Top 10 Cool Character Explosions

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

It’s always fun to watch shit blow up. It’s even more fun to watch people blow up. Heads, bodies, assholes, it’s all in good fun when it comes to Hollywood. Can you imagine ever seeing somebody explode in real life? How horrifying is that thought? You may think you’re desensitized to this type of shit because you watch a lot of movies but there’s no way seeing a dude’s head explode right in front of you doesn’t scar you for life. I’m gonna try it and get back to you.

1. PREDATOR

The biggest bang for the top spot. If you just have to explode you might as well try and take the planet with you. Sadly, I think he killed all other life within a 100-mile radius except the dude he was trying to kill. “Fuck a mushroom cloud.” -Dutch.

2. THE FURY

A step up from the SCANNERS scene, but this one adds the ridiculously bad acting to the mix. And the blue eyes, gotta love the blue eyes. Unless you’re that guy.

3. SCANNERS

It’s hard to be the classics. Back in the day this was as creepy as it was awesome. You have no idea how many times my VHS tape was rewound for this scene.

4. MAN ON FIRE

Waking up with a bomb up your ass must suck. Defeated, scared as shit, violated, constipated, and all around fucked. To be honest, I’d feel all those emotions if I woke up and somebody told me there was a carrot up my ass. At least I’d live…… I think.

7. GREMLINS

I always wondered what would happen if I put my dog in the microwave for a couple seconds until I watched this. I just wanted to watch him spin around all funny like. This obviously wouldn’t have ended well.

5. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

Would have been higher had it not happened off-screen but the build-up was great. Not sure what the point of this move was though. “I’m so mad I’ll blow up and shoot my guts at you!” I love this movie so much it should be frowned upon.

6. THE MEANING OF LIFE

I just used this scene not too long ago but there was no way I could leave it off here. One of my top ten favorite scenes EVER in film and it just seems to never get old for me.

8. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

I hope you read this before watching that video because dude that uploaded it thought it would be cool to insert different screams. How bored do you have to be? Anyways, Belloq go boom, melty face, God hates Nazis.

9. SLITHER

This movie should be more popular than it is. This scene alone should have punched it into cult status years ago. She’s so fucking hungry. I used to get like this with Taco Bell every weekend in college. Then I’d poop.

10. FOUR LIONS

This was easily the hardest I laughed while watching a movie last year. It’s even better when the filmmakers say a sheep really died during the scene. Why is that better? No idea, but I just laughed again.

Honorable Mention: RUBBER

See this long drawn out scene above? Do it over eight more times and you’ve got the entire plot outline for RUBBER. Could (should) have been ten minutes long and I still would have got the point.
