Vulcan Explains Thermonuclear War 

Oh, we cater to all sorts here. You'll be surprised.

Oh yes he is " it's a diamond!".. Class movie and Peter Reid.

Oscar Wilde dated a teenage boy when Oscar was in his adult years. Let's not quote bad people mkay?

@Richard B a person has one character flaw you dont like, and that makes him a bad person? rather juvenile take imo.

@@richardb8104at that time in England, the age of consent was twelve, so that would be like a fifty year old dating a twenty-five year old.

I don’t share your sexual ethics, therefore your argument about war is invalid.

@@richardb8104 This is where you might fall into the scheme of the bad guy, know your enemy before going into war with them.

So that's not his regular accent?

I came here looking for that very scene. made me spit my drink out laughing.

@@williamshaw9047 no, not all all. His real accent is posh/queens English

As this is my favorite Oliver Reed moment I am impressed with the connection you’ve made regarding his accent and Vulcan. It makes sense. I’m a Yankee and I use a old Sheffield blade to spread Marmite with deliberacy.

A EUNICH'S LIFE IS HAAAAAARRRRRRRD..... AND NOTHING ELSE.

@John Smith I disagree, the marketing matter was a real thing in this movie.

TO be honest @jackal59, @Jonn Smith and @Blitz R have a point on each corner of the problem, (if we try to put the problem as a geometric figure... the problem is what kind of figure should be), Terry Gilliam is that kind of persons that should become a writer, instead of a movie maker, cause the creativity and exaggeration of every literary resource used on their movies is spectacular, I compare him a little with Ralph Bakshi on its animation movies or even in the python style (remember gilliam worked in the python crew), to be honest in my own opinion his way to express the idea its so wonderful and tearfully that can rebuild the heart of a human being on the correct eyes, but remember that being artistic its not enough in the film INDUSTRY, where the earnings is the key to "Success", and of course a movie that gets only cult fanatics is not always considered a success, only the time will say who was right...

@@damianmoctezumaenriquez9018 - Well put, I must say. The curse of genius, is that it will outlive everyone...cultists and critics...

@John Smith Trash? This movie is great.

@@damianmoctezumaenriquez9018 Every Terry Gilliam Movie is 2/3rds of the greatest movie ever made.

I can see your point of view, but Reed brought a underlying menace to the role which Blessed could never produce. Reed could strike fear into anybody with that stare.

I knew her at the time as the title role in the Ramona Quimby miniseries.

what does that even mean?

@@pyromaniac709he means “we will accommodate your fetish, no matter how degenerate; we are not judgmental so long as your check clears.”

@@pyromaniac709 Vulcan is recognizing that Berthold is a war fighter who doesn't want fighting to be done by ICBMs, so he's reassuring Berthold that Vulcan's workshop will provide him with means to wage war in his preferred way. He's also implying at the same time that the ICBM is popular with all kinds of people, even those you wouldn't expect. Its an indictment of humanity that such weapons would be made and be so popular, even if they remove the "fun" from war by making atrocity so convenient.

The foundry exists UNDER the Pentagon!

Of course the pentagon knows. The CIA exists to be the liaison.

I think it was more alluding to the idea that nuclear weapons are utter fantasy.

They're in a volcano in that scene: Vulcan's workshop.

The book was written centuries before they knew about nuclear power.
