They likely used that as they didn't have to go anywhere (downtown) for that effect. <br />Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06310514687266402158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471313202388794085.post-78648532363849042012018-09-19T18:46:17.217-05:002018-09-19T18:46:17.217-05:00I enjoyed the movie Earthquake too.

However, what I couldn't figure out is when the quake started, why did they show a black 12 story building instead of the huge skyscrapers downtown when the quake started. If I am right, the black glass building was a reflection in a mirror that they shook from side to side am I right? And, wasn't that building near the studio where the movie was made?<br /><br />There were some really spectacular scenes in that movie such as when the cattle truck and cars went for a dive off of the elevated highway, and when the man fell through a glass roof. Then there's that elevator scene and let's not forget the church bell that came crashing down with all that concrete and such.<br /><br />There was a line in the movie that I distinctly remember when a man was looking upward at a highrise building with smoke coming out of it and he said, " We should have never built these 40 story monstrocities." Of course, 40 stories isn't a big thing now in Los Angeles because they have buildings much taller than that now, and more on the way.Donald Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670199405436263976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471313202388794085.post-79083940743362308582016-01-06T21:38:06.107-06:002016-01-06T21:38:06.107-06:00Earthquake was the summer of 74 Blockbuster.

We used to go to the dollar show many times over the summer that year just to sit in the back by the sensurround speakers it was great and remember the film by heart...It's one of my all time favorites and thanks to the people who run the fan sites on it....dan craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519152732275261449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7471313202388794085.post-22508453892121095372014-09-26T19:32:50.771-05:002014-09-26T19:32:50.771-05:00Thank you!
