Re: Wednesday Open Thread (none / 0)

There was another film in there too, which involved a US ship and a russian sub and they ended up blowing each other up.

But wasn't "from the depths of hell, I stab at thee" Khan's line and not Picard's

The Final Countdown was the other film.

Not the worst Science Fiction film ever to ~~escape~~ be released. But it's up there.

Oh, yea, I know that, but there's a third film in there; the one I described.

the parachute torpedo and the explosion were scenes from that third film.

No, it's quite tightly plotted between a US warship and a russian sub. the US captain is a bit of an aggressive prick and as he ramps up the tension a nuclear tipped depth charge is fired so the russian fires back. Mutally assured destruction.

I think you're referring to The Bedford Incident with Richard Widmark and Sydney Poitier
