Armageddon - Das jüngste Gericht

NASA shows this film during their management training program. New managers are given the task of trying to spot as many errors as possible. At least 168 have been found.

It's explained in detail how the impact will cause a horrible freak tide, what it will do, and that one half of mankind will die in the nuclear winter. That's absolutely irrelevant. The asteroid has a diameter "the size of Texas," which means a volume of about 180 million cubic miles. Such an impact is called ELE (Extinction Level Event). A bigger part of the Pacific Ocean would evaporate immediately, so no matter if a wave or not. The earth would become "sterilized." So no life form will live long enough to die in a winter. (So it is nonsensical to compare that impact with the event 65 million years ago. It's much different).

Portions of the video of Grace Stamper and A.J. Frost's wedding are shown during the final credits.

Criterion's two-DVDs version features the longer director's cut with added dialogue and footage, including a scene between Harry Stamper and his father (played by Lawrence Tierney.) A second DVD with supplemental material is included, with additional deleted scenes, outtakes and bloopers.
