Explosions are cool, really cool. So cool, in fact, that it's easy to forget that things don't just explode in the way you want them to. They are governed by physics just as everything else in the real world. But why let that get in the way of the story? If you make it spectacular enough, people will be too awestruck by the explosion to break their Willing Suspension of Disbelief because of it. Sub-Trope of Artistic License – Physics. If the explosions are nuclear (or antimatter), you might also run into Artistic License – Nuclear Physics. |

Deep Blue Sea: A Threatening Shark is defeated by detonating ten flares' worth of gunpowder, said to equal 'Two and a half sticks of dynamite'—not only does ten flares not contain gunpowder enough to rival the explosion of two and a half sticks of dynamite, the explosion shown is far too big for even two and a half sticks of dynamite. Busted by Mythbusters. | |

For All Time: North Korea builds "The Glorious People's Hammer", a nuclear bomb with a blast yield of 250,000 Megatons. For context, in Real Life, the largest nuclear bomb ever built, The Tsar Bomba, had a yield of 50 megatons and could have possibly reached 100 megatons with a different construction. | |

Authors Note: One of the author's notes is that peanut butter is actually the main ingredient in the atomic bomb. In reality, atomic bombs (such as the one dropped in Hiroshima) have high concentrations of the fissile isotopes uranium-235/plutonium-239. Scientists select these two because of how readily they undergo the fission process. Though, some with uranium-233 also have been constructed. | |

Gettysburg had many cannons used in filming... and many horses, too. Since they were not really war horses trained for battlefield conditions, the blank charges used in the artillery scenes were cut down to 1/4, and the sounds were added in post-production. It can be spotted by watching how far the guns recoil when fired. | |

Steel: At the climax, the hero is shut inside of a room with a hand grenade. A hand grenade that lasts almost a whole minute to go off as John Henry Irons finally makes a good free throw (through a small opening in a grate) to save his life. Grenade fuses only take between 5 to 10 seconds to go off. | |

Demolition Man: At the start, Simon Pheonix prepares to explode a building by puncturing drums of gasoline with his knife, to which he starts a fire which reaches 55-gallon drums labelled "C-4" which explode the building most satisfactorily. C-4 is a plastic explosive, and so storing it in 55-gallon drums would be inefficient at best. Also, C-4 is renowned for its stability, only exploding under very specific circumstances (it can even catch fire and burn safely, it's been known to be used as emergency cooking fuel in a pinch). | |

Breaking Bad: Walter White sets up a bomb that blows up Hector Salamanca, Tyrus Kitt, and Gus Fring. Given that the bomb blasts a door off its hinges Gus Fring would never survive the blast even for a few seconds. | |
