A small British colony is invaded by its Communist neighbour. Newly elected female President of the United States, Barbara Adams, tried to sort out the mess but the British under the leader of PM Sir Mortimer Chris sends in a task force to seize the islands back. For revenge, General Mosquera, leader of the Communist country, hires the best terrorist in the world, Lacrobat, to kidnap the British princess Wendy to hold her to ransom to get the British out. So now Barbara has not only got to deal with Mosquera and Lacrobat, she has also to deal with Sir Mortimer, who totally goes mad and thinks up really stupid ideas (such as pushing the unemployed over a cliff and that the entire employment problem is caused by evil pixies.) but also with the fact that Russia is looking to aid the Communist country and this could start World War III...
Leave your thoughts about Whoops Apocalypse.
| User ReviewRonnie BPossibly the most under-rated comedy ever made. People rave about the TV series, but this was every bit as funny. |
| User ReviewMad MMust be seen. Rik Mayle, Peter Cook, and her out of MASH are totally brillent. Look out for the whistleing condoms. |
| User ReviewSteve JDamn this is a funny film,I bust a gut laughing so much!!Rik Mayalls mad S.A.S. captain and Ian Richardsons gay naval commander alone are worth watching this film for. Plus a completely bonkers Peter Cook as the British Prime Minister throwing the employed off the White cliffs of Dover to create more jobs is genius. The whole Falklands war piss take is fantastic. Plenty of great sight gags and great jokes. From the Comic Strip Presents.. films style (British comedy film series) with a great cast, taking the Micheal out of the insanity of war. This is not a subtle comedy film..It is a fist in your face comedy film that rocks!!! |
| User ReviewRichard JPretty funny film, to watch, a little bit like monty python and the naked gun, silly jokes |
| User ReviewLinus LA decent undiscovered gem of political satire. |
| User ReviewIan NSatire and silliness for everyone! If you liked "Dr. Strangelove"...you might hate this. But see it anyway! |
| User ReviewJeremy NA zany and very vulgar comedy with quite a distiguished cast and some funny moments. |
| User ReviewStuart KThe original TV series of Whoops Apocalypse done in 1982 for London Weekend Television was a big cult success, and 4 years later, writers Andrew Marshall and David Renwick got offered to do a big screen version, though it grew out of an abandoned American version, and there is a big American influence on this one, even if it is British. It isn't as contained as the original series, but some of it works. Santa Maya is a small British colony in Central America, but when it's invaded by neighbouring Maguadora, led by General Mosquera (Herbert Lom) who have ties with the Soviets, the President of the United States, Barbara Adams (Loretta Swit) and British Prime Minister Sir Mortimer Chris (Peter Cook) try to find a way to sort the matter out, but the peace talks are sabotaged by Lacrobat (Michael Richards), the world's most notorious terrorist. A British task force are able to get the islands back, but in retaliation, Mosquera kidnaps the British Princess Wendy (Joanne Pearce), who was on the British Navy ship sent to Santa Maya, ran by Admiral Bendish (Ian Richardson). It's an obvious parody of what was going on in the Falklands, and it depends on surreal gags and silly names and wordplay, but along with the TV series, it feels quite relevant now. But, it has a good supporting cast including Richard Wilson, Graeme Garden, Ian McNeice, Alexei Sayle and Rik Mayall, (who naturally steals the film!!) |
| User ReviewPrivate UDamn this was a bad movie. very airplanesque*. It has michael richards doing a very bad "black-face" which I'm surprised never came out during the whole racist thing. see it if you don't have to pay and want to see something really bad. *the word Airplanesque is copyright vincenzo L 2007 |
| User ReviewGeorge WShould have been called "Carry on Armageddon" . The "New Wave" of alternative comedy that surfaced in the eighties wasn't alternative. It was a carefully scripted take over by a media savvy generation. First order of business was to discredit all that had passed before as racist and sexist. It then presented itself as a politically correct alternative. This is its take on the absurdity of "Mutually Assured Destruction". There is nothing new here, it fails to even be funny. Its just a tired series of smug sketches all loosely woven around a central and tired plot line. Satire, or any other for of comedy for that must be funny. There isnt a single genuine laugh in this whole smug, self-righteous, leaden polemic. The only alternative here is not to watch it, I wish I hadn't. |
