Bobby's shelter from Supernatural would've kicked the collective asses of all these shelters put together.

I cant look at bomb shelters anymore without thinking of that bloody awful film 'Blast form the Past'. Brendan bloody fraiser. What a crock of shit. That film may eventual be the deciding vote on weither I buy one or not. The irony is.....when the nukes drop and everyone gets zombified. Brendan Fraiser will be eating my throat. Bloody great!!

I would rather eat a bullet than live a few years in those tiny bunkers only to emerge back into a world full of mutant zombies and human/cyborg hybrid infiltrators.

And McG movies. I would eat a bullet before seeing another McG movie too.

Probably shouldn't have told me where all these awesome zombie bunkers are. When the zombies come, I'm heading straight to one of these places. (Maybe not the one with all the Jesuses.)

@PrairieGirl: however if the zombies ever make it into the bunker with the jesuses maybe they will spare you thinking you would worship them as some kind of god.

Jail cells in a shelter...what the ...? Why not just toss your prisoners out and let the fallout take care of them? The fewer the people inside, the longer your supplies last. Unless Kung intended the cells for uncooperative ..companions, shall we say?

@iCurmudgeon: True, but if you're already nearing the end of the of your supplies then prisoners could be used as . . . um . . . back up.

Does Kung's contain ANYTHING nice at all? We have jail cells and a creepy looking operating theater. Really, the thought occurs that being left outside might not be ALL bad ...

@hamshank: Well, if I needed to get a coronary valve replacement during WWIII, I sure would prefere the operating theatre to the totally functional arcade...wouldn't I? Also if someone goes batshit insane everyone would apreciate a place to lock him down for a while...

@MyNameIsTooAwesome: of course, of course - I'd just like some reassurance that Kung's not ALL about the scary stuff. I mean, can we see the tv lounge and maybe a jacuzzi? Not that I have an open invite to his place anyway, but it's good to know, when you're banging on a hatch as radioactive snowflakes settle in your hair, that it's not one belonging to a crazy man...

Now here would be an interesting premise for a tv show. Start out in a public shelter right after some massive disaster or attack. If done well it would be an interesting study of the human mind.

@LittleDragon: Kind of a fictional version of that one reality show on Discovery?

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I assume it would have to be fiction unless there has been some massive nuclear event that has killed off a majority of humanity and left the surface of the world almost uninhabitable and no one told me.

@LittleDragon: Well, the Discovery Channel has a reality show (I think it's called The Colony?) where the premise is that something wiped off the majority of civilization and a group of people have to work together to form a colony by scavenging equipment and subsistence farming.

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: I like that show, actually. It's a good premise. I know the VO says the "vandals" can't attack the colonists, but I wonder if the colonists have the same restriction.

@LittleDragon: So your show is a crowd of people locked in a single room with no way out?

Wow... you've really got your finger on the pulse of what makes television great.

@Pope John Peeps II: You may not find it interesting but I would find it interesting to watch people struggle with the knowledge that they were cut off from other people, struggle with things like children, family, interpersonal relationships, supplies, health with the knowledge that there is no one there to help them and there is a very small space. I mean seriously, how would you react if you were locked in one of those bomb shelters with a group of people you didn't know very well with the knowledge that that shelter was all there was to your world? I think that is an interesting question.

Why did Kung's shelter include Jail cells?

I can't think of a single situation, post-apocalypse, where frontier justice isn't justified.

@NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: Well where else would you keep cannibalistic mutants?

Wait, I just thought of another solution. Thank you, Fallout.

@CmdrHunt (aka Clarence Colton): the other solution being asking them to stop moving for a while so you can rummage through your backpack, equip and load a weapon, then fire several shots into their head in slow motion?

Oh my god... I actually saw this movie on Creature Double Feature as a kid.. I thought the drilling machine was cool - and even then I knew the suicidal scientist was a douche.
