Whoops Apocalypse
Whoops Apocalypse is a 1986 British comedy film directed by Tom Bussmann and starring Loretta Swit, Herbert Lom, and Peter Cook. The film shares the same title as the TV series Whoops Apocalypse, but uses an almost completely different plot from the series.
Plot
A small British colony is invaded by its neighbour, the country of Maguadora, under dictator General Mosquera. As President of the United States Barbara Adams attempts to assist, the peace talks are sabotaged by the world's leading terrorist, Lacrobat. Conservative British Prime Minister Sir Mortimer Chris sends a task force to recapture the islands. Mosquera hires Lacrobat to kidnap British Princess Wendy, holding her ransom for British withdrawal. Sir Mortimer threatens a nuclear strike unless she is returned within 48 hours. President Adams not only has to deal with Mosquera and Lacrobat, but also Sir Mortimer, and with the fact that Mosquera aligns himself with Russia, and the whole thing could start World War III.
