5.0 out of 5 stars What's scary is: it can really happen!, July 19, 2007
By 
Jim Liftin "Jim" (Fort Wayne, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: City On Fire (VHS Tape)
It's amazing how few people realize that their actions due to powerful emotions can begin a chain of events that can ultimately paralyze a city. And that's what we have here. Head by top actors such as Henry Fonda and Leslie Nielson (before he bcame well-known as a comedic actor in "Airplane!") CITY ON FIRE is a disaster movie similar to Irwin Allen's 1977 TV-movie FIRE!. But instead of a forest fire started by a convict tossing a lighted cigarette onto old branches, an entire city is on fire -- hence the title -- started by a disgruntled oil company employee opening oil valves and dumping the oil into the city's water-line. And right in the middle of it all is a hospital in danger of being engulfed by the fire. Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over TOWERING INFERNO,you've just been burned!!!!!!!!, February 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: City On Fire (VHS Tape)
If you thought that Irwin Allen's "The Towering Inferno" was something,YOU HAVEN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET!!!!!!!!! Like the other
2 reviewers have already stated,what's so frightening and plausible
about the plot to this film is that IT CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN!When a
mentally-disturbed employee at an oil refinery decides to take his
vengeance out on an entire city in which the oil refinery is located,
move over Towering Inferno,because you've just been burned,as far as
special effects,scope,music,and incredible acting from a top-notch all-star cast!The cast includes: BARRY NEWMAN,SUSAN CLARK,SHELLEY WINTERS,AVA GARDNER,HENRY FONDA,LESLIE NIELSEN,AND JAMES FRANCISCUS to name a few!And considering this disaster movie didn't have near
the budget that Irwin Allen's did,just goes to show it doesn't
take millions of dollars to make a superior film in EVERY WAY!Also
be sure to check out the other disaster flick from the same people that made this one titled,"THE ACCIDENT",which is also available
on VHS!!!!!!!!
