Australian bomb shelter

Closed space, bunk beds, water, food supplies, but no toilet. 

Good thinking, Freddy.

When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.

It wouldn't have saved them anyway so consideration for the dunny probably wouldn't have been a thought I am guessing, or the most likely the set builders forgot :D

Obviously, they stood no chance, but I'd liked to have seen them test their "we could live down here for a year"-theory once the poop starts piling up.

If the blast would really reach "thousands of kilometers deep", even the deepest nuclear shelter, intended for the 1% of the 1%, would be totally useless.

So true! and it still wasn't deep enough!

Who said there wasn't a toilet in the bunker? Watch the movie again and you will find that not every part of the bunker was shown in that scene.

Good thinking, Demarates.

Where did it say the blast could hit thousands of miles deep? I must have missed that. Doesnt seem right to me. After all, its not a "solid" thing. It's a fireball. Fire needs oxygen to continue.

It wasn't the blast itslef, it was the heat... The heat would incinerate everything miles deep.

Apparently none got it right... The atmosphere got lit on fire because of the meteorite impacts... The sheer heat of the whole atmosphere burning down would be enough to erradicate everything on earth's surface...

What we see at the end is the "wave" or the path of the atmosphere being set ablaze... it wasn't a nuclear blast or a tsunami...

Anyways, there wouldn't be any air left to breath (no food, and probably no wáter) even if someone managed to survive.

James tells his nutty girlfriend that they'd need to be "thousands and thousands of kilometres" below the surface. Bear in mind that the Earth's crust is only about fifty kilometres thick, and going down "thousands and thousands" would put you somewhere in the mantle, where a firestorm on the surface would be the least of your problems.

On the other hand, I don't think our Jimmy was supposed to be a science major.

Check again, veggie. It was a small, rectangular and pretty empty space. There were beds, shelves and a ladder.

No doors and no sign of a toilet.

I agree with the poster below that Freddy knew on some level that they stood no chance, but the girl obviously did not think things through very much.

I wonder if Freddy actually knew the bunker wouldn't help them survive. Because when James told Vicki that it was useless, Freddy didn't call him a liar, instead he called him a killjoy.

What are you? Some kind of sex wiccan?

...Freddy didn't call him a liar, instead he called him a killjoy.

 That struck me as a odd thing for him to say, too. I think he just wanted to move the party indoors.

I make some people cry. 
