Top 10 Explosions the Michael Bay way

Michael Bay has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most bombastic and wild action directors of all time. His last film, Transformers 2, was two full hours of testosterone-fueled carnage and action sequences. Here’s a painstakingly-collected list of Bay’s best action scenes. 

THE ROCK – Sean Connery drives a black Hummer through the streets of San Francisco while being chased by an army of black FBI vehicles and a yellow Ferrari. The Hummer crashes through a number of cars, buildings, and a San Francisco trolley. The FBI cars, unable to stop in time, flip haphazardly over the wreckage and on top of each other.

ARMAGEDDON – Hundreds of huge meteors pelt a helpless 1997 New York City, completely eviscerating famous landmarks such as the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Station.
