First of all not a single photo in this entire thread has followed the rules and been properly credited. Whole thread should be deleted.

Secondly, I am not of the school that is offended by fictional destruction just because I have witnessed it in reality. What does offend me is that virtually every photo posted here lacked a city name or the movie it came from. Regardless if I knew most of them, thats just laziness and stupidity on the posters part.

And finally...

ANYWHO.

All pictures from http://www.jimusnr.com/

Los Angeles destroyed in the 1974 classic Earthquake.















I'm sure we all remember LA getting nuked in Terminator 2 in 1992.





New York City engulfed by a tidal wave in 1998's Deep Impact.











1998's Armageddon's creepy 9/11 premonition.

I couldn't find a still photo, but someone (Dallascaper) put a 5 minute video of Dallas getting smacked by an asteroid in the TV movie... Asteroid.

At a 1:20 into it there's a great shot of the Reunion Tower getting smacked.
Lots of DART light rail foo as well...

Wasn't there a movie in the 1980s that had a flying dragon
living in the top of the Chrysler Building?

Anyone have any pics of that?

Geez... they're gargoyles on Notre Dame. A simple google search for "gargoyles Notre Dame" will show similar views.

If you go back to the top of this page the older movie model cities look much more realistic than the modern movie CG still shots.

I've been looking for a screencap of the scene in Waterworld where they swim through the ruined city (supposedly Denver), but can't find one.

Not any destroyed, but does anyone have any photos of Star War's plant Coruscant above the atmosphere (out in space) showing the night side of the planet?

No caps, but the movie you're thinking of was "Q".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084556/

Fantastic idea for a thread. I still think the wave destroying NYC in Deep Impact is the scariest special effect I've ever seen at the movies.
