Impressive Pyrotechnics: Difference between revisions

* The DVD commentary for ''[[Dark Blue World]]'' (2001) mentions that the SFX man asked the director if he wanted a realistic look or huge fireballs for the scene where the airfield is bombed at night. He decided to go for the unrealistic visual effect.

* At the end of ''[[I Am Legend]]'', Robert Neville destroys the monster horde in the laboratory with a hand grenade which produces a large fireball.

* Casualties of War. {{spoiler|Corporal Clark attempts to frag PFC Eriksson to stop him from fingering the rest of the squad for the rape and murder of a Vietnamese girl. He does this by setting off a grenade in the latrines. Eriksson sees this, runs and is blown away by the explosion. Not only is he unarmed, but the lavatory explodes like someone set off TNT in it. Eriksson does more damage to Clark with a ''shovel'' then Clark does to Eriksson with a hand grenade!}}
