A nuclear weapon?

Anyone have a problem with the fact that a nuclear weapon just goes off not far from Florida and everyone is happy and cheerful when they should be peeling off their skin because of radiation. This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen in a movie: the middle aged father who saves America from nuclear holocaust in order to gain the admiration of his rebellious son. Gimme a fuc kin break. The rest of the movie is hilarious though. A Snatch rip-off but hilarious.

A Snatch rip-off? Let's see... Big Trouble was based on a book (and followed the book almost exactly) that came out in 1999. Snatch came out in 2000. Do the math.

As CJ from San Andreas would say:"What fuc|/ing book?". 2000-1999=1. Does that mean it's not a Snatch rip-off?

Hell, no it's not a Snatch ripoff. If you've heard of the columnist Dave Barry, you'd know that Big Trouble was his first fiction novel. Up to then he had published books, each of which contained his newspaper columns.

um, yes, since 2000-1999=1, it means that Big Trouble cannot be a Snatch ripoff. Because Big Trouble (the novel) came out before Snatch... are you being serious??
