"Terminator 2" and Explosions


I'm thankful for "Terminator 2" (1991), the only action movie I can think of that took the time to show us how a fiery explosion could plausibly occur after a major vehicular collision: two, quick closeup shots of a battery lead sparking, igniting the leaking fuel behind it.


As an aside: I've been looking at T2, frame by frame, ever since its CAV LaserDisc release and this is the first time I ever noticed the first shot of this GIF has added (digital) camera shake, to help with the edit and better tie it in with the chaos of the preceding crash shots.)
