RE: Explosions??

A zeppelin would be good. Does you story take place before they began filling them with helium?

Not long enough since the Hindenberg?

RE: Explosions??

Actually, to be honest, I was going to see how FEW explosions I could get away with. I think that people who think action movies are dumb always bring up the explosions.

I'm thinking back to some of my favorite action images. In Die Hard where Bruce Willis ties a firehouse around his waist and jumps off the building to escape an explosion - THAT was a good use of an explosion because it wasn't ABOUT the explosion.

I saw an old movie once -- I think it was "Lives of a Bengal Lancer" -- a brick building was blown up, but what I found fascinating was that the explosive blast didn't dominate the shot - it was the building flying apart into rubble. I just thought that was cool.

I'm sorry, I'm rambling. Did I answer your question?

I think if a guy had his watch explode, blowing off his lower arm and decimating the left side of his face, that would be cool. Or if the space shuttle hit a missile silo.

Only thing I've had go boom in my script so far is a smuggler's junk, courtesy of several bombs planted aboard by my assassin MC.

RE: Explosions??

Watching something blow up? I would have to say the White House in Independence Day. Best explosion ever.
