- Gay Millenial watches Earthquake (1974), one of my all-time favorite disaster movies. Yes it's cheesy and yes it's long but it has a great cast and it's a fun crazy time.

Earthquake and the Towering Inferno!!! Shake and Bake!!!
LOL....shake and bake
The girl in the pink bathrobe is Genevieve Bujold. She acted in the 1978 thriller Coma.
Marjoe Gortner, known professionally as Marjoe, who plays the psycho pervert Jody, was trained from toddlerhood to be a revivalist evangelical preacher. This was AFTER he had left that life and renounced it, writing a memoir about it and becoming a musician and actor. He did not return to that life and become a preacher after this movie or any other time as of now (2023). He is now in his late 70s and still does some acting gigs.
I saw this in a large Theatre equiped with the Sensaround speakers .... The place really shook it was really cool! I bought the soundtrack album and it actually had specially recorded sections that shook the house. I played it in the downstairs den on my expensive stereo and my Mom came running down yelling "Jimmy what the Hell is going on !!!".
That's so cool!
yeah...but without that gimmick, Earthquake was BONE DULL. The verbal spats between Ava Gardner and Charlton Heston were more interesting to watch.
One of my favs. Chuck Heston's most memorable decade
Right! Soylent Green, The Omaga Man, Airport 75, Two Min Warning, the best!
The moment the academy went crazy and gave this movie an oscar for special effects!
I was living in Santa Cruz, California Oct. 17, 1989, when the Loma Prieta quake occurred. 7.1 and we lost all power for a week, no gas stations, 5 bridges collapsed and there was only one way out of the town. I had a battery powered radio in my car and brought it into my workplace and we heard that the Bay Bridge collapsed which was 100 miles away. Always before we would joke around when we would go through a little one and say did you feel that? Well, this one was for real. Santa Cruz was the epicenter on the coastal side. Loma Prieta was inland. they began at the same time and went up to meet and went through to Oakland where the bridge was at. The World Series baseball game was going on and 2 Bay Area teams were in it so a lot of people were in some establishment or actually at the game so that fact saved a lot of people.
We lived in Reno at the time and my dad said that he felt it downtown while at work in a highrise.
I was living in Santa Cruz that day as well. Will never forget sleeping outside that night with a bunch of other people. No one wanted to be indoors. It was so eerie feeling the ground directly beneath you move and shake all night.
I'm a huge disaster movie fan too. Started with Airport in 1970.
That's a great one!
Loved how they told THEIR story, didn’t care whether people didn’t like the downer ending. I love the realism of it all. Also the fact there was no real dialog between the characters those last few moments, but even a person just coming into the story, could clearly see what was going on with the leads.
Disaster movies usually have one thing in common, middle-aged women are usually killed off. Shelley Winters in The Poseidon Adventure, Jennifer Jones in Towering Inferno, Ava Gardner in Earthquake and Lee Grant and Maidie Norman in Airport 77. Very upsetting that this happens.
That guy who is the col. Sanders looking type of guy was a tiny evangelist when he was a little child but got lured into fame other than Christianity and went by the wayside. Margo Gortner was his name. They would have him on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when he was a little Preacher.
Hey
I love this movie too ! Great actors with a great set up before the big event! Some of the characters very dislikable particularly Denise . Ava Garnder plays an old lush brilliantly! George Kennedy very good and of course Victoria Principal! Love those opening shots setting up the geography of Los Angles Excellent model and matte work too. Would choose this over san andres any day !
The one thing I learn from this movie, is never have a lit up cigarette in your mouth to turn off the gas inside the house. One spark can cause a explosion.
And like every disaster films, requires teamwork to get out of any situations
And also during earthquakes, never use the elevators
And also phosgene, it is a dangerous gas. Guess the phosgene has was used for halon to put out the fire
One whiff of that gas can kill a person by suffocating
lol - back in the day I also saw this in the cinema where the seats shook and the speakers had sensurround.
I see Earthquake Trailer when I was a kid 13 years old since 2014 and now I enjoy watching full movie on AMC Channel when I was a 16 year old teen since January 2017
In an Earthquake like that you would pull over because you would feel like you got a flat tire. I was never in a car, but that is what I have heard from those that were.
the ingenuity of the practical effects looked great and still holds up with the mate paintings .
a few goofs when people are leaving office building the doors have no glass . filmed on the universal lot .
biggest showcase was , " sensurround " us cinmeas only had 35mm sensurround while uk and i think maybe germany ? had 70mm six track sensurround .
i saw it 70mm six track sensuround 4 times that it played for half year .
the character , lew seemed like he wouldn't make and main two characters swept away at the end .
doctor: this used to be hell of town officer .
lew : yeah .
the music at the end wow .
after seeing in sensurround 4 times .
seeing again on laserdisc letterbox scope stereo matrix
dvd
bluray
maybe seen it again less than 100 times .
14:41 lol i would have ran out of that unstable house . guy standing there with bear and chicken (poor creature) then bam ! house collapses lol
16:18 jaw dropping scene of miles of utter devastation !
24:46 obviously . did they ever give that guy a psych evaluation ?
I was living in Hollywood, California and went to see this the day it came out and it showed a lot of damage to the area I was living in. Pretty eerie feeling walking out of the theater and seeing all the things that they destroyed in the film.
Marjoe and Victoria were actually dating while making this film. True!
People drown in elevators every dam day of the week🤦🏻♂️
I enjoyed your reaction but your volume is 10 times higher than the movie and that made it hard to really to hear.
I know, my older videos have some volume issues, sorry
It looked pretty lame....even back in '74' They pushed the idea of 'SENSURROUND' to get us sitting in theaters to see it. Horrible special effects.
