    • Trivia
      When Colton (Steve Guttenberg), Chris (Patrick Renna), and Pirate Jack (Ralph Garman) are driving in the pirate car, Jack exclaimed, "Owwww. They took out The Blue Oyster. I love that place." This was a reference to the infamous gay bar found in the Police Academy films.

    Me and my mentally challenged friend decided to watch Lavalantula. Now why did no one ever have the idea before to put spiders into lava, an excellent movie idea, this idea alone had me and my friend hooked. Now when one goes to LA, what do you expect? To go and gamble, have a weekend with your mates, even go and get mugged, BUT NOT IN THIS FILM!!!! This film presents to us a reality of which no one has ever imagined before, with multiple aspects of the film that will blow you away, and anyone else in a 10 mile radius. First of all, the fact there is a volcano under LA within the film makes this one that proves geology is a lie. AS people around the world know, movies such as these, which would have put hundreds of hours or research into the environment the film takes place in, they would know if there was a volcano under LA, or not. Without this information, the film would not be realistic, and with a movie of this standard, that simply isn't an option. Secondly, The movie portrays the motion that spiders have been evolving under our feet for potentially millions of years, waiting, for the right time, to claim their place on top of the food chain. If you thought my explanation about the rats in ratatouille was scary, you haven't read anything yet. These spiders can and will take over our world without hesitation. And finally, the final scene, a scene that you need to watch yourself. There are no words to explain what I saw in that scene. Only fear, fear for what is to come.

    I have placed my order of a underground bunker, i suggest you do the same.
