Trivia

During filming, Styrofoam was used by the special effects crew to augment the 'snow effects' of the avalanche. As this was shot in the winter, it wasn't until the spring thaw that the town of Durango discovered that the Styrofoam was everywhere in town. By then the company was long gone. See more »

Worst Movie of All Time
18 May 1999 | by (Paris, France) – See all my reviews

Avalanche is, quite simply, the WORST movie I've ever seen.

The plot is dreadful, the script horrendous, the acting pathetic.

I remember quite clearly that the patterns on the wall of the cinema were more interesting to look at than this piece of trash.
