20The Rock (1996)

Premature Explodalation

There are bigger Michael Bay explosions (like when he blew up all of Paris in Armageddon) but this is his best film (yes it is) and this is his most conflicted blowing-up of stuff.

Nic Cage’s hero's has done all the heroic stuff he needed to do in order to not be exploded, but the planes don't quite get the order on time...

Hang on....
The opening of Lethal Weapon 3
The POV bomb drop in Pearl Harbor
The Sum of All Fears nuke
The Con Air desert airport blast
Scanners may be cool/messy and The Matrix may look good, but they are not necessarily great or large scale explosions. What about the rooftop explosion from Die Hard? Or the end of Die Hard with a Vengeance? Or the fake explosion in Die Hard 4.0?
Go back and try again.....
