Before getting into what Nostradamus and/or the film might have possibly gotten right, let's look at what it got wrong (which is basically everything).
The film was released in 1981, during a time when the U.S. and the Soviets were in the middle of a nuclear arms race, with both nations pointing nuclear warheads at each other and the specter of nuclear war hanging over the entire world. Needless to say, the film wouldn't be complete without a prediction of a nuclear war, and it provided one. This sequence (available via YouTube) supposedly predicts a that World War III would start in 1994, and that a nuclear attack would occur in 1999. Neither of those things happened.
In another sequence, the show's producers posit that an ancient prediction meant Edward "Ted" Kennedy would become president of the United States. Obviously, he did not, and since he died 13 years ago, he is not going to, either. A terrible earthquake was also predicted for May 1988, which also didn't come to pass.
