Nuclear Annihilation is funny.

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 1999)

Unquestionably the funniest pre-Zucker Brothers movie.....EVER! So many great things about this movie. It is well acted by Peter Sellars in the role of three parts. The funniest of those being the title character. But the show is stolen by Slim Pickens in the classic sowboy ride on the nuclear bomb as it crashes toward earth. And also by Sterling Hayden as the battle obsessed general gone off the deep end. George C. Scott also does his job well as the equally battle obsessed but sane general. So many classic lines and classic scenes. A great score. Young James Earl Jones in a bit part. My personal favorite scene in the movie is the trooper who is more worried about the Coca Cola Company then nuclear fallout. This movie is exteremly funny on such a dark topic. It laughs at the entire insanity and trivialness of nuclear combat. This movie is unlike any other ever made. Unique in every fiber. See it, but be sure to keep a bottle of rain water handy. Wouldn't want to risk losing those precious bodily fluids.
