For me that scene for the day the Earth Stood Still gets me. That Semi Truck turned to dust and then they show that highway sign. Philadelphia is only 29 miles away Harrisburg is only 118 miles away and Pittsburg is only 302 miles away. I live just south of Harrisburg Pa down in York. That's also just 50 miles north of Baltimore MD. This movie takes place around Washington DC. So this whole movie is a bit to close for me. Then again I'm also not far from alot of zombie outbreaks around Pittsburgh and Monroeville
@justincone777 I honestly don't know. I never seen either version the whole way through. I just remember the alien coming to Earth and I think he was trying to stop a war or warning us about something.
The miniature, atomic bomb recreation/green/back screen placement, GG bridge modeling, sound/editing work in Superman '78 were nothing short of impeccable and so ahead of its time for being done in 1977. The Chris Reeve flying around visual effects got all the glory. But the whole movie is fantastic and a masterclass in acting compared to alleged "superhero" movies in the 00's. What an underrated/forgotten gem.
I don't actually like to talk about my life and childhood,but,when I was younger,I was been in love with disaster movies.Seriously,when I was like 5-6 y.o.,I repeatedly watch the "2012","twister", and "The Titanic".I don't know why,but it's probably because of this destruction scenes,they're just so epic.
I Know. you caught that too huh? I was like this is sad because the real tragic story about it is fucked up. I mean I rather be taken away by a tsunami then die the way they died. No really. But they only have 4 scary choices. Jump off, burn, suffocate from black smoke, or be crushed by the building😢. And there anniversary passed away a few days ago.
@@tanceegayton690 a lot of the people who died from 911 died to the dust in the air that spread around it had cancer in it or something about fire protecting foam that was able to have cancer some how
And imagine you see me in one of the scenes and I'm just ripping ass like bent over and I'm just taking a fat dump. Would it be satisfied? Absolutely.😊
Or the strange feeling in seeing the twin towers in early movies in view of what really happened to those buildings in real life. I remember in Ireland at work in 2001 when those towers came down. Some people could not believe the initial reports, just after lunchtime in Ireland, and thought it was a hoax or a movie but when the management announced that people could go home in view of lack of response and willingness to work normally, every one was stunned into inaction, as many people knew people in NY at that time. The big shock for me was seeing people having to walk home from NYC midmorning because their downtown offices no longer existed. NYC love their work and it would take a lot to stop them from working. A Pearl Harbor sized attack was what did precisely that on that fateful day.
@@jgdooley2003 there are some movies in the 80s and 90s that had the Twin Towers destroyed or planned to be destroyed, especially one in 1996 where Samuel L Jackson plays, and the villain says to him "We will destroy the Twin Towers and blame the muslims for it", that's the scariest foreshadowing.
The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.. So why do they keep building that bridge?!
The way the Knowing apocalypse is handled always struck a nerve with me. It isn't like a nuke or asteroid where you're left with twisted metal remnants of vaguely recognizable landmarks. No. Everything is literally turned to dust. Like it was never there. Truly one of the greatest end of the world takes I've seen.
Best ones are the ones that use practical effects. Major respect for the filmmakers that know how to trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. and just leave the cameras rolling as the cast and extras react naturally
Well. Most movies are centered in New York City, California or the U.S.A. in general so you are correct. kind of... Most are centered in New York so you may be correct.
I know, right? It has been shaken apart by earthquakes, hit by meteors, swallowed by tidal waves, trampled by Godzilla, eaten by sharks, and even melted by the Sun, and yet it's somehow still standing. That bridge has many more lives than a cat!

My favorite one is "knowing" with Nicolas Cage, good story, great special effects. There is also some nice scenes in "London has fallen" and "Olympus has fallen". For some reason, my favorite one is the destruction of the white house in "Independence day"...
Poseidon was the first movie I ever saw, by accident bc I was supposed to be sleeping in the back of our station wagon. It fueled my love for disaster movies, still my favorite genre 45 years later.
Who could ask for more? You should do a Part II which would include Satisfying Historical Destruction Scenes which would include Destructions from The Last Days of Pompeii (1935), One Million BC (1940 - with Victor Mature), Samson and Delilah (1949), San Francisco (1936), The Rains Came (1939), Rains of Ranchipur (1955), In Old Chicago (1938), Suez (1938), Atlantis The Lost Continent (1961) , One Million Years BC (with Raquel Welch), etc. I'm sure all your fans would love to see the Sequel to this!
Great video mate, I still find Dante's Peak a really good watch with all it's practical effects, not much cgi there, and it is over 25 years old. Modern movie makers should take note!
What a fantastic compilation! Such talent with FX. I love these all but the one that is special in my heart is the original Poseidon Adventure. As a kid it really lit a fire in me for special effects.
Same. Saw it rerun so many times on HBO. My sister and I would fill the bathtub with water, walk around the edge, swing around and onto the toilet (lid down, of course), and voila, instant Poseidon Adventure!
Fun fact: the Mars Attacks scene was filmed during an actual demolition. Of course, special effects were added, but the building is the Landmark Hotel in Vegas.
Well at least with such large tidal waves, you are likely under so much weight and force from water of that depth submerging you that you drown almost instantly as the air is forced from your lungs by the compression of your chest and likely the impact stuns you so you aren't aware you are drowning.
😮 greetings from coastal Mississippi. Nice compilation of movie clips. Didn't see Twister , Volcano, or Earthquake in the line up. I saw a lot of these movies over the decades. I also survived many a disasters myself. Camille, Katrina and 9/11/01. Thankfully these are only movies......
Movie destructions are absolutely Satisfying. My Favorite is the ocean 🌊 type scenes. I especially love the movie Poseidon - that’s one of my favorite movies!
Do you remember how Dante’s peak was or is taught in classrooms as it’s an insanely accurate representation of a volcano in movies? (Edit as of July 2023, my bad, obviously it’s *somewhat* accurate not insanely accurate.)
Yes, but it's not entirely accurate. There are a few glaring misconceptions. People mention the part about driving through lava or the pyroclastic cloud at the end. But what kills me is the sulfuric acid lake. It should be giving off a noxious gas that would immediately kill anyone near it. Instead, they cross it (mostly) unscathed.
@@joshuagross3151 👍 Right. they only brought light to the corrosive properties of sulfuric acid and the metal boat and not the gases that would have killed them all whether they touched the water or not.
@joshuagross3151 yes, glaring horrifically obvious mistakes. My girlfriend is Head of Geography at a high school and she puts Dante's Peak only slightly above Volcano for realism but scores both. If you want more accurate the BBC docudrama Yellowstone is far more real. It doesn't have as many flashy Hollywood disaster scenes but what it does have and the realism more than make up for that.
I love 'Knowing'. Besides the alien thing, it's a beautifully done movie - hell, even the alien scenes, if a little random, were also some stunning examples of cinematography. It will always be the most harrowing of all of these to me. You don't hear anything. No music, no screaming, just you and the sounds of fire and perfect destruction. Also, why does Hollywood hate the Golden Gate Bridge so much what the fuck
@@kristinschermann6581 in America, perhaps. I wouldn't even know its name if it weren't for the fact that I have friends there and love disaster movies 😂
Part of it is the bridge is iconic, part of it is that it lies close to a major fault line, so it is easier to make it believable that an earthquake will topple the bridge. Also many people get a bit anxious about being up on high bridges or elevated roads where there is no way off, so for the minutes you are on the bridge you are trapped in a sense and have given up any control. It's similar to people being anxious about flying as they have given up control and if something goes wrong nearly all outcomes are fatal.
"Knowing" is probably the most complete (and scariest) destruction of the Earth out of these clips, everything is just incenerated, nothing survives that. Also The Golden State Bridge takes a beating, especially if there's a school bus on it lol.
I wonder if that was a particle beam used by the "Harvesters" in ID4. I gotta say 2012, Armageddon, Deep Impact, ID4:2, Melancholia, Greenland The Terminator 3, Knowing and Moonfall had the best "End of the World" visual effects.👏👏 (honorable mentions: Ecostorm, The Day after Tomorrow, Star Wars the Force Awakens and Rouge One: even tho the Star Wars movies doesn't take place on Earth seeing the surface and or planets get deleted by planetary sized. "Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe, but *THIS* heh, heh does put a smile on my face."
I'm glad these recordings are in movies not url but something like this could happen who knows mother nature could bring us something scary and big one day
You just need Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The War of the Worlds (1953), and War of the Worlds (2005) and this already excellent video will be complete!
I may be a ship buff, but I was expecting just structures and not the Poseidon. I was also expecting just fictional wipeouts. So to see the 2004 tsunami twice here was surprising.
Rest in peace, the golden gate bridge, everytime you're constructed some catastrophe happens! Another thing, we all know the cameraman is invincible, but I find it weird he just happens to be there when the world is getting pummeled!? I think the cameraman is in on it.
Siempre es un placer para mí ver la destrucción de los tres principales objetivos de destrucción en casi todas las pelis: El Golden Gate. La estatua de la libertad. El Big Ben.

The sea is beautiful, but it's not a good neighbor.
It’s total bs for dramatic effect, tsunamis or tidal waves wouldn’t be that high, but just as destructive.. 🤦♂️
Well at least with such large tidal waves, you are likely under so much weight and force from water of that depth submerging you that you drown almost instantly as the air is forced from your lungs by the compression of your chest and likely the impact stuns you so you aren't aware you are drowning.

😮 greetings from coastal Mississippi. Nice compilation of movie clips. Didn't see Twister , Volcano, or Earthquake in the line up. I saw a lot of these movies over the decades. I also survived many a disasters myself. Camille, Katrina and 9/11/01. Thankfully these are only movies......
0:30 not the towers….
Yep...
0:30 the 2 towers WTC?
You must have really liked Dante's Peak. I think it's the longest sequence in this.
Great mash-up of all these movies. AWESOME !
Movie destructions are absolutely Satisfying. My Favorite is the ocean 🌊 type scenes. I especially love the movie Poseidon - that’s one of my favorite movies!
Which Poseidon move 1972 or 2006 one
@@megalodon8448 2006 is my favorite
0:46 that old guy with the newspaper: this is fine :/
🎯🎯🎯
ahhh this is a melody to my ears and the charm of paradise to my eyes
Not gonna lie, there's a certain charm in seeing iconic landmarks getting that destroyed in fiction
Do you remember how Dante’s peak was or is taught in classrooms as it’s an insanely accurate representation of a volcano in movies?
(Edit as of July 2023, my bad, obviously it’s *somewhat* accurate not insanely accurate.)
Yes, but it's not entirely accurate. There are a few glaring misconceptions. People mention the part about driving through lava or the pyroclastic cloud at the end. But what kills me is the sulfuric acid lake. It should be giving off a noxious gas that would immediately kill anyone near it. Instead, they cross it (mostly) unscathed.
@@joshuagross3151 👍 Right. they only brought light to the corrosive properties of sulfuric acid and the metal boat and not the gases that would have killed them all whether they touched the water or not.
@@joshuagross3151 interesting info! I loved this movie as a kid, as well as volcanoes
@joshuagross3151 yes, glaring horrifically obvious mistakes. My girlfriend is Head of Geography at a high school and she puts Dante's Peak only slightly above Volcano for realism but scores both.
If you want more accurate the BBC docudrama Yellowstone is far more real. It doesn't have as many flashy Hollywood disaster scenes but what it does have and the realism more than make up for that.
Personally, I want to detonate a nuclear device of 1 Gigaton, 1 kilometer below the water off the coast of the azores, unleashing a megatsunami.
Lots of good movies there. The destruction scenes are so much fun to watch. Am I the only one to think this way? I've been told I'm crazy.
That bridge should be famous by now its in every disaster movie😂
Wouldn't call it satisfying, more so scary! So realistic as well !
Now we need a horror movie about The Great Fire of London from 1666.
I totally watch it.
😩😩😩😩😩😩🕋🕋🤲🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿
How is 1974's Earthquake not on this list? Those scenes terrified me as a kid!!!
This is very stress-relieving for some reason... 😆
I know you probably won't see this, but could you make another one of these? It's really good and the only one I found that doesn't have music
The camera man never dies😂
I love 'Knowing'. Besides the alien thing, it's a beautifully done movie - hell, even the alien scenes, if a little random, were also some stunning examples of cinematography. It will always be the most harrowing of all of these to me. You don't hear anything. No music, no screaming, just you and the sounds of fire and perfect destruction.
Also, why does Hollywood hate the Golden Gate Bridge so much what the fuck
I don't think Hollywood hates the GG Bridge, I think it's just such a well-known landmark & it takes a hell of a lot for it to fall
@@kristinschermann6581 in America, perhaps. I wouldn't even know its name if it weren't for the fact that I have friends there and love disaster movies 😂
That plane crash in Knowing is still my favorite action scene in a disaster movie.
Part of it is the bridge is iconic, part of it is that it lies close to a major fault line, so it is easier to make it believable that an earthquake will topple the bridge. Also many people get a bit anxious about being up on high bridges or elevated roads where there is no way off, so for the minutes you are on the bridge you are trapped in a sense and have given up any control. It's similar to people being anxious about flying as they have given up control and if something goes wrong nearly all outcomes are fatal.
"Knowing" is probably the most complete (and scariest) destruction of the Earth out of these clips, everything is just incenerated, nothing survives that. Also The Golden State Bridge takes a beating, especially if there's a school bus on it lol.
You'll be happy to know that the older fellow reading the newspaper in Central Park NYC survived. "That was some ride." he said afterword.
I remember watching this in theaters when it first came out back in 98' and how the cinematics just blew my mind.
I love how they make it look like the atmosphere is a shield and the comet is punching through that shield when it's just air to make it look cooler
@@raven4k998 Wait, I really hope you're kidding.
@@sayansarkarz5414 it's ok I'll eat you alive for dinner tomorrow just be patient little one you'll get your turn to be eaten for dinner🤣
Camera man is a legend for not flinching
😂😅😂👍🏽!
Satisfying is hardly the word I'd use...
According to rumour, the golden gate bridge is the most heavily insured structure in existence.
I wonder if that was a particle beam used by the "Harvesters" in ID4. I gotta say 2012, Armageddon, Deep Impact, ID4:2, Melancholia, Greenland The Terminator 3, Knowing and Moonfall had the best "End of the World" visual effects.👏👏 (honorable mentions: Ecostorm, The Day after Tomorrow, Star Wars the Force Awakens and Rouge One: even tho the Star Wars movies doesn't take place on Earth seeing the surface and or planets get deleted by planetary sized. "Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe, but *THIS* heh, heh does put a smile on my face."
Volcano, Twister, Day after tomorrow, Nuclear train, Star Trek 2 and many more...
Respect to the bridge surviving all these disasters
I'm glad these recordings are in movies not url but something like this could happen who knows mother nature could bring us something scary and big one day
*Camera man never dies*
Lol
Yea
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
Forget the old man with the newspaper. Let’s talk about how many L’s the golden gate took in this montage. Poor thing made at least 8 appearances. 🤣
Damn never really realized just how often the golden gate bridge gets destroyed 🤣 seems to happen a lot.
You just need Terminator 2: Judgment Day, The War of the Worlds (1953), and War of the Worlds (2005) and this already excellent video will be complete!
I love these ❤❤❤❤❤
The one thing I learned in this video is that movie directors love to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge
Yea between the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 and New York City 🌃 those are the main movie destruction scenes!!
The Golden Hate Bridge
And women's screams are unnecessary and annoying.
I may be a ship buff, but I was expecting just structures and not the Poseidon. I was also expecting just fictional wipeouts. So to see the 2004 tsunami twice here was surprising.
Agreed. I'm a MASSIVE Poseidon fan, and it always brings me a smile to see it in here.
Rest in peace, the golden gate bridge, everytime you're constructed some catastrophe happens!
Another thing, we all know the cameraman is invincible, but I find it weird he just happens to be there when the world is getting pummeled!? I think the cameraman is in on it.

Deep Impact was ahead of its time, that effect quality in 98' is wild
The Golden Gate Bridge sure takes a beating in these scenes.
Siempre es un placer para mí ver la destrucción de los tres principales objetivos de destrucción en casi todas las pelis:
El Golden Gate.
La estatua de la libertad.
El Big Ben.

I’m never ever crossing the Golden Gate bridge ever in my life
LOL! :)
