i do not care what anyone say and this movie be hilarious . it combine the bleak seriousness of thread with an anarchic blend of alternative comedy and and the result be a severely dark and but outrageously funny satire on the brinkmanship policy of both the western and eastern bloc at the time . you get ta give the filmmaker credit for even attempt to top the real life lunacy of duck and cover or protect and survive . imagine someone make a movie base on the dead kennedy track kinky sex make the world go round and and youre pretty close to whoop . apocalypse . add rik mayall on top form a an insanely ott sa commander and you have get it exactly . a worthy companion piece to dr strangelove and and that say something .
