'''Dan Truman:''' Even if [[Colony Drop|the asteroid itself hits]] the water, it's still hitting land. [[Story Boarding the Apocalypse|It'll flash boil millions of gallons of sea water and slam into the ocean bedrock.]] Now if it's a Pacific Ocean impact, which we think it will be, it'll create a [[Giant Wall of Watery Doom|tidal wave 3 miles high, travel at a thousand miles an hour, covering California, and washing up in Denver]]. Japan's gone, Australia's wiped out. [[Depopulation Bomb|Half the world's population will be incinerated by the heat blast]], and the rest will [[After the End|freeze to death from nuclear winter]].<br />

** Not to mention the destruction of the Space Shuttles ''Atlantis'' and ''Independence'' after the ''Columbia'' disaster.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: those are '''people''' falling out of the Chrysler Building during the meteor shower in New York City. For additional [[Squick]], watch the movie frame per frame. That thing that just fell on a cab's trunk, severely deforming it? ''Not'' a piece of building.
* [[So Bad
* [[Tear Jerker]]: for a testosterone-fueled [[Action Movie]], there are several couples, but the tearjerking scene mostly involved {{spoiler|Grace and Harry}}.
** Special mention for the music video for the song ''I Don't Want to Miss a Thing'', where they mirror the most tear jerking scene in the entire movie, only with [[Liv Tyler|Liv]] and Steve Tyler...
