Car damage = instant fireball.
Any significant impact to a vehicle, particularly when falling off a cliff, will result in the vehicle exploding and/or immediately catching fire. Evidently fictional cars run on nitroglycerine. This trope comes from the public knowledge that vehicles are full of flammable substances like gasoline minus the less-public knowledge that liquid gasoline has to be vaporized and mixed with air at the proper ratio before a spark will ignite it. At worst your "exploding" car would actually be a car with a small fire. Needless to say, Rule of Cool is in full effect here.
While cars are the most common vehicle to go kaboom, it seems that any form of transport has a good chance of exploding in a huge ball of flames and debris if it's shot at or wrecked. Aircraft, locomotives, ships: pretty much anything gas-powered and motorized is a fireball waiting to happen. Sometimes vehicles tumbling off cliffs will burst into flames spontaneously, in midair, before they've even hit the ground. Some pretty egregious instances might even have them mushroom. Expect it to intersect frequently with Dangerous Clifftop Road (as in the page image).
The Trope Namer is the now-infamous Ford Pinto, a low-cost car launched by the Ford Motor Company in 1970. Its fatal flaw was that its gas tank was placed between the rear axle and the bumper — and the bumper itself was not sturdy — meaning that any damage to the car's back end could easily puncture the tank and spill fuel on the hot exhaust pipe. After several incidents when a Pinto burst into flames after a minor collision, its reputation as a cheap death trap was sealed, and it was taken off the market in 1980 to be replaced by the North American Ford Escortnote Which began based on the European Ford Escort mk3.
If the massive numbers of parodies (such as cars going poof at a touch, or things exploding that don't contain gas at all, like bicycles) and Lampshade Hangings in recent years is any indication, this is on its way to being a Discredited Trope, especially after MythBusters debunked it. Still, there are plenty of people who believe that any damaged car is inches from going up in flames, leading to well-meaning bystanders pulling injured persons out of their cars and causing further harm.
Subtrope of Artistic License – Explosives. Compare Made of Explodium, Hair-Trigger Explosive, Damage Is Fire. Molotov Truck is often a weaponized version of this. External Combustion combines this with Vehicular Sabotage. See also Shoot the Fuel Tank for a slightly more justified sub-trope.

Sherlock: In "The Six Thatchers", a drunk driver being chased by the police crashes into a parked car. Cue massive explosion accompanied by huge fire. According to the Blu-Ray extras, the scene was shot over two nights: the crash (with the stuntman playing the drunk having his legs protected by a steel frame), then they taped off the crash area with warning signs, then over the day removed most of the cars' fittings (including the protective frame) and fitted them with explosives and pyrotechnics; then filmed the explosion on the second night. They had just one chance to get both shots right.

This was a staple of cheesy 1970s and -80s action shows (T.J. Hooker, Starsky & Hutch, etc).
Saturday Night Live parodies this with fake commercials of "The Man Channel" (years before Spike TV came out) which features nothing but cars exploding, driving off of cliffs, flipping over, or some combination thereof in slow motion.
Taken to an extreme in one episode of the 1970s buddy cop series CHiPs. In a second-season episode, a multi-car pileup occurs on the freeway, and a huge explosion occurs, resulting in mass deaths and destruction of vintage iron. (One cop makes a dark joke about finding an "F" that had blown off the tailgate of a Ford station wagon that was involved in the crash.) Ironically, no Pintos were damaged during the filming of this scene.
Even some of the more serious or realistic shows such as The Bill, The Professionals, The Sweeney, and Taggart aren't immune.

Happens hilariously in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Bullseye". A suspected pedophile is leaving the courthouse when he sees his wife, whom he had planned on hiding his arrest from, there to pick him up. When she jumps out to greet him, he jumps in the car and speeds away, slamming perpendicularly into a trailer of an 18-wheeler. At first, it seems nothing is going to happen (maybe an attempt to trick the viewer into thinking the show is averting this trope) and the detectives start to run towards the car. Suddenly, there is a huge explosion, with flames literally two or three stories high (the amount of gasoline the special effects guys needed must have been mind-boggling). This was a particularly egregious example since there the only damage was to the front of the car and there was such a delay between collision and explosion.

In Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake, you can blow up a boat simply by adjusting the outboard motor's screws the wrong way. You can also crash a snowmobile so it explodes in White Wolf of Icicle Creek, although it takes several collisions to do it.
And yet, in Trail of the Twister, crashing your car results in nothing but a game over.

There's an infamous part near the end of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl where you can make an APC explode by stabbing it with a knife. Once. That's because the knife does a ridiculous amount of damage thanks to a glitch, and the APC is one of the only remaining intact vehicles in the game. The rest were Dummied Out because of bugs like this. It works on helicopters too, if you can get high enough.

In the Battlefield series, every single vehicle explodes when it suffers enough damage, turning into a blackened wreck, and then that explodes into tiny bits after it either suffers enough damage or stays there long enough.
Averted for dramatic effect in one mission of Battlefield: Bad Company 2: at one point, the armored convoy the player is currently fighting alongside is ambushed, and they take cover behind their Humvees. Despite the torrent of enemy bullets, said Humvees remain undamaged no matter how long the player hides behind them.

During the infamous DEATH BATTLE! between Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black, the "getaway car" Black was riding on crashed into Bieber and then into a wall, killing both driver and passenger. The Jonas Brothers walked on the scene, but could only get off a Flat "What" before the car exploded. Bieber's katana wound up flying through the air as a result... and landing in the forehead of Miley Cyrus.

In an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos, a model airplane crashes and tumbles to a stop. There's a second-long pause, and then it explodes. The most common fuel for model engines is a mixture of nitromethane and methanol, because this requires less air to burn: the main limiting factor when building an engine that small is that it's hard to get enough air through it to burn petrol efficiently. It's no more dangerous to handle than petrol most of the time, but not so much if it's contaminated or degraded.

In Darkman II: The Return of Durant, at the very end, Durant's limo explodes like the Fourth of July. This is only minutes after it was explained in detail the insane amount of armor plating, bulletproof glass, and other features added (including a 10-disk CD changer in the trunk). Of course, the car hadn't been designed to withstand bombs inside of it, but one would expect a car like that to contain the blast somewhat.

Parodied in A Certain Magical Index when Touma and Misaki were once attacked by a street gang called Deadlock, whose gimmick is that they ride around on rocket-powered roller skates. Touma throws a remote control at one gang member's head and makes him crash, and the man's skates explode in a massive fireball. Touma and Misaki incredulously ask what kind of shoddy design that was.

A straight example in the final act of Christine. Arnie and Regina are killed in a freak accident during mild winter weather on the turnpike. The car hits the guardrail, going no more than 45, and explodes. In reality, there would be significant body damage to the car (especially a 1970s-era Volvo, which were built like tanks), but it's unlikely there would even be any injuries if everyone was wearing seatbelts.

When Booth shoots Kovac in the finale of Bones, the car he’s driving goes over a ridge and explodes upon hitting the ground. Possibly justified of what was in the oil barrels it hit was an explosive material.
To be fair, there are lots of barrels on the ground where the car lands, so it might not be the car that explodes. A couple of episodes earlier, however, the victim of the week is thrown off a bridge and lands on the hood of a car, causing the driver to panic and crash into a tree; the car promptly explodes (once the driver's got out), burning the corpse to a crisp.

In The Naked Gun, a car-chase ends with the pursued villain crashing his car into the side of a tanker truck. Explosion #1. Then, straddling the flaming remains of his vehicle, he runs into an army missile being towed on a trailer. Explosion #2. Now riding the missile, he plows in through the front door of a fireworks factory. EXPLOSION NUMBER THREE, as Frank Drebin unsuccessfully attempts to shoo away gawking spectators: "Move along! There's nothing to see here!"

The Worst Witch fic “The Blood of the Covenant� opens with Mildred’s family being killed in a car crash that practically ripped the street apart from the force of the explosion. News reports soon clarify that the explosion was so great because a car literally crashed into the fuel tank of the bus the Hubbles were in at the time; Mildred only survived the explosion because she instinctively cast a shield spell to protect herself, and was in a coma for a few days because she exhausted her magical reserves trying to shield her mother.

In an episode of House M.D. called "Distractions", a buggy explodes in a fireball after slamming into a pile of steel tubes. The ridiculous factor is cranked up to 11, since this pile of tubes is sitting in the middle of a forest.

In Iron Eagle, you could say everything is a Pinto. Doug Masters steals an F-16 and everything he shoots at explodes whether it's explosive or not. He shoots at a radio tower - Boom! An anti-aircraft gun - Boom! A Jeep - Boom! A tent - Boom! Everything erupts in a big ball of fire with people doing flips to get away from it. To be fair, the F-16 is equipped with a 20mm Vulcan Cannon, but that shouldn't make buildings go up in huge balls of flame.

Subverted in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Mac and Charlie try to fake their own deaths by creating a goodbye video and then trying to blow up the car they said they were in. They try speeding into a brick wall, shooting the gas tank of the car and even using a grenade to blow up the car, but nothing works.

The Simpsons:
Parodied many times, including an exploding milk truck and a Gremlin driven by Hans Moleman... which coasts to a stop and doesn't hit anything, but still explodes. And it's not just cars, either. At least one episode had an empty shopping cart run into a tree and burst into flames.
In another episode, Bart claims the ridiculously run down and unsafe school bus they are in is "much better than the old bus". Cut to said bus completely immobile on some bricks only to burst into flames when a leaf falls on it.
Speaking of buses, "The Otto Show" featured Spinal Tap's bus driving off the road and subsequently exploding into flames, the result of Otto's reckless driving.
In "Krusty Gets Cancelled", when a passing pickup truck driver drops a Duff Beer can on her road, Bette Midler angrily throws it back. Somehow the can makes the truck spin out of control, go off the guardrail and crash into the cliff, exploding and even making a mushroom cloud!
Lisa and Marge fire bees at a Jeep. All of the bees seen hit the tires, causing them to deflate. Then, the Jeep catches fire.
In "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace," the car the family buys with the $15,000 from the townspeople blows up from just sinking into icy water.
In another Halloween episode, Homer saves a baby from a stroller as the stroller rolls out into the street. The stroller then explodes and catches on fire.
The Canyonero, which might catch on fire randomly.
Hans Moleman also drove a truck with a house on it. The house caught fire when going over a small bump.
"The Kids Are All Fight" did this with a toy ride-on car.

MythBusters:
The crew thoroughly disproved this trope's real-life existence when they shot up a car in an attempt to deliberately set off the gas tank — to no avail. In a later episode, they revisited the myth and were able to set the fuel on fire with a tracer round (eventually), though it still did not explode.
That said, if they're investigating a myth where there's even the slightest chance of an explosion, they will go out of their way to make sure it happens one way or another. A semi accurate description of the show's practices is, "Let's try it again, only with 50 pounds of TNT."
Later, in the Viewers Choice Special, they blow up a car the Real way (after having some Hollywood fun). And the singular flying wheel can be seen bouncing and rolling back onscreen from the bottom right.
In yet another episode, they try to detonate a gas tank from a burning trail of leaking gasoline (such as seen in movies like Payback), again to no avail. Even with a fire raging inside the tank, it refused to explode.
And if the car's moving faster than about two miles an hour, the flame will never catch up with it.
And in yet another myth ("Cement Mix-Up") they use inadvisable amounts of ANFO to absolutely annihilate a cement truck.You better believe it.
Recently they took a look at the "going over a cliff" part of this trope. They finally got an explosion on the fourth car ... the one with gas containers wrapped in det cord tucked neatly inside.

In F.E.A.R.'s Vivendi expansions (Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate), there are times when hitting a car in any way, be it gunfire or punching, will immediately cause it to explode. Since it doesn't happen consistently, it could possibly be just a bug.

Possibly the most absurd example ever comes from 1955 Western film The Man from Laramie, in which a wooden wagon bursts into flame after falling 30-40 feet off a cliff. OK, fine, the wagon was carrying a shipment of rifles, but rifles won't burst into flame when you drop them either.

Subverted in Gunsmith Cats. A villain drives off a raising bridge and her car explodes in midair. Two of the protagonists stare slack-jawed in amazement for a moment before suspecting that the third one had something to do with it. She smiles and shows that she's holding a remote detonator.

All cars in APB, from the lowly Han Callente to a beefy armored car or cement truck, will explode if they take enough damage from bullets, explosions, or collisions. Or that jerk in the dump truck that pushed you into the wall at high speeds. Strangely enough, driving your car to a gas station can repair it, even if it is on fire and moments away from exploding.

The 1981 cheeseball movie Condorman contained a chase scene that may be the penultimateultimate example of this trope. During the chase scene, the protagonists flee from a fleet of black sports cars driven by the KGB's vehicular stunt division or something. (It's that kind of movie, just go with it.) Excluding the car driven by the leader of the pack (who survives for future encounters), every single car that receives any sort of collateral damage worse than a sideswipe explodes into flames. Instantaneously. In one case it explodes in midair, before any collision has occurred. Guess the director was impatient...

A car drives off a low cliff in 7 Days (1998) and immediately explodes in a huge fireball. Weirdly, when the past is altered and the event happens differently, the same car sails off a higher cliff and doesn't explode until five minutes later. The only difference is that in the first timeline the driver had eaten an infected shrimp salad sandwich, so.. maybe the shrimp was Made of Explodium?

In Operation Flashpoint and the ARMA series, vehicles that take enough damage from explosive weapons, such as an RPG launcher, explode. The torched wreck then explodes again. It keeps doing this occasionally for a significant period of time, typically when a player is walking by it.

The cars in many racing games explode on impact. Pole Position is especially famous for this, where running into a billboard or even clipping an opponent's tire turns your car into a fireball. Pole Position II carried this a step further, with car parts spewing out of the exploding wreckage.
This was also the case with similar games of the era such as Road Fighter and F1 Race. Simply hitting on a wall, guard rail or even a safety barrier will cause the vehicle to go asplode.
Crazy Cars II has a Ferrari F40 that explodes upon crashing into anything, leaving nothing behind, no matter how slow the speed of impact.
The Hang-On motorcycle explodes after crashing, albeit without its rider. Super Hang-On averts this.

Burnout Paradise allows you to turn any stretch of road into a Crash Junction. Simply turn on Crash mode, and your car will suddenly flip into the air and begin bouncing along the road.

In Mannix it was routine for a car to explode into flame after it drove off a cliff... even before impact, while still in mid-air. Someone apparently liked this so much that an example showed up in the opening title sequence so we could see it every week! (It's about 6 seconds in).

Played straight, then subverted in a G.I. Joe issue where Scarlett, ordered to kill a Joe as a way to prove her loyalty to Cobra, shot a sniper round at them, but intentionally missed, hitting the engine compartment of their Jeep, which subsequently explodes, and two immolated Joes climb out of the car, stagger a bit, then collapse. It's later revealed to the reader that the Joes knew the shot was coming, had been wearing fire-protective gear, and exploded the car themselves.

At the very end of A Goofy Movie, there is a hilarious use of this. This movie had not used a lot of slapstick comedy before this moment, so it comes as a complete surprise when Goofy kicks his car, which was a little broken and he smiles and points at it, resulting in a Beat after which the entire car BLOWS THE HELL UP and knocks Goofy straight up out of his socks until he crashes through Roxanne's roof.

Taken to its logical extreme in Sharknado. After a little scrape with a sky-fallen shark, the heroes' gas tank ruptures; the protagonists immediately bail out, and sure enough the car explodes with no further provocation. Nothing's around to actually spark the fuel, and the engine's stalled, but none of that matters. Gasoline = explosion.

Played more than straight in Transport Tycoon. When a train hits a road vehicle on a level crossing, the road vehicle explodes in a spectacular fireball including a mushroom cloud while the train moves on without the slightest speed loss. When two trains collide, every single vehicle in each train (and be it an empty steel car) explodes in a similarly spectacular fireball. Planes can crash and explode, too. The only non-explosive vehicles are ships which (like aircraft) don't support clipping anyway.
RollerCoaster Tycoon's explosions are less spectacular, but also affect all cars on a train (a roller coaster train, usually) instantly. It's not unheard of for one of the trains to survive unscathed, though.

Just Cause loves this one. Vehicles explode if you so much as look at them funny. You could say they explode Just 'cause? Strangely, when you're driving them, the vehicles are surprisingly durable, and only display their Pinto-like qualities when you're not driving them. In fact, they're most susceptible right after you've bailed out of your vehicle. A collision that would leave the car unscathed while you're driving tends to cause the vehicle to explode if you've just jumped out of it.

An episode of Nash Bridges concludes with the eponymous character driving an actual Pinto into a building on a disused Army base to rescue his partner being held captive by a couple of bad guys. The heroes escape before the car explodes in a huge fireball which, in a rather unlikely fashion, blows out every window in the large 3 or 4 storey building.

In The Wraith, every car that is crashed into the Turbo Interceptor blows up in a spectacular fireball. Makes sense due to the car's supernatural origin, but the only thing that are intact are the bodies of the opponent drivers... well mostly.

Scrubs:
In one episode, the Janitor bets his van against Cox's sports car that he can get a date with Elliot "Blonde Doctor" Reed. Cox only accepted the bet for the joy of destroying Janitor's van in front of him. When Cox eventually wins the bet he ties a brick to the gas pedal and crashes the van into a wall. Ted assures the Janitor that the damage is minimal and it can easily be fixed when the van explodes spectacularly.
Also, in "My Unicorn", while on a model plane field, Matthew Perry's character dive-bombs his plane at JD, causing it to crash and not only burst into flame, but explode.

Double subverted on Sense8: Wolfgang rebukes Kala for shooting at a car's gas tank, telling her cars don't blow up when you shoot at them like in the movies. Being the resident science heroine, she knew that, and was waiting for the gas to leak down to where they were. She then sets fire to the gasoline trail, making the car explode.

Saints Row series:
Throughout the series, almost any car can become a super-heated shrapnel dispenser, even if it is shot with the weakest pistol in game. Hell, motorcycles will explode just from having an actual car push into them from the side for two seconds.
In Saints Row: The Third, at one point in the "Return to Steelport" mission you ride in a chariot being pulled by a guy in gimp gear, while Morningstar goons who are also riding in "pony carts" chase you. Shoot the enemy gimps, and they explode.
With nitros and body upgrades, you can make your car cause other cars to explode if you ram them hard enough. Especially if you drive towards oncoming traffic.
Exaggerated in Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell with the Comet, which is not only likely to explode in a collision, but will inevitably catch fire and blow up just from driving sooner or later.
From the 2022 reboot:
Enemy cars are very fragile. A side-swipe is guaranteed to instantly take an entire bar off an enemy vehicle's health if you're going fast enough. Two or three of them are very likely to cause a car to crash and explode spectacularly.
In the Insurance Fraud activity, triggering Adrenaline mode now causes enemy vehicles to instantly explode at the slightest touch from the Boss.

In Total Recall (1990), Quaid uses a taxi ("JohnnyCab") to flee from the bad guys. He has to sabotage the robotic driver, though, and drive the car himself. Once he arrives at his destination, he leaves the taxi, but the robotic driver shorts out and the car starts moving forward. It narrowly misses Quaid, then hits a wall at a very moderate speed and blows up. This has plot consequences, as the bad guys are informed a car has blown up and show up at the place, thus discovering that Quaid is headed for Mars.

In one episode, a helicopter survives the shockwave from a nuclear explosion to crash on the roof of a two-story house, intact. When it tumbles off the house, however, it explodes in a dramatic fireball.
In the first season, an escape car utilized by Teri and Kim to get away from a compromised safe house explodes after a fairly short drop off a steep slope.

In a scene cut from Iron Man, a small Humongous Mecha is hit by an expensive car and is knocked into a hydrogen-powered bus. The bus explodes. In the final cut of the movie, the bus explodes after that same Humongous Mecha fires a rocket into it, which is easier to understand. The second-to-last scene before the credits actually mentions the bus explosion in a stream of news text.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a bit more reasonable about this; it takes Energy Weapons, a grenade or Reaper rounds (which are some kind of tracer) to set a vehicle on fire, in which case you have until the next turn to get clear before it blows up, and even then the blast radius is only one tile. The Heavy's rocket launcher and MEC Trooper's Collateral Damage skill can blow one up instantly, however, and the explosion will set any directly adjacent cars on fire. The explosion is quite powerful, at 6 damage, enough to kill anything less tough than a Muton, including your troops if they have no upgrades. A commander can exploit the fact that aliens will always move away from burning cars that are set to explode, making them ripe for flanking or Overwatch attacks; however, aliens killed by any sort of explosion leave nothing to salvage but corpses, which is a major inconvenience early on. In earlier versions of the game, some cars would spontaneously explode for no reason at all, a bug that has since been fixed.
** ''VideoGame/XCOM2'''s ''War of the Chosen'' expansion adds the Reaper faction, whose HeroUnit can unlock the "Remote Start" ability to detonate any environmental explosive object on the map in one shot, with a wider blast radius and more damage than a normal explosion. In city maps, cars are invariably the most common target.

Played with in Daybreakers. During the car chase some of the human hunting vampires crash their car and there's a huge explosion. But it isn't the car that blows up from the crash, it's the vampires inside of the car who blow up, because in this universe that's what happens when vampires get staked, and the crash sent two very heavy and sharp metal beams straight through the windshield.

Parodied in Top Secret! — an East German army vehicle is wildly out of control, until the driver realizes he's on a collision course with a Pinto that is inexplicably standing out by itself in the middle of an open field. In East Germany. (In a land of Trabants, the man with a Pinto is king?) Through dint of heroic effort, the driver wrestles his vehicle to a stop — almost. His front bumper ever-so-gently pings the rear bumper of the Pinto (the contact depicted aurally with a small bell), upon which the car promptly explodes. The German vehicle drives away from the accident, apparently running just fine, even though it's still got a few spot fires on it.

The Grand Theft Auto series of games fulfills this trope nicely, in that every vehicle will explode when damaged enough, even if it's from a guy standing on top of the car and stomping on the hood. Later games allow for cars (and trucks, motorcycles, helicopters, tanks, and anything else with a motor in it) to explode instantly if shot in the gas tank, and even a completely undamaged car will explode if overturned. Though maybe this is why there is little heat from the owners when you rob them of their forms of transportation. All wheeled vehicles tend to spontaneously lose at least one wheel.
If you manage to hijack a train in Grand Theft Auto (Classic), drive it around town for long enough to encounter a second train, and hit that train, all cars of both trains will explode. Someone must have played too much Transport Tycoon.
If you are able to steal a tank in Grand Theft Auto III (and other games of the series as well) even grazing a nearby car at relatively low speeds causes enough damage for the car to explode on impact. If you can call it that. More like touching. The tank, on the other hand, remains unaffected. Great fun for driving down highways in the wrong direction. It should be noted that a tank will eventually explode from damage. They're not invulnerable, they just have extremely high endurance.
In the same game, the M16, with its oddly gatling-like rate of fire can destroy almost any vehicle in just a couple of seconds.
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, shooting a car or bike's gas tank cap will cause it to explode, which is ridiculous because the tank is almost nowhere near the cap (not that the tank itself will explode if shot). One of the cars exploded when you shot its rear license plate - the Real Life car it was based on had the filler cap behind the rear plate.
If you melee a bicycle, or otherwise find a way to flip one over, it will smoke for a few seconds and explode.
Oddly, driving a car over a hundred foot cliff does nothing... if it lands square on all four wheels. But, as noted, one bullet to the cap...
Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V avert this to a degree. When a car suffers massive damage from collisions, the engine usually just dies and grinds to a halt. Also, cars no longer catch fire or explode simply from being flipped over. Cars still blow up from explosives, gunshots, or catching fire. In the latter game, your car can also explode if you drive it off a cliff and land on the engine side too hard.

At the end of Battletruck, the titular rig is run off a cliff and into the nearby ravine, in the process going up like a tinderbox.

Die Hard 2 has a plane crash and explode in a fireball... despite one of the reasons it tried to land in the first place was because it was running out of fuel. However, a nearly empty tank is actually more dangerous than a full one, as it's filled with fumes.

One of the most notable examples is in Space Mutiny in which two vehicles that can only be described as a cross between golf carts and floor cleaners crash into each other while doing speeds of nearly three miles per hour! This results in a huge explosion.

In Laserblast, there was a chase scene that ended with the bad guy's car going over the edge of a cliff, at which point it cut to footage of an entirely different type of car which exploded before it got anywhere near the ground.

xXx:
If you look close enough, the Corvette explodes a split-second before hitting the ground.
The countless cars blown up by the helicopter-mounted Gatling are Truth in Television, though. Even the U.S. President's limousine would explode if shot with dozens of explosive rounds per second.
Also Pinto snowmobiles and a Pinto boat. The latter should definitely not have anything explosive in its bow, would this be Real Life.

If you are able to steal a tank in Grand Theft Auto III (and other games of the series as well) even grazing a nearby car at relatively low speeds causes enough damage for the car to explode on impact. If you can call it that. More like touching. The tank, on the other hand, remains unaffected. Great fun for driving down highways in the wrong direction. It should be noted that a tank will eventually explode from damage. They're not invulnerable, they just have extremely high endurance.
In the same game, the M16, with its oddly gatling-like rate of fire can destroy almost any vehicle in just a couple of seconds.

In Enter the Matrix, the driving minigames tend to require that the player empty absurd amounts of ammunition into the police cars chasing them, all of which explode violently upon Critical Existence Failure. It's not necessary to shoot up civilian vehicles to pass the levels, but they take a lot less damage to blow up, and it's fun besides. The Agents' cars, however, are immune to damage.

Deep Blue Sea: One of the more ridiculous examples of this trope. A regular rescue helicopter is pulled down to the research rig (in the middle of the ocean), by a shark that is holding onto the helicopter's rescue cord. Upon making contact with the research rig, it inexplicably explodes with an enormous fireball with a radius of at least fifty meters.

Speed Racer:
There's a car that flies off of a cliff in every episode, which explodes in a violent manner. Since racing is the whole point of the show, one would think that they'd have the tracks a little bit further away from cliffs. Or active volcanoes, for that matter.
The intro also depicts a car crashing through a railing and flying through the air before crashing to the ground in a massive explosion.

At least one episode of Walker, Texas Ranger, and probably more besides that, had a particularly bad instance of this: Walker confronts a car full of gang members by calmly walking out into the street, drawing his gun, and firing a single shot into the hood, setting it on fire and out of control.
This happens in nearly every episode of the show, but one of the worst is when a villain, in making his getaway, barely so much as taps another car on his way out of the area, only for said car to explode spectacularly. What makes it worse, is that a few scenes later, Walker's truck survives a grenade exploding under it with the only damage being the front bumper falling off.
That's because his truck runs on Awesome, which is, as we all know, non-flammable.
But Awesomeness Is Volatile!

Roundabout applies this to limousines. Dying from anything in the game, whether you've crashed into one too many cars or fallen off a cliff into the sea, results in your limo exploding in a fiery ball. This happens to Renaldo's limo when you run him off the road as well.

In Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico, every vehicle has some cinema-realistic level of resistance to damage from collision. As in most driver-shooter sandboxes, a vehicle will explode if sufficiently damaged, usually after a warning flickering of flames. But leaping from that vehicle instantly transforms it into Explodium, a rolling missile that will impact with great balls of fire. Even a highly armored, perfectly undamaged vehicle coasting to a stop from a 10 MPH cruise will detonate on a front-end impact with something as small as a road sign.

In the Arcade game Point Blank (1994), one of the challenges is to unload 60 to 100 rounds into a parked car in approximately 15 seconds. Depending upon where you shoot the car, the windshield will break, tires will go flat, door hinges will break, and the hood will be blown off. And how do you know that you've successfully completed the challenge? The car explodes.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In the Don Rosa story "Guardians of the Lost Library", Donald Duck watches a succession of television shows that repeatedly feature the hero's transport catching on fire, be it a car, a speedboat, or even a horse. In a sci-fi version of that show, even the comet the hero is riding bursts into flame. Or possibly not, as, to use Donald's words "It's kinda hard to tell with comets."

In Fallout 3, you'll find cars that explode with a mushroom cloud effect. Though the cars do run on nuclear power, any really big explosion, nuclear or non-nuclear, will produce a mushroom cloud. So in this case it's instead justified by the Rule of Cool. What makes it worse is that the AI likes to use these nuclear deathtraps as cover.
Usually there's only a few at a time in many places, but there's a road near the Theodore Roosevelt academy that has dozens of them lined up. If you're traveling on it, one should be careful because Super Mutants and Raiders like to hang around it. Misfire and at the very least, your computer will lag like crazy.
This is exaggerated with a long stretch of a multilane highway just north of the Red Racer Factory on the outskirts of western D.C. It is filled with dozens upon dozens of vehicles abandoned in gridlock. Clear out the local raiders, save your game, perch yourself up on the Scavenger Bridge, and shoot a car at the end of the chain until it catches on fire. Stand back and watch the fireworks. Hours of fun to be had... provided your computer can handle it.
The AI will also use them against you. The sniper Arkansas in Minefield is scripted to purposely shoot at the cars and set them off.

Every car Clark seems to come in contact with explodes for no apparent reason other than "it looks real neat on camera."
Obviously one of his powers is to turn things into explodium.
In one notable instance, a man flips a car after a plant makes him delirious. Clark's father pulls the man from the car just before it blows up in a miniature MUSHROOM CLOUD explosion. Seriously.

Stargate SG-1: In "The Changeling", Teal'c gets in the explosion of a burning car. This is just the hallucination of a person with limited knowledge about Earth technology, but who has seen quite a lot of Earth movies, so of course everything happens as he has seen it on TV.

A double subversion happens in The Fast and the Furious (2001). Johnny Tran's gang pumps Brian's car full of bullets. Brian and Dom just keep standing next to it as it catches fire without blowing up. Seconds later Dom shouts "NOS!" and the car goes up in a massive blue fireball as they run away .

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, shooting a car or bike's gas tank cap will cause it to explode, which is ridiculous because the tank is almost nowhere near the cap (not that the tank itself will explode if shot). One of the cars exploded when you shot its rear license plate - the Real Life car it was based on had the filler cap behind the rear plate.
If you melee a bicycle, or otherwise find a way to flip one over, it will smoke for a few seconds and explode.
Oddly, driving a car over a hundred foot cliff does nothing... if it lands square on all four wheels. But, as noted, one bullet to the cap...

Particularly annoying in Borderlands, due to the lethal combination of terrible driving controls (you can only steer by moving the camera), being very vulnerable to the explosion's damage, the vehicles being extremely fragile, and the "exit" animation taking a good full four seconds until you regain control, during which you're just as vulnerable to the potential explosion. In the second playthrough, they're really only useful for transportation; if you don't bail out the moment you start taking damage, you will be either killed or left vehicle-less at the very least. Oh, and if a car so much as grazes an Exploding Barrel, the barrel explodes, the car explodes with it, and you die.

[PROTOTYPE] plays it straight big time. All vehicles explode after losing their last hit point, even as they show progressive physical damage which culminates in flames on the vehicle just before going boom with Battlefield-style wreckage. Soft-skinned vehicles are more susceptible to trivial damage than armor, which results in funny situations where you can actually jump and land on a truck/car/helicopter enough times as it gets more beat up, then ka-boom.
Probably even more amusing is the fact that sometimes Alex kicks down hard enough on an object to actually do damage when parkour-ing over something. Meaning you can sprint over the same car over and over, until sufficient kicks blow the car up.
Maxed Musclemass jacks up the throw damage so much that weaker vehicles like sedans explode immediately upon impact, even if it did not suffer any damage prior to being thrown.

In almost all Halo games, various armored military vehicles will spectacularly explode when they suffer sufficient damage from enemy fire:
From Halo 3 onward, it is even possible to make heavily-armored battle tanks explode by simply boarding them and punching them several times. Which is handwaved by the Spartans having enough Super-Strength to turn a person's skull to mush with one punch, and wearing him Powered Armor which amplifies the wearer's strength tenfold. That said, while Master Chief might be able to tear a tank apart with his bare hands, his fists shouldn't be high-explosive weaponry, even if he's punching the engine.
If you're killed while in a vehicle in Halo 2 and 3, it will often suffer Critical Existence Failure and explode, no matter what cosmetic shape it's currently is in.
Averted in Halo: Combat Evolved, where the only destructible vehicles are Covenant vehicles in the singleplayer mode.

Final Destination:
The 747 at the start of Final Destination blows up in a very Pinto-esque manner only a few seconds after takeoff. The problem isn't that the sequence is impossible; it's just that the NTSB animation of the real TWA 800 explosion is a million times scarier than the cartoon blow up in the movie.
The interstate vehicle pileup in Final Destination 2 is the complete embodiment of this trope. Regardless of if they're crashing headlong into a log or being hit by a garbage truck, just about every vehicle on the road blows up in spectacular fashion. Some even explode twice.
Ditto for Final Destination 4, with even less realism as the explosions of the NASCAR race cars are somehow able to propel enough shrapnel through the fence to kill an audience of spectators.

San Francisco Rush cars will explode into a burning, charred husk◊ if they land upside down. And then will respawn like nothing ever happened. Unless you have Deaths enabled. Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA exaggerates this trope with the "Suicide" cheat, in which even the lightest tap between cars will cause both of them to explode.

Played straight in Alwaysnote a remake of a earlier film called A Man Named Joe. We see Richard Dreyfus — in a A-26 Intruder medium bomber-turned-firefighting-plane, mind you — make an impossible move to save a buddy's plane (a PBY Catalina), which has had an engine catch fire. He flies impossibly close over the buddy's plane, and dumps his tank of flame-retardant on the on-fire engine, dousing it. We then see that a single flaming splinter from the buddy's formerly-burning engine has embedded itself in the Intruder's wing. The two pilots look at each other — then boom! Never mind that the A-26 was a medium bomber from WWII and designed to be able to survive bullets through the wing...one flaming splinter is all it takes to make the plane explode. From the fuselage, natch.

Averted in 101 Dalmatians. When Horace and Jasper's truck crashes into Cruella's car at the end, both vehicles get smashed to bits as they fly off the edge of a cliff, but there's no explosion. Of course, the fact that Cruella, Horace and Jasper all survive this is with absolutely no injuries is somewhat improbable, but it has nothing to do with this trope.

Three the Hard Way:
Jimmy Lait is being chased by mooks in two cars. He draws them up to the roof of the parking structure, and while his shooting at the cars doesn't cause them to explode, and they keep stopping from the other cars they bang into, they both are supposedly driving fast enough that when they hit a cinder-block wall hard enough to go through it and over the edge, one of the cars explodes just from having struck the wall.
Jimmy is lured to a full size phone booth at a vacant lot. A dump truck smashes the glass and steel booth, without any trouble, but Jimmy is able to hang on and jump in the back. He then pulls one of the mooks out of the passenger side of truck, and the other tries to shoot at him through the door and top of the cab, but Jimmy jumps off. The truck drives up a ramp, crashes through the cardboard sign on a billboard and explodes.

Persona 5 Strikers has this as a field attack, where standing on top of certain vehicles smaller than a bus will give the option to shoot at it to blow it up and deal fire damage to all nearby enemies. Likely justified, since this takes place in a Mental World where toy guns shoot live rounds if someone thinks it's real, so everyone there would be following movie logic. Later objects such as giant ice crystals and nuclear tanks can do the same attack with different elements.

Somewhat justified in that the sled was coated in fresh lacquer, which is potentially flammable, and there is an ignition source, but still...

In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, most non-Gundams are Made of Explodium (when not piloted by a main character), but Leos in particular appear to be designed with their fuel or ammunition evenly distributed around the entire body. Shot in the arm? Kaboom. Same for a lot of mobile suits across the franchise, really. The original series at least justifies this by way of said suits being powered by fusion reactors — touch them wrong and the entire suit goes up. This makes mobile suit combat in space colonies a generally bad idea, as these explosions are large and powerful enough to punch holes right through the walls of the colonies and open them to space.

In Far Cry 2, vehicles will take damage, resulting the engine smoking white, and then black, as well as noticeably performing worse. If, however, you leave the engine alone while it's spewing black smoke, eventually it will catch on fire. At that point, you have about ten seconds before it goes boom. Oh, and shooting things with rockets or tossing grenades in the bed of a truck. Funny thing is that many cars in this game actually are Pintos!

GoldenEye does this for literally every object in the game. Boxes, chairs, televisions, computers, cameras, toy model helicopters, and just about anything else can and will explode when shot enough. Oh and of course cars are naturally blown up here as well. Wait, even toy model cars explode!
This is even more absurd when you comparing to the work that inspired it: in the movie, cars are brutally smashed when the tank runs over them, but don't explode. In the game, just touch a car with the tank and it blows to smithereens.

Eraser involves a car being struck by a train moments before the end of the film and blowing apart into manageably small pieces. Fate of occupants a foregone conclusion. Given that this was a real effects shot with a car actually being struck by a locomotive, though, it's at least excusable that they wanted to break up the car a little bit to try to avoid any unfortunate derailing during filming.

In Gargoyles, it was almost easier to count the number of plot-relevant vehicles that did not explode on impact. A motorbike exploded and burst into flames from a fairly slow impact with a wall in the opening arc of the series, and not long after a motorcycle exploded violently after being shot in the front fender.

Variant in Bang Bang It's Reeves and Mortimer: one of the more surreal recurring sketches (and that's really saying something) involved the duo in a car where, at some point, Bob would hit a button that made the bonnet and boot lid blast off into the air - when they landed in a field, they would then detonate in absurdly large explosions.

In Star Wars Episode I: Racer, blowing up your pod is fairly easy to do if you take too much damage or crash, though it's just a brief time penalty at worst. In the sequel, Revenge, blowing up your pod is much harder, but doing so makes you instantly lose the race (though now you can also inflict this on other racers).

Subverted in Of Love and Bunnies— Tanya and Adam are holding a Ranger Kegger at their mansion when space pirates attack (having followed the Astro Negaship there— their attack caused the Megaship to crash into the front lawn). Since there were about a billion Rangers there already, the pirates get their asses kicked. Their vehicle (described as looking like a giant purple minivan with wings and thrusters) has its' self-destruct function activated. Once people hear that everybody promptly rushes the hell away... but instead of a big explosion, as is Power Rangers tradition, it just collapsed into a heap of metal debris. Kat says this is so the Troobians can salvage the wreckage easily.

Power Rangers Ninja Steel. Cars are bombs on wheels in action media, and if you know Power Rangers you know everything explodes, so how do you think car damage goes here? The most extreme would be the time a Monster of the Week stabs the back door of a car with its drill arm. The result is an insanely massive fireball. One must wonder how auto makers in this universe cut the holes into the doors to install the handles without dying messily. Bonus points for him tossing motorcycles as projectile weapons in the same scene. They go up quite nicely. Of course, this is the show where someone being pushed into a stack of cardboard boxes results in a big shower of sparks, so it's about what you'd expect.

Goldfinger has a moment where a car drives over a cliff and while it's just hanging in midair, it blows up in a spectacular fireball. Not after it hits anything, but when it's just about 15 feet past the cliff. This trope was abandoned fairly quickly in the series (except when explosives were concerned).

Averted for dramatic effect in one mission of Battlefield: Bad Company 2: at one point, the armored convoy the player is currently fighting alongside is ambushed, and they take cover behind their Humvees.

Back to the Future:
Averted in the first film with the Libyans' van, which merely tips over after hitting the photo booth. On the other hand, this does create a Plot Hole, since the terrorists are treated as no longer being a threat after this even though they apparently survived.
Back to the Future Part III:
A steam locomotive gets its boiler supercharged to the limit of its pressure capacity and then explodes in a quite realistically violent manner after it goes hurtling off a cliff. Steam locomotives occasionally exploded spectacularly in real life, sometimes hurling pieces of themselves tremendous distances.
Averted also in the third film when the DeLorean is hit by a train after returning to 1985. Rather than explode in a fireball (it didn't even have any gas in it that could have ignited in such an unrealistic fashion), it more or less shattered into pieces without any pyrotechnics.

In BattleTech, 'Mechs and vehicles with internal combustion or fuel cell engines may spontaneously explode from fuel tank or engine hits (the rules differ a bit between unit types) even under the standard tournament rules. The reason this is listed here instead of under Shoot the Fuel Tank is that the relevant critical hit slots can't be targeted on purpose, but any damage may randomly strike them and set them off — including that from physical attacks or collisions. For additional fun, a VTOL that takes internal damage specifically from a crash automatically explodes.
Under the rules for ramming and movement on concrete, it is technically possible for a vehicle to fail to control itself while moving at high speeds on a road or other concrete surface, drift, and crash into a building, scenery, or other unit and cause one or both of them to explode from the resulting collision, provided they are operating on the aforementioned internal combustion or fuel cell engines. Since some of the various 'Mechs actually operate on internal combustion or fuel cell engines (especially with Industrial 'Mechs in the Post-Jihad era), it is theoretically possible for this scenario to occur with a bidpedal Humongous Mecha.

Cannonball:
One driver is killed when a bomb goes off in his car. (The bomb makes this a Justified example.)
Another driver is killed after he drives off of an overpass under construction and his car explodes when it hits the ground.
Another driver is shot in the head and flips his car. Then the car explodes for no readily explainable reason.
The movie exaggerates this trope during the mass pile-up near the end. Every single car that crashes explodes, most of them immediately. The three girls have to be extra careful to not hit any car no matter how slightly, lest their van would explode, too.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: If it happens in a film viewed on the show, you can bet they will comment.
One of the most notable examples is in Space Mutiny in which two vehicles that can only be described as a cross between golf carts and floor cleaners crash into each other while doing speeds of nearly three miles per hour! This results in a huge explosion.
Oddly reversed in Riding With Death, in which we are told that a truck is carrying a compound so unstable, that it could take out an entire town. When it finally does explode, it's relatively tame.
Also oddly averted in The Giant Gila Monster, when the hero destroys the titular monster by driving his car into the beast, killing it in the resulting explosion (he dove out of the car in the nick of time). Averted in that he is actually shown placing some bottles of nitroglycerin in the passenger seat of the car.
In Laserblast, there was a chase scene that ended with the bad guy's car going over the edge of a cliff, at which point it cut to footage of an entirely different type of car which exploded before it got anywhere near the ground.
In Escape 2000, vans explode in giant balls of flame after being hit by mere shotgun shells and pistol bullets. Not even high explosive rounds would do the amount of damage these bullets do. The trope even extends to a helicopter in the movie, as the hero Trash is able to blow it up with a regular pistol. At least American movies generally use high caliber bullets when they cause cars and helicopters to blow up.
Mike Nelson carried on this tradition when he started RiffTrax. Any time something explodes (especially if it's one of the movies he's riffing by himself), expect to hear him shout something like "No! I had my collection of antique dynamite in there!"

According to Daria and Jane, Trent's car averts this. You have to hit a Pinto first before it bursts into flames. Tom's first car, however, actually was a Pinto; his mother had it towed away in the middle of the night before it could ever explode for any reason.

In World of Tanks, some nations have notoriously flammable tanks, including high-tier Russian/Chinese mediums (due to frontally mounted fuel tanks) and most German vehicles (due to frontal transmissions counting as 'engine' for fires), but for a long time the king of this trope was the Covenanter, a tier 4 British light tank with a distressing tendency to burst into flames from any hit from behind (and yes, this included being rammed). This was due to the staggering 40% chance for its engine to catch fire when struck. Some Covenanter drivers used to pack both a manual and automatic fire extinguisher just because of how often the tank would drive around spewing flames from its engine deck. Fortunately it was toned down to be more in line with other tanks in its line, now suffering from the fairly standard 20% ignition chance instead.

Super 8:
Apparently, the pickup truck that kicks off the plot is Made of Explodium, as it is all that it takes to derail a train in a fiery spectacular fashion.
The deputy shoots a fuel-tank truck to make it explode as a distraction.
We also see a tank headed straight toward a parked Ford Pinto, but the scene is cut away from before any impact and the total lack of sound effects in the next shot (indoor, in the house the car's in front of) leaves the presumption that the tank driver swerved in time.

The Car: At the end of this horror flick when the eponymous vehicle goes over a cliff, it really blows up, belching forth a devil's head mushroom cloud. In this case, at the bottom of the cliff was a very large pile of dynamite. Practically every vehicle that fell victim to The Car also did this. In one scene, a police car rolls gets pushed off a cliff by The Car, and you can actually see that the fire starts from within the police car's passenger compartment as it starts rolling down.

The Killer (1989): At one point during the big shootout in the beach house, Chow Yun-Fat's title character blasts the hell out of a car to cover the escape of his maverick cop partner and his love interest. Eventually, the gas tank goes up and the car goes kaboom.

Tintin: A large number of car crashes fall into this trope. Land of Black Gold makes a plot point out of cars mysteriously exploding; the reason for this turns out to be Applied Phlebotinum being added to the oil supply as a deliberate act of sabotage.

Mike Nelson carried on this tradition when he started RiffTrax. Any time something explodes (especially if it's one of the movies he's riffing by himself), expect to hear him shout something like "No! I had my collection of antique dynamite in there!"

A series of fiery accidents involving 1973-1987 Chevrolet/GMC pickups prompted the TV magazine Dateline NBC to report on the crashworthiness of the trucks' gas tanks. A live demonstration seemed to back up the claim that the gas tanks were indeed susceptible to being damaged and causing deadly fires in the event of a side-impact crash on the gas-tank side (much like with the 1971-1976 Ford Pintos). However, a later investigation — at GM's request — showed the truck had been rigged to explode. The report severely damaged the reputation of NBC News (which settled a lawsuit with GM, and was forced to retract its story in an embarrassing on-air apology) and resulted in the resignation of its president, Michael Gartner, an Iowa journalist whose primary background was in newspapers... a career that eventually won him a Pulitzer Prize.
The video in question was shot by researchers at UCLA who were investigating what a gas tank explosion would do to a car's interior. Their first crash attempt had failed to produce a fire, so for their second attempt, they rigged the gas tank to explode on impact. 20/20 showed the film without mentioning that little detail, leaving an impression on viewers' minds that Ford Pintos would routinely explode on impact. They did have a design flaw where a rear impact could rupture the gas tank, leaking gas which could then be ignited by friction or sparks from broken wires in the electrical system. But even if both those events occurred, the result would be a fire, not an explosion.
They did the same thing with the "problem" with the gas tanks on Chevrolet pick-ups.

For Your Eyes Only: When Locque's car is kicked over the cliff by Bond, it gets totalled but doesn't explode. Surprisingly, only one car explodes in the whole film: 007's gadget-laden Lotus Esprit. It blows up after one of Kristatos' henchmen triggers the car's anti-theft mechanism. It also symbolised a parting of the ways with the gadget fetishes of earlier 007 films.

Due South:
Played with in an episode. Fraser and Ray (the second one) are driving a flaming car down the street— just go with it - and Fraser insists, "It's very, very rare that a car ever actually explodes." Two seconds later... the car explodes. Sort of.
In the episode "The Man Who Knew Too Little," Ian (who is a compulsive liar) says, "Are you aware that the gas tank in this particular make of car explodes on impact?" Later, Fraser, Vecchio and Ian have two bad guys shooting at them and have only One Bullet Left to kill both of them with:

Everything in StarCraft blows up when it dies. Everything. Every Terran and Protoss building or vehicle (even SCVs and Probes) exploded either red/orange (Terran) or blue/white (Protoss); biological units might as well have, for all the blood involved. About the only exceptions were Zealots (Protoss soldiers in armored suits), which turned into little blue flares, and Dragoons (giant-spider Mecha), which cracked open when they died. Heck, if you killed a worker unit while it was carrying resources, the Vespene containers or minerals would go up in their own explosion.

Given the nature of the game, almost every vehicle in Goat Simulator will, naturally, explode if kicked, headbutted or even jumped on too hard. Oddly, boats and moving vehicles are completely indestructible. Drag a parked car into the road, and it will explode when hit, while the car that hit it will drive off without a scratch.

Brazenly inverted in Duel. A tanker truck (with "Flammable" prominently displayed on the side), after attempting to ram the protagonist off the road for the entire movie, is itself run off a cliff. The protagonist runs to the cliff, waiting for the inevitable explosion, and... nothing happens. Fade to black, roll credits — this despite the original story and the movie script (both written by Richard Matheson) actually featuring the explosion, whereas David's ordinary car actually bursts into flames.

The 747 at the start of Final Destination blows up in a very Pinto-esque manner only a few seconds after takeoff. The problem isn't that the sequence is impossible; it's just that the NTSB animation of the real TWA 800 explosion is a million times scarier than the cartoon blow up in the movie.

Lampshaded and subverted in Debt of Honor. When two cars involved in a highway traffic accident explode and burn, killing most of their passengers, an NTSA investigation is immediately called because, unlike in Hollywood, cars usually don't burn. When the investigation results in the discovery of a serious safety defect in a popular brand of Japanese automobile, the public outcry and resulting Congressional investigation set off the main plot of the story.

In Where Eagles Dare, a car bursts into flames in mid-air. Another does so just rolling down an incline before reaching the cliff, and it's rolling on its wheels.

Averted in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater where Eva's motorcycle gets shot right through the fuel tank and all that happens is it leaks fuel. It's especially notable after watching every member of the Cobra Unit explode dramatically and fantastically into a rainfall of arrows or a massive fire ghost with little to no provocation upon their defeat

Speed: When Annie gets asked if she can drive the bus (which is wired up to explode if it drops below 50mph) she replies "Yeah, it's just like driving a really big Pinto." And it explodes like a really big Pinto, along with the plane it collides with. Which was filled with fuel in anticipation of a scheduled takeoff. It doesn't help that the bus was rigged with a bomb that, due to flagging sleep, was about to go boom anyway. Yay pyrotechnics!

In The Rock, Sean Connery unlocks every trope in the car chase achievement guide — the fruit cart, the near-brush with pedestrians, the delivery truck with no sides — before hitting an electric go-cart, which causes a multiple-car explosion. Naturally, Connery keeps driving unharmed. Two minutes later, there's one last car on his tail — so he hits an old-fashioned trolley car, which, of course, explodes.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
The episode "Jellyfishing" has Squidward falling off a cliff without any vehicle, and exploding in a mushroom cloud when he hits the bottom. It did happen to a few other characters throughout the series, too.
In "Something Smells", when SpongeBob jumps on a boat's windshield and blinds the driver with his horrible breath, the boat stops and suddenly explodes without crashing into anything at all.

Last Action Hero.: Repeatedly parodied. A man is thrown from a moving car into an ice cream truck which then explodes for absolutely no reason. (Or so it seems. If one looks closely, he was holding dynamite at that moment.) Another car jumps off a bridge and explodes in midair, also for seemingly no reason. Additionally, when Jack Slater ends up shooting a taxi multiple times in the real world, he is quite surprised that it does not blow up and wonders about a world where all the cars are bulletproof.

In The Great Raid, a truck operated by a Japanese soldier is hit with bullets as it is coming out of a garage. The truck bursts into flames. At the same time, Japanese soldiers quickly evacuate the back of the truck. A little bit of fridge logic makes you wonder why the Japanese soldiers were loaded in the truck that was parked in the garage.

Death Wish 3 features a hilarious example: after Bronson's character briefly walks away from his love interest's car (by this point the movies had run out of his family members to stuff in the fridge) and some punks immediately-like, the second Bronson turns around-punch her out and shift her car into neutral. The car rolls down a slight grade and bonks into another vehicle at about 15 miles per hour. And then, after a beat, both cars explode.

True Crime: Streets of LA featured this, but not only in the form of cars crashing and the like: the protagonist can receive training which makes him an exceptionally good shot. Following this training, when aiming at the rear license plate the targeting reticule will turn red. If you fire, the car instantly explodes, killing everyone inside. Oddly, if you were in a mission that required the driver to survive, they would be unhurt in the following cutscene.

In Escape 2000, vans explode in giant balls of flame after being hit by mere shotgun shells and pistol bullets. Not even high explosive rounds would do the amount of damage these bullets do. The trope even extends to a helicopter in the movie, as the hero Trash is able to blow it up with a regular pistol. At least American movies generally use high caliber bullets when they cause cars and helicopters to blow up.

Doctor Who: Parodied in "The Sontaran Stratagem": The Doctor is actually disappointed when the autopilot in the car he's just jumped out of self-destructs with a tiny "phut" instead of taking the whole car with it. According to The Other Wiki, the writer originally wanted to play the trope straight, but the lack of budget prompted her to lampoon the trope instead.

Every whole-looking car in Call of Duty 4 is apparently packed to the rafters with explosives. Enough damage to a vehicle will cause it to burn, then violently detonate. Inflicting a great deal of damage, such as with grenades or other explosives, makes it skip straight to the 'sploding. This is lampshaded in "Death From Above", where hitting a car and blowing it up will prompt one of the pilots to say, "Shit, musta been a full tank of gas", though considering the gun in question is from an AC-130... This dates back to at least the second game in the series, where it's possible to blow up an immobilized tank by smashing it with the stock of your rifle a few times.

Billy Madison: In one of the most well-remembered scenes from the movie, the entire O'Doyle family is driving down the road chanting "O'Doyle rules!" over and over again. The car hits the banana peel that a guy threw out the window of a bus earlier in the movie, inexplicably causing the car to skid out of control and fly off a cliff (all while the family continues to chant "O'Doyle Rules!"). Though it isn't shown directly, the car inexplicably explodes in a loud explosion off screen.

Crysis make no effort to avert this trope. Most of the time. Wanna know the best way to get rid of the KPA cheap knock off of a hummer? Shoot one single bullet in the gas tank on the rear side. Wait 5 seconds. Boom. However, if you shoot the mounted missile launchers of a helicopter, it will only make a tiny explosion, and the helicopter will still be able to shoot you missiles. Nonsense at its best.
Furthermore, your meathead marine can, like Master Chief, punch vehicles to fiery explosions, including boats.

Cars in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows will explode if they don't land on their wheels after getting knocked around; a single kick is enough to send a car spiraling through the air (justifiable, considering who's delivering the kick). Subsequently, the explosion will propel the car's driver through the air, who will then get up with no sign of injury.

In True Lies, a van carrying a group of terrorists is attacked on a bridge by Marine Harriers, leaving it teetering at the end of the destroyed bridge. The van finally tips over (with help from a little birdie), and barely hits the water before exploding in a massive fireball. It falls a whopping ten feet. The film also has the scene where snowmobiles explode massively after hitting trees. The terrorist van exploding could be explained from the large number of explosives it was carrying. One has to remember that that van DID shoot at the harriers with a Stinger. Odds are, there may have been more explosives in the van. However, military ordnance is designed to be very difficult to set off, except as intended; unless the weapon is armed, generally it will only explode if triggered by another explosive, such as a bomb. Compounds like TNT and C-4 are almost impossible to detonate without a proper trigger— even if tossed in a fire they'll simply burn without going off.

Burnout:
In the series, crashes and explosions are integral to the game. "Crash Junctions" challenge you to cause as much damage as possible by plowing into traffic. Starting with Burnout 3: Takedown, certain junctions have explosives strategically placed, making your car explode and creating even more havoc if you can hit them. Once enough cars have crashed, your car can explode yet again. Burnout Revenge carries the idea even further; when your car crashes during a crashbreaker race, a perfectly timed explosion can turn the tables on a rival. Note that you get to STEER your burning wreck in mid-air because Burnout is just that awesome.
Burnout Paradise allows you to turn any stretch of road into a Crash Junction. Simply turn on Crash mode, and your car will suddenly flip into the air and begin bouncing along the road. Even worse, most of the stuff you can run into will have at least minor explosions, but god help you if you run into a bus or a tanker truck.

In the My Bride is a Mermaid OVA, a tanker truck crashes into a building and doesn't explode immediately, but it does start leaking and has somehow caused a fire to start in the building. Eventually it explodes.

Battlestar Galactica (2003) averts this, showing many scenes of Vipers and Cylon fighters simply breaking up with a minimal explosion (from the missile warhead or explosive tipped ammunition). The most memorable example of this aversion is from the mini-series: Cylon missiles impact the cockpits of the new Vipers, which causes the pilot to be blown out to space, leaving the rest of the Viper more or less intact.

From Halo 3 onward, it is even possible to make heavily-armored battle tanks explode by simply boarding them and punching them several times. Which is handwaved by the Spartans having enough Super-Strength to turn a person's skull to mush with one punch, and wearing him Powered Armor which amplifies the wearer's strength tenfold. That said, while Master Chief might be able to tear a tank apart with his bare hands, his fists shouldn't be high-explosive weaponry, even if he's punching the engine.

The Living Daylights with an exploding jeep that went off a cliff. The explosives contained in the rear are on fire. note Outside of movies, modern explosives won't readily detonate in fire. They require a pressure wave from a detonator to explode. The detonator itself is usually electric and also won't explode spontaneously in a fire.

In yet another episode, they try to detonate a gas tank from a burning trail of leaking gasoline (such as seen in movies like Payback), again to no avail. Even with a fire raging inside the tank, it refused to explode.
And if the car's moving faster than about two miles an hour, the flame will never catch up with it.

Parodied in a scene in Soul Music. Mort and Ysabell go round a hairpin bend and go over the edge of a cliff. Upon landing, there is a large explosion, and "because there are certain conventions, even in tragedy" a burning wheel rolls out of the wreckage. The only thing is that they're not in a car, with petrol and electronics and other vaguely explodable things - this is the Discworld, so they're in a coach. It's suggested it was triggered by the oil lamps, but really it just happens because that's what happens.

Every vehicle in Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction has a health meter; when it's reduced to 20%, it automatically starts losing health, giving off flames and flashing and sending everyone nearby running for cover. Once it hits 0%, boom. Exploding vehicles deal splash damage, and thus you can even set off chain reactions if you weaken its neighbors enough. It was reported that the sequel would us a more realistic system, but it doesn't. Somewhat annoying when you are just trying to use a light vehicle to get to places quickly... For real fun in the first game, turn on God Mode, shoot a car enough to get it to that 20%, then quickly climb inside. Your invincibility will extend to the car, allowing you to drive a giant bomb around for pretty much as long as you want, until you ditch it at something at high speeds, bailing out at the last second.

Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V avert this to a degree. When a car suffers massive damage from collisions, the engine usually just dies and grinds to a halt. Also, cars no longer catch fire or explode simply from being flipped over. Cars still blow up from explosives, gunshots, or catching fire. In the latter game, your car can also explode if you drive it off a cliff and land on the engine side too hard.

A major storyline in Hollyoaks involves the sixth-formers stealing a minibus to drive Jono and Ruby to Gretna Green to elope. The bus's brakes are faulty and they crash into a building where other characters are having a double wedding ceremony. Some leaking fuel ignites, and the bus explodes spectacularly, killing Neil who is trapped inside after Maddie chooses to leave him to die.

Unstoppable: Every train is a Pinto. The film mostly portrays trains and railway operations realistically, but the one time a train derails, the force of the engine falling over onto the ground is apparently so violent that it causes the entire thing to blow up. Is it even possible for a diesel-electric locomotive to explode?

X-COM:
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a bit more reasonable about this; it takes Energy Weapons, a grenade or Reaper rounds (which are some kind of tracer) to set a vehicle on fire, in which case you have until the next turn to get clear before it blows up, and even then the blast radius is only one tile. The Heavy's rocket launcher and MEC Trooper's Collateral Damage skill can blow one up instantly, however, and the explosion will set any directly adjacent cars on fire. The explosion is quite powerful, at 6 damage, enough to kill anything less tough than a Muton, including your troops if they have no upgrades. A commander can exploit the fact that aliens will always move away from burning cars that are set to explode, making them ripe for flanking or Overwatch attacks; however, aliens killed by any sort of explosion leave nothing to salvage but corpses, which is a major inconvenience early on. In earlier versions of the game, some cars would spontaneously explode for no reason at all, a bug that has since been fixed.
** ''VideoGame/XCOM2'''s ''War of the Chosen'' expansion adds the Reaper faction, whose HeroUnit can unlock the "Remote Start" ability to detonate any environmental explosive object on the map in one shot, with a wider blast radius and more damage than a normal explosion. In city maps, cars are invariably the most common target.

Hudson Hawk. The safety features on ambulances are apparently disabled by the presence of stupid mobsters. In the chase scene, an ambulance driven by the bad guys hits a mound of dirt, flips over and explodes in mid-air. Although, given this was a movie with a talking crucifix and David Caruso, one may think it's not to be taken seriously.

In Phantasy Star Online 2, the City area is dotted with numerous damaged, abandoned vehicles that will go up in flames shortly after receiving a few hits from anything. On higher difficulties, this causes enough damage to potentially be a One-Hit Kill if you're caught in the radius, so on fighting on or around them tends to be a bad idea.

Family Guy:
An obligatory parody had Meg race a man on a horse-drawn carriage. The man loses control on a sharp turn and crashes through the guard rail. The carriage bursts into flame and the horse lands upright, notices what happened to the carriage, and flashes a nervous look to the viewer just before he too explodes. Maybe the horse was a 'pinto'.
Also parodied in the It's a Trap! spoof of Return of the Jedi with the famous speederbike chase, except with regular bicycles. And yes, they explode when hitting a tree. Additionally, a bicycle crashes, and a hurt stormtrooper gets up and limps a little before he blows up.

Towards the end of American Psycho, Patrick is involved in a shootout with the police. He shoots at them and misses, hitting their squad cars, which explode in a humongous fireball.

Transformers (2007) has an exploding bus. Bonecrusher (one of the baddies) rollerblades through a bus, causing it to split in half and explode in flames. The bus is labeled as being hydrogen powered. The rest of the film seems to avert this trope. Any damaged car simply is smashed, and doesn't explode. Also averted later in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen; the car the heroes are in is dropped 20 feet into an abandoned warehouse by the Decepticons, but it doesn't blow up. Not surprising, considering they are the main characters. How they survive the fall and subsequent crash without getting any serious injuries, however.

In Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), whenever Shadow is in a vehicle that tips over, it simply lays on its back for a few awkward moments, then summarily explodes in a (reasonably tiny) fireball. Shadow is, naturally, unharmed as long as he has solid ground beneath him. Likewise, there are several moments in Sonic the Hedgehog where vehicles will explode for no apparent reason, such as a speedboat that blows up violently upon performing a ramped jump and a motorcycle that spontaneously explodes should Robotnik get too far away or past a certain point.

In Crooked House, Lady Edith's car explodes after driving off a cliff in a quarry. In this case, the explosion is a visual shorthand to inform the viewer that the occupants of the car are dead without having to show the bodies.

From the 2022 reboot:
Enemy cars are very fragile. A side-swipe is guaranteed to instantly take an entire bar off an enemy vehicle's health if you're going fast enough. Two or three of them are very likely to cause a car to crash and explode spectacularly.
In the Insurance Fraud activity, triggering Adrenaline mode now causes enemy vehicles to instantly explode at the slightest touch from the Boss.

Transmission ends an arc parodying Duel with the Plymouth GTX being pushed off a cliff by an out-of-control Peterbilt. It explodes on the way down, even though, as Reg notes, it was out of petrol.
It's later shown that the Plymouth is cursed or haunted.

Averted in Speed Racer. The cars constantly crash, jump, flip, smash, and attack each other while racing at insane speeds. Only the most intense crashes (head-on into a solid structure at high speed) result in an explosion.

Averted in the fifth episode of Terriers, where main characters Britt and Hank drop a car from a cliff in order to get rid of evidence. Britt keeps staring at the car for a while after it has crashed to the ground: "Huh." To Hank's question "What were you thinking, that it would explode?", Britt replies: "I was kinda hoping, yeah."

The New World of Darkness provides rules for both regular vehicular damage and "dramatic" vehicular damage. Cars are far more likely to blow up in the latter case.

Directly addressed and averted in an episode of Burn Notice, as Michael's Helpful Explanatory Voice-Over tells us: "Most people think that shooting the gas tank of a vehicle makes it explode. Unless the car is on fire, you'll just spill a few bucks worth of gas. An explosion requires something extra... like a few bags of acetone peroxide taped to the gas tank."
Then he proceeds to shoot the gas tank, put on his glasses, and do an Unflinching Walk away from the scene.
The rule of thumb on the show is that if a car explodes, it's because they did something specific to make it explode, i.e. put a blasting cap on the tank, rigged it with C4, shot it with a rocket launcher, etc....
In an early episode, Fiona also accidentally rigs a con man's car incorrectly. The goal is to short the car when Sam presses a button, but she mistakenly attaches the electrical device to the fuel line. Cue the explosion, and the bad guy thinking his partners are trying to kill him.

Carrie (1976): When Chris and Billy try to run Carrie over after she leaves the prom, she uses her telekinetic powers to cause the car to spin out, roll over, and eventually explode. It's justified here by the strong implication that Carrie used her powers to blow the car up, judging by the "Psycho" Strings and closeup on Carrie's face just as the car explodes.

Despite a general scarcity of explosive weapons in Supreme Commander (assuming UEF gauss cannons are simply kinetic-energy weapons and the various Aeon energy weapons are non-explosive), every unit and structure in the game goes out with a bang. Particular units helpfully tagged as "volatile" explode in an area of effect detonation.

Played with in Justified. The good guys want the car to explode, but even rigged with an IED and repeatedly shot at by a professional sniper, it doesn't blow until Tim throws a molotov cocktail at it.

In Die Another Day, when the hovercraft at the beginning collide into trees, they crumple up (as if they made of cardboard and tin foil) and burst into flames. They're driving over a mine-field, so things exploding with little to no warning does make a little more sense in that scene.
