So real explosions are: - Short - Loud crack - Fireball that's about 30% larger than explosive but lasts like half a second. - Shock wave doesn't throw you, instead basically knocks you down. - Shock wave will likely rupture your lungs. - Ears and Lungs are affected most - If you blow up a house fireballs will be about 1-2 seconds long. There will be small fires around. - Most dangerous thing is fragmentation that will practically blend you. Notes: - Shooting a gas tank will not make it explode - Pulling a pin with your teeth will basically be very awkward and embarrassing because it's very tough. May break your teeth.
Some body not only will pulling the pin make you look like a dumbass you’ll break your teeth
He said you wouldn´t be able to pull the pin with your teeth. You would NOT pull the pin, ONLY break your teeth. It could be right. When you see actual footage of people using grenades, they do really jank very hard on the pin.
Used grenades. If you attempt to pull pin with teeth, those teeth go away forever and you still have an unarmed grenade.
It should be noted that what exactly happens with an explosion differs depending on a number of variables.
"So real explosions are: " "- Short " Instant. Not short. Instant. "- Loud crack " Yes. "- Fireball that's about 30% larger than explosive but lasts like half a second." No, an instant shockwave and then all you see is the smoke. The fireball is too fast to see except occasionally. "- Shock wave doesn't throw you, instead basically knocks you down." No, it turns your body into a bunch of unrecognizable pieces that simply fall down. "- Shock wave will likely rupture your lungs. " If it doesn't instantly kill you... Which it most likely will... "- Ears and Lungs are affected most " And the rest of your body which is turned into... I don't even know... A bunch of pieces... "- If you blow up a house fireballs will be about 1-2 seconds long. There will be small fires around. " If it's Gasoline then it will just burn down very quick. If you are talking about HE then no, the house will instantly shatter into a billion pieces. There won't be a fireball. Just smoke and fragments everywhere. "- Most dangerous thing is fragmentation that will practically blend you." True. Notes: "- Shooting a gas tank will not make it explode " True,
He should at least note that the explosion in Dark Knight was a real demolition of a real building in Chicago
True but he only went over the setup stage. He probably didnt go over that part since it was real, no need to tweak perfection.
Also he assumed joker was the one that planted the bombs, but he does have a crew and it’s not like joker does busy work
That's probably how it got 6/10

Hey....he meant the explosions were almost real, but practically placing those explosives for blowing up the building that way may have been difficult.....so just considering the explosions it should be 6.5 atleast
So what I'm getting here is that comedies are the most realistic movies.

Mythbusters ANFO truck, there one second gone the next. Which explains why they used tubs of gasoline in movies instead, that is the only way you get to see anything.
Love when the experts analyze impossible things "He regenerates, so I guess you could walk away from this?"
It's only impossible in our own universe, but judging things based on the internal consistency and internal rules and logic of a piece of fiction makes a lot of sense. It just depends on which parts they telegraph as being "not like logic in our world". There's no real reason why explosions would work any differently in, say, X-men, but they do make clear that the way Wolverine works isn't like in our world, i.e. he regenerates. So then it's a matter of taking that internal logic into account.

Imagine how cool it gotta to be having “Explosive Engineer“ in your work resume
@Councilman Les Wynan I disagree. A lot of infrastructure work uses controlled detonations. I mean not all the the time but I've never seen an "Explosives Engineer" major at any universities, so there's not a lot of people to call either I'd imagine. And you can probably do contract work with the military or maybe he is in the military.
If I could only go back in time and tell my younger self that there's such a thing as an Explosive Engineer.
Or anything other than unemployed

@@vielarcrom4934 what kind of explosives expert?
Hey he didn’t rate the explosion in Indiana Jones he just rated Indy’s survivability! That explosion was a 10!
Yeah, the explosion itself was clearly inspired by real nuclear test footage making it one of the most realistic nukes in movies ever.
That's an awesome point my friend.
nice Bakuretsu!
Miffed Max thank you! Finally someone says that!
I think he doesn't just rate the explosion per se but also its effects on the persons and things in the scene..
Appropriately for a video about explosions, this expert is HOT.

Jigga Boo I was 2 months old when that movie came out
@Jigga Boo yeah but the explosion it self isnt unrealistic so the fact that it just got 1 star is confusing me
I love how comedies are that making fun how Hollywood portrays explosions, are also the most accurate.
Yeah in a way to make fun of unrealistic movie actions
The most ridiculous thing about this is trying to blow up a fuel tank on a moving truck. Dude, what did the truck driver ever do to you? He is just trying to make a living.
There is endless 4th wall breaking material for anyone who wants to point out how dumb most movies are if you bring in enough experts. It is not just explosions, military gargin, or how people actually do their jobs, but what plants/animals you see/hear for a specific region of the world.
The Dark Knight explosion was actually real though. The scene where the explosion stops and Joker starts to fiddle with the button, then he flinches as the explosions start up again, was actually improvised. Something went wrong with the explosion sequence so that's actually Heath Ledger flinching IRL at an exploding building that 20 ft away.
Just because it was a real explosion doesn't mean it was a realistic explosion. Real explosives do not produce giant fireballs like you see in movies. You have to add a bunch of, well, essentially fireworks to the mix.
@@MrRizeAG They add propane to the mix to allow for those effects. typically it's propane canons. In that case I think it was just canisters that were meant for the effect and wouldn't be lost in the building they demolished for the scene.
The expert never said the explosion was unrealistic, he just said that it would be extremely expensive and would require a lot of time
Urban myth. The second delayed explosion was even in the script and story board.
That whole scene was planned though. That theory has been debunked, they waited so everybody on set could move away since the explosion was gonna be real
It would be cool to have these experts critique movie scenes and then bring one scene themselves that they think if the best in terms of being realistic
Imagine having this guy watch Michael Bay movies with you.
I will hate my life

Old school movie. Blown away.
Dejango!
Or Children of Men. Opening scene has an incredibly realistic portrayal of an terroristic bombing.
The Joker part... Joker has henchmen everywhere, it is likely he had people planting the explosives in the hospital before causing them to be evacuated.
For Transformers, the people aboard the aircraft are the real crew usually manning it, and he just told them what the end result had to be and let them do the talking as they would in real life. That's why the radio traffic is VERY accurate.
Yeah Bay has a great relationship with the DoD and he's never been turned down when asking for Military Aid in making his films. The Pentagon views them as recruitment ads.
Yea its promotion to the world. As funny as it sounds it's actually true and not an assumption
1.5/10
Indiana Jones doesn’t die of radiation sickness because he drank from the Holy grail.
Damien333 Good job on pointing it out. I, and seemingly many people, had kind of forgotten!
Except; and also stated in the movie by the Knight guarding the grail: The magic of The holy Grail only works IF you stay guarding The Holy Grail.
Christian Münster so, if what you’re saying is true, Henry Jones should have died of the gunshot right after he left the tomb, right? But he did not
I have no faith in humanity if you can’t even navigate the basic elements of the plot in “the Last Crusade” it’s not complicated. Go watch the movie again. Sr. was healed from his wounds in the temple. After he crossed the seal (warned by the knight) the eternal life is no longer possible. Since Henry senior (Sean Connery) was clearly healed from his wounds he just becomes a normal healthy man walking out of the tomb. You are not under divine protection when you don’t follow the simple rules the movie stated. Thus they are both mortal again. Any subsequent injury could be fatal. Go read a book.
My boy. He's thee Joker, the man can do anything easily. He plans ahead!
He had prep time
For dark knight, he literally just criticized the set-up without any comment on the explosion itself.
LITERALLY
The explosion itself wasn't realistic either.

The Dark Knight scene is real, they actually blew up a old factory. Also the Joker has a lot of followers/henchmen that will plant the explosives for him.
Captain Communism his issue wasn’t that you could rig a hospital for demolition; his issue was that you wouldn’t be able to disguise all the charges so that it went unnoticed by SOMEONE in the hospital.
Actualllly
I'm sorry but I dont believe this dude at all
@@blake60ah41 the hospital was being evacuated. That would make it easy to send some guys in with police/nurse/maintenance uniforms. Also there are O2 tanks on every single floor, usually stockpiled in a single supply room as backups or when transporting patients. Stick a single charge on each sector's O2 tank stockpile as well as on the main O2 tank that feeds the hardlined room O2. Boom

The Joker didn't set those explosives, his men did. The same men who drove that bus away.
Yeah. He also mentioned that it would be expensive and Joker wouldnt be able to get the explosives. I guess he forgot that Joker robbed the bank at the beginning of the film...
Also a little confused on how Indiana Jones was rated 1 star when he praised it fairly well?
Juan I guess he was bothered enough about how unrealistic walking away from a nuclear bomb was that it overrode any realistic elements of the blast.
I think, he made the comments and someone else gave the ratings.

One thing he didn't mention is that all these explosions seem to be gasoline/petrol based. Gas explosions tend to look bigger and scarier because of that immense fireball they create, but they really aren't that dangerous to structures. Explosions created by dynamite like in Django Unchained or demolition charges like in The Dark Knight don't create that fireball, and military carpet bombs like in Transformers DEFINITELY don't. Movies just use those sort of gasoline explosions because they look cooler and they're cheaper.
also explosions dosnt set things on fire lol ,buildings dont combust because of dynamite or c4 explosions ,its more of a shock based explosion than a petrol based one
I tried to burn some (25ml) diesel in a crucible as a disposal method since you're not allowed to pour it in the waste or down a drain and my car is petrol. Bunsen burner blue flame on the top for 15 seconds did not ignite it. Vodka ignites more easily. I had to heat it underneath for 20 seconds or so until it started to fume, them heat the to which caught fire. Pulled the flame away and the diesel fire went out. So added heat to the top again for another 10-15 seconds. Finally it was able to self sustain. I know it's because there oxygen supply wasn't good since it's in a small metal cup, but still surprising. It did burn for about an hour though, which vodka does not. Also unhappy that it left a thick black sludge to dispose of. Currently planning on adding it to roofing tar.
@@markp8295 Drink it next time
Unless those are napalm..
Probably propane in most cases, and not really a detonation. Just a large accumulation of propane set on fire to create a huge fireball. From what I've seen of grenades, mines and such they produce no fireball at all. Gasoline would produce a thick black smoke almost immediately, and would probably be illegal due to the pollution factor.

I'm hoping you could do a review of explosions in tunnels, in movies, sometime. I've seen a lot of movies get this way wrong many times. I was with some people (I've long since forgotten and lost track of) who liked to urban explore in the tunnels along the Mississippi river back in the 1980s. One of the people had placed an explosive in a brick wall, hoping to widen the way around it. Every one waited around a corner about 100 yards down the tunnel. When the blast went off everyone instantly and involuntarily sat on the ground. Just all at once everyone's legs just went limp. The shock wave traveling along the tunnel was enough to cause the involuntary sit on the ground response, that I've never seen any movie ever get right.
Every explosion scene ever has the good guy walking away perfectly fine like a bad-ass while a fireball burns behind them

I’d love to see a professional critique on the various types of low and high explosives and the interpretation that Hollywood puts on them in special effects.
So the most realistic ones were comedies. Interesting
Conclusion: Reality isn't as funny as a movie.
Don't know why you have to include jews for some reason but ok
In regard to the joker scene he had 70 million dollars and corrupt people inside. Implied at least.
He burned his 70 million...
Jacky The Jocker yes, but he stole 60 something million in the first 20 minutes. Remember the pencil scene?
Exactly ✌🏻
Joker had tonnes of corrupt people working for him as seen through out the movie. The movie never implies he personally put every charge in the hospital. Same is the case with the charges put in the ferries.
This is the only one that made me second guess as well. If anyone has those kind of resources, it's the Joker.

He probably didn't see the movie and they probably didn't show him that part because that's what I said too
it would only explain the flames but not the explosion managing to demolish the whole building, but as he said he could have had more explosives hooked somewhere else...
A house filled with the right mix of natural gas and regular air can totally explode from the rapid combustion / expansion. Also, a flame cannot travel through a gas line because there's no oxygen in there.
Those lanterns aren't natural gas, they're oil or kerosene. You could get a fireball with kerosene, but there's nowhere near enough oil in those lamps to create such a large fireball.
As soon as I saw his reaction to the grenade explosion I was on board, having grown up on Hollywood SFX I was disappointed at how underwhelming a real grenade detonation is, it's more like a puff of smoke, a shed load of flying metal followed by a low key bang.
6:03 marking the target and dropping the energetic load on top of it. Well played
Was really hoping he'd have more to say on Dark Knight's scene since it used actual explosives on a real building
Favorite part of that scene was finding out there was an actual unexpected timing issue, and Heath the absolute mad lad played it off perfectly
Joker has a good amount of cash he stole and he has his crew who look like somewhat normal human beings.
Yes, true and the hospital was empty so they would not have to hide the dynamite (or whatever type of explosion stuff it probably was )
Indeed. His points didn't really talk about the explosion itself. But glad to hear that a superhero movie is realistic.
Also, after the Dark Knight Rises, I assumed that this was the prototype for the concrete laced with explosives and had been constructed with the explosives in place all along. Seems like the typical long playing game the Joke would run or at least try and hijack from the league of assassins.
cash and look like somewhat normal beings would not help you too much. Workers of that hospital would notice that you are not one of them and u instaling some strange stuff in hospital and that is not some public place where u can leave what ever u want(and you would need "good amount" of explosives to destroy whole building with explosives if u not instaling them inside walls or pillars that have holes drilled specialy for that and you need "good amount" of time to do that...).
@@Bialy_1 given this is Gotham, you're forgetting how easily bribable most of the people are. most of the police force can not even be trusted. he had the crew to do it, money to bribe for extra measure. factor in once again that most of the hospitals were already being evacuated. he only had to target the one hospital, and more than half the crew easily could have been on the payroll with no real affect to their conscience knowing they were also moving people OUT of the hospital, so they wouldn't feel too bad about it blowing up.
Cool video. Was hoping to see the demolition shape charge explosion in Heat, wonder how realistic that was.
I’m gonna need more videos from this guy, please 😍
Perfect man to answer whether 9/11 was an "inside job" or not. Edit: shit, I'm sorry y'all.
Unfortunately most people suspend their conventional knowledge to create or sustain a reality that is emotionally copabale..... I do suspect thought that he's already fully aware that planes cannot bring down buildings and that the THREE 911 towers were not only classic, but expertly engineered controlled demolitions..... If me, as a regular degular software engineer was able to price this together with my limited college level physics understanding, then someone who specializes in things blowing up of course is able to preace this together
@moo So you're attacking a digital representation of a person you don't know rather than the ideology that person was proposing..... I don't expect you to see how this makes you look incapable of defending your position with actual substance.... Assuming you have a position.... To which I'd like to ask, what's your thought son 9/11?
moo well said
@@Wade_Fucking_Wilson He called me an idiot... You usually say well said in response to evidence based retorts to specific idelogies
leon scott That’s because l agree with him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Why didn't he review Hurt Locker??
I miss that one... how not action movies deal with explosions
@@dandalo ikr, and Jeremy Renner is so good in that movie
BleizIt Channel because it's accurate. But I don't really know there are probably some faults somewhere in the movie.
I was really expecting them to
KYXER The Hurt Locker did have some of the most realistic explosions in Hollywood. However, it is also laughably inaccurate in terms of how it portrays the activities of EOD personnel and military operations in Iraq in general.
That Indiana Jones scene is literally just Nuketown from COD lol
This was the first one of these videos I really didn't like. Which is weird, it's always great hearing an expert explain stuff, and also.. explosions.
I bet this guy is fun at parties.....
MD Fish Tanks yikes
Bet he's good at getting the ladies.
@@GreenFalcon926 lol he might be hes pretty cute
he seems like a chill dude
Lol he is paid to do this :)) Isn't his intention tho
I'm not gonna lie, this video really blew me away.
Donald Trump go back to building the wall
The best thing you have said. Though, it was hard to pay attention after, "I'm not gonna lie..."
Donald Trump keep up the hard work Mr President 👍👍
Thank you Donald, very cool!
You’re not the real Donald trump but good job on getting that username first👌
AMazing video! I must admit I hate the old Blow something up, walk towards the camera slowly cliché on films. It got old rather fast and still shocked when I see it used in modern films.
Need another one of these, with a 100% realistic explosion in one.
You gave transformers a 4.5 out of 10, but the nuclear blast from Indiana Jones a 1 out of 10 really. Besides the whole fridge bit it was quite realistic.
sure, especially if you imagine it melting over him from the heat
@@seess8251 the melting point of lead is 621.4°F I really dought it
He flies a fcking kilometer in a fridge what is realistic about it?
@@boriskaraivanov6165 the explosion itself
Yes if there wasn't the fridge bit it would probably be much better
4:57 you can see the effects over Megan Fox's body lmao
Wow this is bad bad
True lol
Bet they were hoping the titties would distract
He’s finding plot holes in The Dark Knight
As a wise man said, “Art is an explosion, un!”
