I will also have to go with I4, but I have to go with the space ship exploding. Hi boys, I'm back!

I prefer another target, a military target.

How about the best failed explosion:

The Italian Job (original) i.e. "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

This is not my signature, I have to write this every time I post.

Smile && Nod, it makes it seem like you know what's going on.

How about that Hotel exploding and collapsing in Oceans Eleven - made all the better by the fact that it all took place with George Clooney's back to the whole spectacle - Explosions and cool in one shot.

Also just a little mention to Angels office going kaboom at the end of season one. That was mighty!

The Petrol Tanker going 'poof' in James Bonds - License to Kill that was memorable.

The Klingon moon, Praxis! The explosion was cool enough, but what made it memorable was watching Excelsior get knocked around! "Don't tell me that was any meteor shower!"



BTW Star Wars fans. ILM did the effect for Star Trek 6, years before George added a similar effect to his "Greedo shoots first"
Star Wars special (buy more copies) editions!


I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.
