Review of Juggernaut

Juggernaut (1974)
6/10
Breaks all 1970s disaster film rules
1 July 2021
All disaster films must have beautiful women in evening gowns. This IS an ocean liner isn't it? It must also have human stories so that you CARE about the passengers. It doesn't matter if the characters are compelling or obnoxious. Also, there must be one character that needs to be slapped. This film is more about men rushing to prevent a disaster, not characters EXERIENCING ONE.

Lastly, and most importantly, there must be camp comic relief. The closest this one comes is a creepy little boy that reminds you of Dodie from My Three Sons

It is worth a watch, but expect a tepid action film, not a disaster epic. Stella Stevens will not appear showing cleavage and Shelley Winters doesn't swim by and save everyone.
