This Is Spinal Tap - The drummer at the end of the movie.

The one from ID4 (city explosion) was cool back in the day, it hasn't aged well.

My vote goes to the one in my pants during The Dark Knight. ;)

Cum Blasters 4

Chapter 4, 00:09:34 in.

I win.

John Cassavetes at the end of The Fury.

Multiple angles, repeated action, slow motion, John Williams going apeshit.....

Street Trash!

the funny thing about the Scanner's head explosion was that it was done very crudely - with a shotgun... hey go with the flow. The scene in uncut form then had the headless victim slumping to the table with all this blood flowing out of its neck.

likewise, the exploding head in Raiders of the Lost Ark originally didn't have the fire covering up all the grue and gore, the addition was to appease the MPAA and not have the film go out with a R-rating.

I've never seen it, since it was censored for American audiences, but the head decapitation with a shotgun of Willem Dafoe's character in WILD AT HEART was very gory in the uncut international print of the film.

I can think of is Police Story 3: Supercop. Duck, You Sucker was already brought up as well as The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

<b>Speed</b> - Bus collides with jumbo jet
<b>Stealth</b> -Refueling blimp explosion and Hangar explosion

"Have you guys ever seen that scene in "Scanners" where that dudes head blew up?"

Ahh...."Wayne's World".

what was that Kevin Costner movie where the guy's head blew up in a dream sequence - now THAT scene was jarring.

The Upside of Anger. Given the context in which it occured, that was probably one of the most unexpected moments I've ever seen in a film.

Detroit Rock City when the chick is on the crapper.

Or Vanishing Point at the end.

I've always loved the bridge explosion from True Lies.

Boat explosion at the very end of The Big Easy, with stunt replacements of Ellen Barkin and Dennis Quaid running toward the camera.

Over The Hedge - when RJ opens the bag of nacho cheese chips. That one really cracks me up.

I have always loved the one at the end of Leon/The Professional (available on YouTube, but I'm not going to post it since it contains several spoilers).

The end of Pierrot Le Fou

Yep :lol:

Oh come on people...

Particularly with that Family Guy reference:

Antonioni's

I like the explosion of the Nostromo near the end of the original Alien

Clip (explosion is at the very end)

You don't find the satirical overuse of "multiple cameras" during an explosion to be funny?

It reminded me watching action movies as a kid and them always using at least three cameras to film an explosion.

See the clip I posted in spoiler tags. It is clearly being referenced by that Family Guy clip.

The boat explosion in Parallax View. The scene itself is directed with such an opaque, minimalist style that the explosion itself is quite startling, as it seems to come out of nowhere.
