I love the part when the little kid checks out the bike ramp

He says, Wow and rides off. Just the way he said it had me cracking up.

There are a bunch of subtle jokes in this otherwise serious movie that I thought were hilarious. One of my favorites was the guy drinking a can of Coors and eating a chicken leg who waves to Genevieve Bujold just before his deck and house collapse and then you see him slowly somersault down the hill. Another one is where someone tells a guy with a cigarette in his mouth to go back inside the house and shut off the gas. Kaboom!

Yes and I'm sure the brat was sent to school, but just seems to head off riding anywhere, without actually going to school.🐭

Hello KingTrump,
I know this is a very old post - but in case you're still around here, one question please: The boy you mentioned, was that Josh Albee? The same actor who played in a "Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn" version which was made around the same time??
I haven't got "Earthquake" in my collection as yet and it's been a long time ago since the movie was on TV here (in Germany)... and the only place where I watched "Tom Sawyer etc." was on youtube, some years past. So I can't cross-check these two movies, for the moment...
Kind regards
