What's left behind the scenes

  • Flakes and tomato sauce were used as makeup to simulate third-degree burns.
  • While gathering material for the filming, director Mick Jackson and screenwriter Barry Hines spent a week at a specialized center where people were taught survival skills in the event of a nuclear conflict.
  • Scenes set six weeks after a nuclear exchange were filmed in the Peak District National Park. The weather was too good for a 'nuclear winter,' so artificial snow was scattered everywhere, and operators used filters to dim the sunlight.
  • When describing the psychological effect of nuclear war on survivors, Mick Jackson drew on knowledge gained from Magnus Clark's book 'The Destruction of Britain in a Nuclear War' (1982) and conversations with hibakusha (survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
  • The film features a Salvation Army brass band marching in a demonstration. This was not in the script. The band was returning from a performance and happened to be at the filming location. The director liked it and didn't stop filming.
  • The umbilical cord that Ruth has to bite through was made of licorice.
  • After the nuclear explosion, a cat is shown supposedly suffocating in the intense heat. In reality, the animal was given catnip, which has an intoxicating effect on cats.
  • Scenes set six weeks after a nuclear exchange were filmed in Peak District National Park. The weather was too good for a "nuclear winter", so artificial snow was spread everywhere, and the cinematographers used filters to dull the sunlight.
  • When describing the psychological effect of nuclear war on those who survived, Mick Jackson based his work on knowledge gleaned from Magnus Clarke's book "The Destruction of Britain in Nuclear War" (1982) and conversations with hibakusha (victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
