As a child I loved this film! I can vaguely remember going to see it at the cinema when I was eight and I have very fond memories of it. I saw it again a couple of years ago and was not so impressed, that said it’s still a fun film to watch.
A bit of an oddity it was originally intended to mimic the success of Raiders of the Lost Ark released in 1981. After the success of Back to the future the script was altered at a late stage to incorporate a time travel element. All of this goes some way to explain the final car crash of a film!
It does have some really good bits including Peter Cushing’s last performance, some great aerial scenes and an unusual soundtrack including Mötley Crüe and Deep Purple.
The film also makes for some interesting now and then comparisons as London has changed quite significantly in the thirty years since it was made.
“Strengthening tsunami and earthquake preparedness in the coastal areas of Pakistan”, is working to provide policy and operational support, at both the national and sub-national levels, through evidence-based research and analysis. The project also aims to enhance the resilience of coastal communities to coastal hazards in Sindh and Balochistan and expand their livelihood opportunities. It especially focuses on some of the most vulnerable coastal communities of Karachi West, Malir and District Gwadar.
The project is being implemented with the coordination and technical support of NDMA, Sindh and Balochistan PDMAs, through Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), NED University of Engineering and Technology and Pakistan Red Crescent Society.
