Seinfeld Is Unfunny clean-up

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Considering how this was made in the 1970s, one can probably see it now and wonder why the hell modern conveniences we have today aren't being used. A lot of these "modern conveniences" for fire safety, such as sprinklers, were already common in the '70s, but the builders did skimp on them in the film to save money. Many cities tightened their building codes after the film came out to require sprinklers in all high-rise buildings. The elevator scene and several action stunts probably look incredibly corny. Heck, even the concept seems pretty stupid today.
** Though, there were a few comparisons made between this movie and real-life events when 9/11 occurred.
*** And as mentioned under Harsher in Hindsight, the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire turned into a real-life tragic example of what happens when a large structure with many people inside is constructed with questionable materials and catches fire.

Added DiffLines:
*** Still, Holden's red tux jacket, Wagner's bright blue, Vaughn's ruffled shirt, and especially Chamberlain's ''brown'' tuxedo completely date the film to the 70s. However, the color was probably added to make those characters stand out from the sea of black tuxedos worn by the extras.

loud, meaning the dissonance isn't as extreme as it might have been.
** The Glass Tower is said to be the tallest building in the world at 1,688 feet (515 m). While this would still be a very impressive height today, it would barely crack the top 10.
