Roger Corman wanted to make an earthquake film so Brian Katkin wrote a take on Reservoir Dogs set during an earthquake. The movie was shot over twenty days on a budget of $500,000.[1]
The Schlock Pit said " you’d certainly be hard pressed to find something from this New Concorde era that’s this much fun."[1]
