YMMV / City on Fire

Go To

The 1979 film:

  • Harsher in Hindsight: Arsons caused by a disgruntled worker sabotaging his factory became reality since Bhopal.
  • Special Effects Failure: The Chroma Key effects used to superimpose the image of the city skyline against the smoke-laden sky are rather dodgy.
  • Stock Footage Failure: The film uses some news footage of fire trucks and other rescue operations. As a result, some of the vehicles are obviously British and not American.
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously. Really, all of the leads. From Barry Newman to Henry Fonda, there's not a phoned in performance in the lot.
