The scene where everyone is covered in ash and some little dipshit points out that the racially diverse crowd now all look the same epitomises the retarded crapfest that is Volcano.

Let's see, grizzled veteran actor in it for the paycheck, annoyingly precocious teen daughter, some guy jumping into lava and screaming "BLAARGHHARGHAARG!!"... yep, this film's a winner.

Looking through the reviews, it becomes apparent to me that I have the best possible recollection of this movie, seeing as I only remember that greatest of all taglines: The Coast is Toast.

That scene where the fat subway worker melts after his triumphant leap of 3 feet. MASTERFUL.

Hollywood just needed to be sure to be thorough with thedisaster movie kick of the late 90's. I've seen better volcano movies go straight to video.

Is it really too much to ask for that at least ONE SINGLE PERSON on the production staff have even the slightest idea of how a volcanic eruption actually behaves? Apparently so, and as a result every single part of this movie is beyond stupid and well into the realm of hilariously unscientific.

Turn your brain off if you ever want to watch this. It also features probably the most annoying and worthless teenage daughter character possible. She exists just to be utterly incapable of helping herself so her dad and other people have to.

Hot off the heels of Twister comes another extremely unbelievable film about an eco-disaster. This time it's about volcano and the "smart people" that love them. Love them enough to save humanity. Good thing Tommy Lee Jones was around otherwise Los Angeles might have been in trouble.

Has no story. It instead just lets the lava run wild.

This movie is very bizarre, a concept so bad. One of the worst disaster movie made ever.

For those in LA not familiar with what a volcano is, you might want also Google: wind, rain, snow and drought. Remember, preparedness is the best defense. That, and at the first sign of danger, drop off your teenage daughter at a movie and swing by to pick up some city employee named Stan.

Holy SHIT the slow moving Lava's coming, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! Seriously this film has a premise as stupid as 'Day After Tomorrow' and the same slow overly exaggerated retarded threat (except hot in this case). Tommy Lee Jones' talents are put to good use though. And Anne Heche is just...awful.

Really, who's driven in L.A. and DOESN'T fantasize about seeing it buried in lava?

in which the day is saved by a bunch of jersey barriers, and in which a guy dies hilariously in a subway car

Lava! You know you made a bad movie, when Dante's Peak looks like the Towering Inferno in comparison. There are some unintentionally hilarious parts though, so worth watching for that.
