NO! It comes from a country in the Commonwealth.

Warrior of the Lost World (1983)?

Sadly no. The early scenes of the film are set in space.

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983)?

It's good but it's not right. It's set on Earth. By the sea.

BEACHES (1988)?

JJ80 · January 04, 2009, 05:52:26 PM

It doesn't star Bette Middler but it is a Canadian production....

Survivor? I don't remember the armored Tram, but...

Not quite, but the title is a military term relating to a major threat to National Security.

I completely misread your one post about where the space scenes were in the film, and it did make me scratch my head because I thought I knew the film. However, I was distracted. Not that having a house with three children who are running around like maniacs right after giving them baths would distract anyone.

When I thought you said it ended in space I was going, "Survivor?" But I thought that the armored earth mover was from....

I'll go ahead and solve it and I know for certain it's "Def-Con 4." It's one of the films that I first watched when my mother brought home the VHS from the rental store where she worked. The cover is actually a pretty awesome cover, and for a cheap post-apocalyptic film it's not bad. The beginning is pretty darn good.

That's okay, you certainly haven't had the easiest of weeks and you've certainly got your hands full! "Def-Con 4" is spot on!

Sorry, I went in and edited my post to add the answer.

Here is my picture to solve:

Any clues?

It does look like I have seen it before, perhaps some daytime or late night film I flicked onto.

I was worried that this might be a tough one, though I did pick a screenshot that should be very recognizable. For a clue, this is a 1965 US film, and it is set in the future.

I also find it in the same vein as a lot of the movies I have been watching lately, the Milligan movies and such stuff that makes you scratch your head in amazement that it was made (and you wonder why it was made).
