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.
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.
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.
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
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?!
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
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.
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!
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!

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!
😮 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......
Basically all these films are a catharsis for Americans fear of a nuclear war. It allows them to experience it vicariously and live through the fear and anxiety of what that might be like.
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!
really enjoyed the visuals in this video; the editing was on point! but honestly, while destruction scenes are cool and all, don't you think they sometimes overshadow character development? it's like sometimes the big explosions take away from the emotional payoff. just a thought!
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.
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"...
I would have added Volcano - 1997 Twister - 1996 The Day After Tomorrow - 2004 Melancholia - 2011 (can’t go wrong with a massive rogue planet smashing into earth) These Final Hours - 2013 (the ending mostly, when the wall of fire is approaching the beach) Great list regardless…few titles in there that I haven’t watched in forever:)
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.
The Harvestor Ship landing on Earth scene from Independence Day - Resurgence had me fascinated af. Attempting to fathom a Ship 3000miles in Diameter with its own gravity causing destruction was too epic. Makes you realise Planetiod Ships make Interstellar travel possible.
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.
I always found the one from Knowing to be particularly brutal. Going into the film, you don't really know it's going to end up being an end-of-the-world disaster movie, it's more of a mystery thriller for 90% of the movie, but when that solar flare (or whatever it is) finally hits, man....does that thing hit HARD! It just fucking annihilates E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!
The first time I watched that film was absolutely brilliant. I had no idea what the hell was going on and then the penny dropped at some point in the film. The ending is horrifying and mesmerising and there's nowhere to hide, not even underground!
Yeah, I bet HR found a way to not pay is death and dismemberment bonus for being killed on the job claiming they had not record that his overtime was authorized.
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!

Wow, this video is really well put together! I love the way you captured those intense destruction scenes. but honestly, I've always thought that sometimes the destruction feels a bit over the top and takes away from the storyline. what do you all think?
"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.
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'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

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.

0:46 that old guy with the newspaper: this is fine :/
🎯🎯🎯
That 1933 Deluge film just got added to my list of must watch!
The Harvestor Ship landing on Earth scene from Independence Day - Resurgence had me fascinated af. Attempting to fathom a Ship 3000miles in Diameter with its own gravity causing destruction was too epic. Makes you realise Planetiod Ships make Interstellar travel possible.
There will be no shortage of ridiculous jokers with their "cameraman survives everything"
ahhh this is a melody to my ears and the charm of paradise to my eyes
Never thought the apocalypse would be seen as "oddly satisfying"
This is very stress-relieving for some reason... 😆
I love how you can just tell that's a model by the splashes 4:44 that's so cool tho how they made movies back then
Not gonna lie, there's a certain charm in seeing iconic landmarks getting that destroyed in fiction
14:26 Might’ve been one of the most visibly discomforting deaths I have seen in years.
I still take pause every time I see a disaster movie pre-twin towers being destroyed.
Tidal waves always freak me out a little in disaster movies. Just think that's one of the worse ways to go.
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.
Lightning attacking the Roman coliseum was pretty clever. Very Zeus.
Props to the cameraman for surviving all these disasters
Don't for get the sound guy
The CGI on deep impact is immaculate for 1998. Most of these are great but it’s just when cgi was becoming the HUGE PART of movies as a whole.
I always found the one from Knowing to be particularly brutal. Going into the film, you don't really know it's going to end up being an end-of-the-world disaster movie, it's more of a mystery thriller for 90% of the movie, but when that solar flare (or whatever it is) finally hits, man....does that thing hit HARD! It just fucking annihilates E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G!
The first time I watched that film was absolutely brilliant. I had no idea what the hell was going on and then the penny dropped at some point in the film. The ending is horrifying and mesmerising and there's nowhere to hide, not even underground!
0:56 i love that the cars are like trying to get away from the tsunami
You must have really liked Dante's Peak. I think it's the longest sequence in this.
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
2:55 crunchy Empire state building
That bridge should be famous by now its in every disaster movie😂
A minute of silence in respect for the office guy at 1:25 who did overtime for his company instead of getting to safety.
Yeah, I bet HR found a way to not pay is death and dismemberment bonus for being killed on the job claiming they had not record that his overtime was authorized.
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
I always laughed at how lightning blows up ANYTHING in The Core. lol.
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.

Wow, this video is really well put together! I love the way you captured those intense destruction scenes. but honestly, I've always thought that sometimes the destruction feels a bit over the top and takes away from the storyline. what do you all think?
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.
*Camera man never dies*
Lol
Yea
🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
According to rumour, the golden gate bridge is the most heavily insured structure in existence.
Camera man is a legend for not flinching
😂😅😂👍🏽!
Awesome, gorgeous, amazing scenes :*
"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.
How is 1974's Earthquake not on this list? Those scenes terrified me as a kid!!!
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.
I love how the movie "The core" highlights Italy 🇮🇹 and the way the lightning blasts destroy everything in the movie
*as always, THE CAMERAMAN IS NEVER HARMED*
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.
Os efeitos especias de antigamente eram muito mais melhores do que os de hoje em dia
Forçou
@@sucodemaracuja1 depende, antigamente eles usavam muita maquete e efeito prático, hoje é mais tudo computação
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.
That poor bridge!🌉
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
Now we need a horror movie about The Great Fire of London from 1666.
I totally watch it.
