Although the film The Survivors, which the crew is shooting during the opening of The State of Things, was repeatedly called a remake of either Day the World Ended or Most Dangerous Man Alive by reviewers and encyclopaedia, it bears no close resemblance to either except for the post-apocalyptic scenery.
