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.

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!

Spiders - death by bazooka.
Curse of the Komodo - death by napalm bomb missile stock footage.
King of the Lost World - they nuked King Kong!
Shark Attack 3 Megalodon - death by torpedo.

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

Cloverfield is a modern one.

I don't always talk about bad movies, but when I do, I prefer badmovies.org

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:

Return of the Living Dead

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.
