- gstep, on 07/04/2008, -0/+34Final Destination 2
At the end of the movie a guy is killed by an exploding CHARCOAL grill. - thefangedrabbit, on 07/04/2008, -1/+32Pretty sure that the Bond explosion, although ridiculous, isn't more ridiculous than some on the ones below it on the list.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -6/+37Ok really? First of all, Van Helsing was a sweet movie. Don't be a hater just because they modified the story from a book's. The automatic crossbow was badass.
The Carriage obviously had some sort of explosive in it. That's what the stakes were wrapped around, moron. You actually think they wanted us to believe they put stakes in the carriage hoping they would eat it? or poke themselves with it? We're not that dumb. There was definitely dynamite or something in there. - AsSubtleAsABrik, on 07/04/2008, -1/+26The shark exploding in Jaws 3-D is infinitely more ridiculous than that one.

Dugg for the idea of a new upcoming video game - CarStan, on 07/04/2008, -1/+22Like Michael Bay would say:
Awesome Wagon.
Awesome Shark.
Awesome Car.
Awesome Jet Skis. - benborgs, on 07/04/2008, -1/+21I can't believe this is missing the exploding shark from the 70's Batman movie. Shark grabs onto Batman's leg when he's on a ladder so Batman uses shark repellent (of course) so make it let go. The shark falls, and explodes when it hit's the water....
- JD52, on 07/04/2008, -0/+14Where is "The Last Boy Scout"? The car lands in the pool.... then explodes.
- AlexanderZero, on 07/04/2008, -0/+14They ought to have included the exploding taxi from Total Recall. Apparently in the future you will be driven around by automated taxis with robot drivers, but when you leave without paying they will attempt to run you down, only to explode when colliding with walls at 15 mph.
- amanilaenvelope, on 07/04/2008, -7/+21Im surprised there wasn't any mention of micheal bay in this.
- shawnanigans, on 07/04/2008, -2/+14I call shenenigans, author says that people wouldn't ride jet skis if they were basically torpedoes you could ride. I would totally ride a torpedo.
- urgeigh, on 07/04/2008, -1/+13Yeah.. it's been a while since I've seen it but I'm pretty sure they did show them put some explsoives in the carriage.
- Slade605, on 07/04/2008, -1/+13Charcoal grills could be a leading cause of death in the US.
- ThePwnyExpress, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11maybe i'm a bias bond fan, but i think there are much more unrealistic hollywood explosions than that one.
- elcaminos, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10I mean come on, they're in a third world country to begin with so it's not like their gas bottles are going to be the highest quality. Most people working with that equipment know they're supposed to be chained so they can't even tip over, and these bottles fell several floors, plus his torch was lit to begin with. I say totally believable.
- egoideal, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9An unexploded bomb causing a huge explosion is ridiculous?
- danharlow, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8I thought I was a hater because the movie sucked all on its own.
- ferrell, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8I see what uuiU did there.
- HappyScrappy, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8Agreed. It's clear the stakes were supposed to be some kind of fragmentation/pipe-style bomb. He put explosives in there, with stakes around it.
- 1longtime, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8Ah, the debut of the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray... which clearly causes sharks to explode.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=1jg2okfrmR4 - codecollision, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8For the bond explosion (#2), the author could have searched for 1 minute on google and found that acetylene used in oxyacetylene gas welding is extremely explosive. What a joke.
Acetylene cylinder explosion:
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg327.pdf - nynety, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6The windows didn't blow up. I think maybe they were getting attracted to the thingamajig, or something. I don't remember how the windows broke but I do remember all metal objects getting pulled into the sun thing.
- egoideal, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6The windows were supported by metal. Metal went toward big shiny sun thing. Glass came along for ride.
- HappyScrappy, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6This list jumps the shark with the shark. That one is completely over the top. The 3rd one is more silly, but it's clearly intentional. And the top 2 aren't even in the same league as the other 3.
- urgeigh, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7I think if put to it, I could have made a much better list of shoddy movie explosions than this douche, buried.
- norman619, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6Easily pleased aren't you?
- HubrisDeadPan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5The claymore was planted near a bomb from ww2 that the english dropped. It was introducted and pointed out in the movie, did you not watch it? A small explosion next to a bomb, I would think sets off a bigger explosion. And the blast wasn't the size of a nuclear type, but just a type you'd expect from those ww2 bombs. It's not a stretch, and you need to actually pay attention when watching a movie.
- Neiby, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6Explosion or not, the opening parkour scene in Casino Royale is freaking awesome.
- Acglaphotis, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5uuiU won't fool me.
- Nidy1, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I love that episode!
- passedoutghost, on 07/05/2008, -0/+4Kate Beckinsale was hot in that movie.
- pitchblack16, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4lol, exploding jaws, how the hell do you explain that one
- norman619, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Tidu:
Giving characters strange abilities is one thing but getting basic physics completely wrong just for the cool factor is sad. At least I hope it's just for the cool factor and not that the writers are truly that ignorant or too lazy to do a little research. In the comics they didn't have Peter Parker shooting webbing from his wrists. The actually created the "web shooters" he wore on his wrists. The webbing was not coming from his body. Remember the kid was supposed to be a science whiz. Why they couldn't just keep that instead of having him shoot webs from his wrists I will never understand. - coldfusion1970, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Because its all about the content, stupid.
- dicroce, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3They forgot my favorite: The car that jumps into the swimming pool in "The Last Boyscout" that explodes.
- Memitim, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Much more cost-effective than just eating the loss.
- Acglaphotis, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3People digg it up. It seems that the people that digg it up are more than the people who bury it, thus front-page.
- Wadajoobadude, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4They forgot the exploding shark from Batman.
- MechanicalZack, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Or Family Guy when the Horse explodes.
- codecollision, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Hey maybe you should do some research.
From the pdf above:
"Acetylene cylinder explosion
An operator was lighting an oxy/acetylene cutting torch. There was a flashback
to the acetylene cylinder, which started to vibrate. Three minutes later the
cylinder exploded. The cylinder split into two parts. The largest part shot
through a window and travelled 23 metres before embedding itself in an
embankment at the factory boundary.
The workshop was badly damaged. The windows were blown out and the roof
collapsed. The explosion also lifted the roof of the main factory building, which
had to be replaced. The cost of the damage was over £1 million.
Fortunately, no-one was injured, because the operator realised that the cylinder
was in a dangerous condition. He raised the alarm and the factory was
immediately evacuated."
One exploding cylinder caused over 2 million US dollars in damage and and collapsed the roof. So now tell me it is exxagerated. - bakatrinh, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3The exploding Waterski in Waterworld is hilarious.
- CarStan, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Not all their articles go to the FP and not immediatly. It's mostly the Lists, wich are ,hands down, almost everytime very funny.
- Daggity, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Dr. Shawnanigans or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Torpedo
- crossmr, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3When I was young we used to just call it running.
- zer0nix, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2that one's supposed to be parody; these are (supposedly) serious.
- cgohier, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUmLe9WCXX0
- Kirby2000, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Doesn't a stone windmill explode in Sleepy Hollow?
- 4udacious, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3That was epic.
- tidu, on 07/04/2008, -2/+4This was after you asked yourself why this young adult shoots webbing from his wrists, right?
- AUniquePerson, on 07/05/2008, -0/+2I agree. Having never seen that movie, I noticed what looks to me like a glass vial of yellow liquid on the stakes on the bottom left. (Though it is kinda blurry.) I'm surprised Cracked missed it.
