The moment when he picks them up off the mid-explosion truck gives me chills every time. The build-up is so good.

Except diesel doesn't explode like that. (I don't know what's wrong with me that I can't just enjoy movies.)

  • If you don't like that bit you should probably also fast forward the flying guy and the trucktop sword fight!

  • It’s computer world diesel. The swapped out for kerosine for efficiency, and the tank was 1/3rd full with a ton of high pressure vapor.

    Diesel doesn’t “explode”, but it can deflagrate very quickly with the right vapor conditions.

    • Alternatively, we've seen them do things like replace all the doors and windows in a building with bricks when no one's looking.

      Maybe they loaded the truck up with a variety of explosives as it was driving down the highway.
