And Jerry Reed. A must see for any gun nut.

I am surprised it isn't as much of an arfcom staple as Heat and Red Dawn.

(in the middle of a shootout) "jack? timeout okay? youre not gonna believe this but i brought the wrong bullets"

It is FULL of great lines.

"You shot my gun, goddammit. You're not supposed to shoot a guy's gun. You know how much these things cost?"

If you watch it, hang with it. It starts a little slow.

THX 1138. Not so much SHTF as it is a portrayal of a disturbing dystopian future.

These are 80’s Cold War era. Threads is especially realistic and chilling.

I've maintained for years that Survivors should be the official movie of AR15.com

Survivors is excellent, if a little dated. (Picture a SHTF show with Dr. Who production values.)

It's literally the first thing he does after hearing that the bombs have dropped.

I've often said, some of the most dangerous people during SHTF will be parents with children.
Watch how fast a parent's morals go out the window when their kid is involved.
They might be willing to starve rather than steal to feed themselves.
However, they're going to be capable of anything when it comes to their kids.
Whatever you do, never eat a ham sandwich with your back to the parent of a hungry child.

Great movie about what not to do. Every time I watch it, I hope that a real man is going to come barging in, scoop up Elizabeth Shue, and claim her as his own.
