Blast from the Past (1999)

Edit this Page
Hugh Wilson Director previously directed The First Wives Club

Brendan Fraser plays a man trapped underground in a nuclear fallout shelter since the 1950s, who ventures out into the world 35 years later, only to find things just a little bit different.

Trivia:

When Mr Webber first goes back up after 35 years he meets a transvestite prostitute who says to him "Like the song says, a country boy can survive". The song he was referring to was "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr.

Quote: Adam Webber

Oh my lucky stars! A Negro!
