You Have Ten Seconds To Reach Minimum Safe Distance - Sci-Fi’s Best “Shipicides”
io9 has posted list with video clips of some the great spaceship destructions in film and television history. There are some great ones in here with some especially good examples of models being blasted with pyro. I have to say, the most exhilarating thing VFX is building something t hat looks really cool then packing it full of explosives and watching it get consumed in a ball of fiery oblivion. The only thing I take issue with on this list is the clip from Vanilla Sky which is a car stunt for cryin’ out loud and also the glaring omission of the Rodger Young destruction sequence from Starship Troopers.
