Outbreak (1995)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Wolfgang Petersen
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo
Factual error: The suits worn by dangerous disease researchers would definitely never tear if the hose was pulled.
Casey Schuler: How many brain cells did I kill?
Sam Daniels: How many? About a billion.
Casey Schuler: Oh, now I'm only as smart as you.
Sam Daniels: What can we give him to kill his sense of humor?
Trivia: The part of McClintock was originally played by Joe Don Baker, who was replaced by Donald Sutherland mid production.
Question: I never understood how, like in this movie, after they leave the lab of infectious viruses, does being sprayed down with hot water prevent them from being infected once they take the suit off. Can someone explain that to me?
Chosen answer: They would be sprayed with an antibacterial solution, and it is to prevent any contagion clinging to the outside of the suit from being transferred from one source to another while the protective gear is being handled.
