    • Trivia
      Toward the end of his life, Paul Newman confessed in interviews that this was the only film that he ever made entirely for the money. He called it "that volcano movie" and said that he and most of the cast knew right away it would be a flop from day one. Many people believe that part of his salary from this film was used as seed money for a salad dressing business he was setting up with A.E. Hotchner, with 100% of the profits, after taxes, going to educational and charitable organizations. As of 2022 Newman's Own, the company that Newman established in 1982, has raised over $550 million for charities all over the world, and continues to grow and prosper.

      An oil rig drilling into the side of a volcano triggers the eruption. Oil fields are not found on or near active volcanoes; there is not enough time between eruptions for any petroleum products to form or be deposited.

    Put this together with "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure", and you have a side-splitting laugh-a-thon!! LOL
    Another funny film by Irwin Allen. This one is a hoot to watch. I really like the blue screen effect whenever the lava is shown--lol. If it has Shelia Matthews in the cast, you can be sure that it is going to be a funny film, especially if it is a drama. The ending with the volcano is hilarious--I did not know that volcanos could shoot a fireball that far away and still hit the target head-on!! Impressive. Sort of like scenes from "Bird of Paradise" meets "Diamond Head" were taken and spliced together and then had a few more ingredients added. All that was missing was the sacrificial virgin--but then, maybe that is why the volcano exploded--LOL. Not a movie to be missed for laughs!!
