Tremors (1990)

Corrected entry: The radio that was taken up onto the roof was not battery powered and should not have continued working because it was no longer plugged into an electrical outlet.

Correction: Not necessarily. It is possible it is battery powered. I have had many radios this large in the past that have both battery and AC power.

Correction: The original post is correct. For a radio that size to be effective it would need to be attached to a DC car battery or converted to AC for a household plug. In any case this is a movie error.

A radio like that can run on 6 D cells. Trust me, I've owned enough radios to know better. At this point this mistake is semantics.
