  • We’ve all seen action stars walk away from ridiculous explosions in movies. Here, Columbia University explosives engineer Rodger Cornell rates 10 movie explosion scenes based on how realistic they are.
    We look at scenes from action and adventure movies like “Indiana Jones,” “Transformers,” “Django Unchained,” “X-Men,” “The Dark Knight,” “Desperado,” and more. How plausible are these scenes in real life? Are they scientifically accurate? Let's find out.

    So real explosions are:
    - Short
    - Loud crack
    - Fireball that's about 30% larger than explosive but lasts like half a second.
    - Shock wave doesn't throw you, instead basically knocks you down.
    - Shock wave will likely rupture your lungs.
    - Ears and Lungs are affected most
    - If you blow up a house fireballs will be about 1-2 seconds long. There will be small fires around.
    - Most dangerous thing is fragmentation that will practically blend you.
    Notes:
    - Shooting a gas tank will not make it explode
    - Pulling a pin with your teeth will basically be very awkward and embarrassing because it's very tough. May break your teeth.

      He said you wouldn´t be able to pull the pin with your teeth. You would NOT pull the pin, ONLY break your teeth. It could be right. When you see actual footage of people using grenades, they do really jank very hard on the pin.

      "So real explosions are:
      "
      "- Short
      "
      Instant. Not short. Instant.
      "- Loud crack
      "
      Yes.
      "- Fireball that's about 30% larger than explosive but lasts like half a second."
      No, an instant shockwave and then all you see is the smoke. The fireball is too fast to see except occasionally.
      "- Shock wave doesn't throw you, instead basically knocks you down."
      No, it turns your body into a bunch of unrecognizable pieces that simply fall down.
      "- Shock wave will likely rupture your lungs.
      "
      If it doesn't instantly kill you... Which it most likely will...
      "- Ears and Lungs are affected most
      "
      And the rest of your body which is turned into... I don't even know... A bunch of pieces...
      "- If you blow up a house fireballs will be about 1-2 seconds long. There will be small fires around.
      "
      If it's Gasoline then it will just burn down very quick. If you are talking about HE then no, the house will instantly shatter into a billion pieces. There won't be a fireball. Just smoke and fragments everywhere.
      "- Most dangerous thing is fragmentation that will practically blend you."
      True.

      It's only impossible in our own universe, but judging things based on the internal consistency and internal rules and logic of a piece of fiction makes a lot of sense. It just depends on which parts they telegraph as being "not like logic in our world". There's no real reason why explosions would work any differently in, say, X-men, but they do make clear that the way Wolverine works isn't like in our world, i.e. he regenerates. So then it's a matter of taking that internal logic into account.

      Sr. was healed from his wounds in the temple. After he crossed the seal (warned by the knight) the eternal life is no longer possible. Since Henry senior (Sean Connery) was clearly healed from his wounds he just becomes a normal healthy man walking out of the tomb. You are not under divine protection when you don’t follow the simple rules the movie stated. Thus they are both mortal again. Any subsequent injury could be fatal.

    The Dark Knight explosion was actually real though.

    One thing he didn't mention is that all these explosions seem to be gasoline/petrol based. Gas explosions tend to look bigger and scarier because of that immense fireball they create, but they really aren't that dangerous to structures. Explosions created by dynamite like in Django Unchained or demolition charges like in The Dark Knight don't create that fireball, and military carpet bombs like in Transformers DEFINITELY don't. Movies just use those sort of gasoline explosions because they look cooler and they're cheaper.

      Bunsen burner blue flame on the top for 15 seconds did not ignite it.
      Vodka ignites more easily.
      I had to heat it underneath for 20 seconds or so until it started to fume, them heat the to which caught fire. Pulled the flame away and the diesel fire went out.
      So added heat to the top again for another 10-15 seconds. Finally it was able to self sustain. I know it's because there oxygen supply wasn't good since it's in a small metal cup, but still surprising.
      It did burn for about an hour though, which vodka does not.
      Also unhappy that it left a thick black sludge to dispose of.

Gasoline would produce a thick black smoke almost immediately, and would probably be illegal due to the pollution factor.

    This video is a bit disappointing - he spends far more time critiquing the set-up of these explosions rather than the actual explosion itself. Take The Dark Knight as an example - did the explosion look appropriate for the purported charges/source? Did it sound right? Was it over the top or just right? These are the questions I wanted answers to, not whether The Joker had the time or money to rig up the hospital.

      the reason why he's critiquing Joker's setup for the rig is because there simply isn't anything he can critique about the explosions, it was done just right, and perfect. People just need to find someting to critique, and he only assumed Joker did it ALL by himself, which the film never clarified, but it does give us an idea that Joker has a bunch of crazy psychotic followers he manipulate to help him do his deeds. So this "expert" is just forcing the critique on that one.

They really blew up a hospital for filming, and it almost went wrong (i recomend looking it up, it really shows the effort and talent that went into that movie) There was too much fire for it to be standard demolition explosives you'd usually see used on buildings like this, but its the joker, not a construction worker. If i recall correctly they used a combination of remote charges and gasoline to create a realistic but aesthetically pleasing explosion, which wouldn't be unreasonable for the joker (he's constantly shown working with gasoline like in the boat scene, which pretty much confirms that)
