Did Anyone See The Movie "Dr. Strangelove" (1964) directed by Stanley Kubrick?

[The Stone Pilot]

For me this movie became a huge revelation about the inspirations of developers of "Fallout" game series.
In fact, it looks like every "Fallout" game is the interesting variation of the sequel for "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb". There's no any real sequels in the cinema world, but we have some kind of continuation in the virtuality. And that's really great, I want to suppose!
Just wanted to know, how many of you, Sole Survivors, also find this fact amazing.

Thank you! :)

the video game "Wasteland"..

There are a lot of elements of Wasteland in Fallout... Fallout 1 is basically as close to Wasteland 2 as the developers could get away with without blatantly breaking copyright...

You could easly make that connection, and a connection to Blade Runner, and "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov, and well the video game "Wasteland"..

Do you really know the FIRST Wasteland game?

Erh, not that well but uh..

There's more than a connection between the FIRST Wasteland and the Fallout franchise. There is descendance. Everything Fallout is, is from Wasteland.

Well yes that's what I'm saying it's a spiritual successor

Maybe not everything (I don't recall Wasteland having the 50s retrofuture aesthetic, for instance), but yes, most of what makes Fallout Fallout was... inspired, to say the least, by Wasteland.

It's just... there are some old players who had their first gaming experience with Wasteland and...

Well, that's it.

They chose the narrator perfectly for the SPECIAL promo videos... :D

[SIlverblade-T-E]

the attitudes, way they are ridiculously dramatized etc, gives part of the background "feel" of Fallout

Rand Coporation was mentioned in a post before. They are the real life Vault-Tec.
RAND Corporation strategist Herman Kahn is the real life equivalent of Dr. Strangelove.
Peter Sellers character Dr. Stragenlove even mentions RAND in a scene but in the film they are named "BLAND Corporation"
Herman Kahn was quoted so much in the film that he acctually demanded royalties but he never got any.

RAND was acctually looking in to building "vaults" so that US-citizen could survive a total nuclear war. Herman Kahn was convinced that the people would endure even though they would be ravaged by radiation and mutation.
He also worked on the concept of a Doomsday Device as a deterrent and "Final Solution"

RAND Corporation is a non profit organisation that works for the good of mankind....
If you belive that then I have a bridge to sell you.

yeah their arrogance and sheer inhumanity has been mentioned/used in other fiction as well
like "THE BIG ONE" novel as I'm sure they are the basis for the "Targeteers" (forget right name in the book), the tech nerds who set up the huge A-bomb pattern that wipes Germany out in an alternative history of WW2

Fallout references the film in the form of the "Atomic Wrangler" with the cowbow referencing a certain moment from the movie.

You could just as well say that FO was a successor to a half dozen different media franchises, from Mad Max to Dr Who, then.
