sure it qualified

Just finishing the Neon Genesis Evangelion Series, which is about the fulfillment of an apocalyptic prophecy. Of course, the world doesn't end until the end of the series.

Another animated movie that might fit is Titan A.E.

As for regular, live-action movies, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Blood of Heroes, featuring Rutger Hauer and Joan Chen playing a brutal sport in the wasteland of the future.

There was also Phoenix the Warrior, depicting a future in which hot-looking women rule the future, led by an old hag living in a factory that someone is trying to pass off as a bunker or something. Notable for having the worst performance by Persis Khambatta, and that's saying something.

That would be When the Wind Blows.

This is the one I was thinking of (the second one above).  It had some stricking imagery, but generally sucked ass.

Another one I just heard about was CAPTIVE WOMEN (1952) -- a cross between post-apocalypse and a cave man movie.

Neon Genesis is one of my favorites.  The ending left more questions than answers, but I enjoyed it very much.  Another PA anime that comes to mind was "A Wind Named Amnesia."  The film wasn't to bad, but I really liked the premise.  Everyone in the world developed amnesia and lost all of their memories except for one person.  Worth looking at.

Just wondering if you're referring to the two-part series ending, where they do a psychological exploration of the characters, or the two follow-up movies that were made because the fans wanted some closure to the story.

I've just watched Death and Rebirth, and it's filled in a good deal of missing information. End of Evangelion, which I'm about to watch, looks like it has a lot more.

With this group, it's amazing if anything has gone unmentioned after 20 posts :)
