| | Wichita Center for the Arts Video and DVD Rental: Earthquake (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | L.A. gets hit with the big one, and Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Genevieve Bujold, Richard Roundtree, Walter Matthau, Marjoe Gortner, and Victoria Principal are buried in rubble--just as they might be in real life! |
 | | Pauline Kael wrote, "the picture is swill, but it isn't a cheat; it's an entertaining marathon of Grade-A destruction effects, with B-picture stock characters spinning through it." (This film was originally released in "Sensurround," a gimmick in which the theater seats were wired up to shake somehow when the tremors start. |
 | | However, a far more ambitious stunt was attempted in the casting of Ava Gardner as Lorne Greene's daughter.) 123 minutes. |
