Great movie. I watched this at the theater back in 1984. It was this movie that got me instersted in the Philadelphia Experiment. Before this I never knew about it. - @Sunday, July 13, 2014 6:20 AM

It always bugged me that they apparently hadn't performed any sort of SMALL SCALE test before rigging up a fully manned destroyer with this gadget. That, and the hero doesn't lose his shit over a phone call costing a quarter, which would be a lot like us hearing an operator say "Please deposit 5 dollars for the next 2 minutes". - @Sunday, January 15, 2012 4:10 PM
