Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em (film)

Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em is a 1988 Australian short feature about an underground party held in post-apocalyptic Melbourne.

The film is a product of nuclear anxiety at the height of the Cold War, and is considered a cult classic today.

To their surprise, they are invited in by a large group of people somehow throwing a wild underground party with live rock bands and a massive supply of alcohol.

This 1988 raucous punk affair runs for a brisk 48 minutes, making good on the promise that once the bombs hit, you don’t have long to live, so you best have one heck of a time while you’re going out.

"[5] According to the Oz Movies website, the film is "certainly more fun than watching other Australian post-apocalyptic movies, such as John Duigan's dull, well-meaning One Night Stand, or the wretched On the Beach, which shares Melbourne as a location, but in the Stanley Kramer way offers not a shred of nihilistic, anarchistic, Swinburnian Melburnian humour.
