Final Destination 5 - Bridge Collapse Scene

Say what you will about the Final Destination films, but there is never a lack of great death scenes in those movies. The newest is no exception. The bridge scene was surprisingly well done, better than the previous two film's "vision disasters." One highlight is the death of Peter(Miles Fisher). As he's hanging onto a railing of the collapsing bridge, a truck full of construction materials rolls backwards above him. Suddenly a jolt from the bridge causes some rebar to fall out of the truck impaling Peter before he splatters onto the concrete substructure below.

2012 - LA Gets Destroyed (5 Minute Preview Clip)

Master of Disaster....films, Roland Emmerich is generating some buzz with his newest film 2012. In this preview we see Sony Pictures Imageworks give LA a spectacular CG sendoff. Will it be a good disaster movie or just another Emmerich disaster?

Tsunami - Close Calls

A scene from the 2009 South Korean disaster film Tsunami. After a megatsunami hits the city of Haeundae, Dong-choon finds himself under a cargo ship stuck on the Gwangan Bridge. A cable snaps, narrowly missing Dong-choon, sending a bystander flying through the air (we see her faintly in the background falling back down). Dong-choon runs around in panic as cargo containers fall violently around him, crushing people. A handful of good death scenes from an above average disaster film with heart and one of the best actors in the business, Kyung-gu Sol. Can't go wrong.

Independence Day - Checkmate

The scene that relaunched the disaster movie genre. Independence Day was at the forefront of the large-scale disaster film resurgence of the 90s. The film used miniatures and in-camera special effects more often than CGI to create a scene that would've even made the late great Irwin Allen proud.

The Towering Inferno - Death Scenes

The Towering Inferno was a well done(no pun intended) disaster film from 1974. The movie puts two big fears together, fire and heights. That combination is always good for a movie death or two. The Towering Inferno has plenty. Oh, and OJ Simpson is in it too, so yeah, epic.




ELEVATOR EXPLOSION

In this scene, as guests try to flee down the scenic elevator, an explosion blows the lift off track. One unlucky heroine falls to her death.





LORRIE'S DEATH

In this scene, Dan Bigelow(Robert Wagner) and his secretary(Susan Flannery) are both killed. Poor Lorrie breaks a window and gets blown out by a fireball.
SKIP TO 7:30 IF YOU HAVE A.D.D.

Knowing - Plane Crash Scene

This scene from the Nicholas Cage film Knowing almost makes up for having to sit through the whole thing. A nearly 3 minute continuous single tracking shot that will keep your eyes glued to the screen. Truly one of the greatest plane crashes ever filmed.
