Summary: Thief was just a dream. Distant thunder is much, much worse
Review: Finding that her first film was only a dream, Patty is now in the role of story-teller to an encampment of other detainees. Patty's world collapses, so she seeks advice from her christian Granny, who happened to be an ecshetologist (naturally.) Well, guess what? Bye bye Granny. Patty invites her girlfriends, Wendi and her sister, Sandi, to share Granny's house, safely out in the country.

In terms of how things went, the ladies try to survive as, one by one, biblical prophecies come true. Though global changes are mostly discussed, not seen (most likely due to small budgets), the effects are still dangerous.

The story takes a turn for the worst when Wendi becomes a christian. She is an interesting character until then, but then her strength dispels and she becomes a bible-thumper whose major job is to argue with the rightfully disgusted Patty.

Summary: Uh-oh!! Patty's Back!!!
Review: Grab your soup can curlers and hip huggers! Iron your hair and get your bibles cuz it's time for Patty to whine some more for an entire film!! It's A DISTANT THUNDER
Terminal 70's chick Patty has even more problems this time around. A larger budget and a better shot film...causes the audience to see flawlessly the 70's style paranoia that Patty Dunning so effortlessly attains. She is like Jan from the BRADY BUNCH gone completely berserk. And boy can she whine!!
Why Patty even whines through an earthquake!
Of course lets not forget Jerry and Dianne. The sleaziest people ever to come out of the seventies. I mean Jerry looks like he should be in a leather bar and Dianne looks like some drug dealers moll. Watch as they somehow convince Patty to trust them. I'm sure you'll agree that Patty must be missing something or maybe she is blind.
Patty for the most part whines to her two new girlfriends...who are both incredibly banal. I just can't imagine what planet they come from.
Patty in the end is betrayed and heads off to get her head lopped off. And the end is truly one of the most disturbing in all of exploitation history.
This movies ROCKS. Does anyone have Jerry's number though? I want to take him out to the local leather bar.

Summary: Patty is 2 cool for skewl!
Review: I recently purchased and viewed the "prophecy 4 pack" all 4 of the Mark IV prophecy films. I have to say that that without Patty, i lost interest. Sure, she's an indecisive screamer, whiner, etc...but she's so good at it! Run, Patty, Run! And what happened to the Fishmarket Combo??? I want their Album!!! A Distant thunder is by far my fave of the 4 films. (say that 5 times fast). But Wenda and sandy are great! the end was a huge surprise..Jerry and Diane are just the most, to say the least. "Thief" & "Thunder" are both pretty campy, but that's why i like them the best. i would recommend them both to friends and what my friends don't know is that they will be subjected to patty the next time they visit whether they like it or not..it's good stuff!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's old but cool
Review: I saw this when I was a kid and I admit it was disturbing, but not as disturbing as when my mother bawled me out for putting a cabbage patch kid stamp on my sister's hand when we played store, a seven year old just doesn't need to hear about the mark of the beast that way.
