* ArtisticLicenseGeology: Gilmore, while attempting to convince people,of the volcano's danger, says what made Mount Pelee's eruption so deadly was the explosive eruption sucking all the oxygen from the air. What actually made the eruption so deadly was the pryoclastic flow of gas and volcanic debris. When it hit, the entire town of Saint Pierre was destroyed in minutes. Out of the 29'000+ inhabitants of the town, there were only ''two'' survivors.
** The earthquake resulting from the volcanic eruption causes a tsunami which destroys an entire town on the same island. This would only be possible if the island was in a U-shape and even then, the waves wouldn't get nearly big enough to destroy buildings. Flooding, structural damage and cars moved around, certainly, but not an entire town wiped off the map.

'''''When Time Ran Out...''''' is a disaster film notable for marking the end of IrwinAllen's theatrical career (though he only produced the film; it was directed by James Goldstone), and arguably marking the end of the golden era for 70's disaster movies.

Mildly based on the novel, ''The Day the World Ended'', the film can essentially be described as ''Film/DantesPeak'' meets a soap opera, and, in the established Irwin Allen formula, follows a group of famous celebrities as they try to escape a catastrophe of some kind (in this case, an erupting volcano), while working out an incredibly complex web of emotional infidelity, leaving behind those who didn't listen to their warnings of imminent disaster, and having an old person with a special talent that will save the day. Oh yeah, and there's also a [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking guy attempting to win cockfights with his prized rooster]].
