Average Rating: 
Rating:  - American version, American humor
This is an American version of a well-remembered British TV show. Featuring Loretta Swit(M*A*S*H) as US President and Peter Cook (Beyond the Fringe, Bedazzled, The Wrong Box) as UK Prime Minister, the tone is more moderate than the UK version, which I also have. Still, there are enough moments of out-and-out hilarity to justify it. I laughed out loud many times while watching this pic, which I did NOT do during the UK version.
Highlights include Michael Richards (Seinfeld's "Kramer")as ... Read More
Rating:  - A so-so reminder of the TV series
As I remember it, 'Whoops Apocalypse!' was a fun Sunday-night TV comedy series screened on the UK commercial channel in the mid-1980s.

From what I recall this movie is a great coming together of boisterous physical (and scatological) American humour and whimsical British whit. Also there's the added gem that Michael Richards, as the terrorist (Nebakanezzar?) is brilliant. Roles like this and ... Read More
Rating: - Its as funny as the title sounds!
I only saw this because I caught it on t.v. one night. It was on, so I decided to record it. When I watched it the next day, I really enjoyed it. It is basically a complete mockery of the english, americans and most of the world. It focuses mainly on the attempts of a terrorist who uses unconventional methods to conceal a kidnapping of a member of the british royal family. Also, the Prime Minister of Britan is completely stark raving mad, his fellow ministers tryed to get him killed, but the attempt ... Read More
