Toho Kingdom

My favorite (though not the "best") is from King Kong vs. Godzill. When Kong begins to wake up on the raft, they have to shoot the dynamite to blow it up. I don't know why, but it sticks out a lot in my memory.

The industrial fight scene in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is also spectacular. Explosions...explosions everywhere.

I agree, one of my favs.

Terror of Mechagodzilla had the best pyrotechnics for me, sereously these would have made Michael Bay proud. Godzilla vs Destroyah is a close second.

Every explosion in Final Wars, and Baragon's death in GMK.

Add the ridiculous highway explosion from Prophecies of Nostradmus, King Ghidorah's raid on Tokyo in Ghidrah, and the destruction of Tokyo in Terror of Mechagodzilla to my favorites.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to mention the destroyer of films.

I really liked what was in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.

Hey......nobody's the destroyer of films. Hollywood movies are still alive today Mr. X

On Topic: Best Explosions:

Mechagodzilla blowing up Tokyo in Terror of Mechagodzilla
Godzilla & Mechagodzilla's first fight in the oil refinery
Godzilla's escape from Mt Mihara in GvsB

Anything in the path of Showa MechaG's All-Out Assault or Burning G's meltdown ray.

Also, the missile attack on GMK Goji is cool. Especially how the flames wrap around and consume him. And he returns the favor of awesome explosives in the "final battle" (read: annihilation) with the military.

Yeah, Showa Mechagodzilla FTW. The 70's pyrotechnics kicked ass, and I have no idea why the rest of the series doesn't have more explosions similar to these.

Godzilla 2000 had some nice blasts too, especially in the final shot.

The destruction of the Natal Mothership in Battle in Outer Space is actally pretty Star Wars-esque

The atomic bomb in Godzilla Raids Again.

This random, gnarly blast of flame from TOMG's trailer:

Wow I feel bad for the people in that saucer. There was NO way out of that situation XD

Moguera's death in "Vs. Spacegodzilla"

^That was indeed a good one.

I also like Orga's death in G2K. And the way that Godzilla roars at his remains and they collapse is a nice touch.

The Super X-2 crashing and exploding in GvB was pretty biggg

The MU empire exploding at the end of Atragon.

All GMK asplosions (yeah, asplosions)

Godzilla blowing up the city at the end of Godzilla 2000 was pretty bad ass.
