I can't tell you the number of times I have seen a movie with a monster in it and the way people get rid of it is by blowing it up.  We've all seen it before, the Jaws series, Tremors series, Deep Blue Sea, and tons of others.  How many movies can you think of where a person deals with a killer creature of sorts by blowing it up?

Two movies that come to my mind instantly are Blood Beach and Eight Legged Freaks.  The police force I think blows up the monster by an abondeon area and all the spiders blow up when a character sents off the natural gas in the mine in Eight Legged Freaks.

Yeah, napalm can count as well.

In SLUGS: THE MOVIE (as opposed to, say, THE MUSICAL), an army of killer slugs in the sewers is eradicated by the sewers being blown up!  To hell with your toilets/sinks, we're taking out these grimy gastropods!

Too many B-movies from the 50's and 60's to name.

Cloverfield is a modern one.

In Kronos , it's established that trying to blow up the robot will only make it stronger. Pretty sure this was true of a couple of other films too. Blowing up the monster would only make it worse...The Blob?

But fitting with the topic, there's:

King Dinosaur- Astronauts are sent to a newly discovered planet and find that it has an Earth-like atmosphere and an area that is inhabited by dinosaurs.  Could this be a wonderful scientific discovery?  Nope. Dinosaurs are big and scary, so they dropped an atomic bomb on them.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
