Scene help

[starrylizard]

Can anyone name a movie or TV show where someone jumps into a swimming pool or other body of water to avoid an explosion or fire and you see an underwater scene of the flames rolling over the top of the pool?

I am sure I've seen this in action movies, but my brain has gone blank. I could really use a scene like this, so if anyone can help me... please do. :D

Mwa xx

Hm, I thought I remembered such scene from Lethal Weapon (possibly number 2) but I can't find it. There were many explosions and jumping in the water in the series.

There's of course alo Die Hard franchise where I could've seen it, or some other Bruce Willis movie. Oh, and once I had a dream of exactly what you described. It was visually awesome, but I'm sorry to say it isn't recorded anywhere:-)

For some reason, I would check out the older action movies... Gibson, Willis... maybe even Indiana Jones, although nah. Probably not that one:-)

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help, hopefully someone else will find just the right stuff:-)

Thanks! Yes, those movies are a good place to start! :D

Die Hard 3, jumping off the boat into the ocean before it blows up.

Dammit, I don't have the Die Hard movies. Gonna check out The Rock and see if that one will do first, but I think Die Hard may be the one I remember so vividly. Thanks! :)

The Rock, Nic Cage and Sean Connery jump into some water as something blows up.

Mimic - at the the male lead jumps/falls into water as something goes boom.

I'm not sure if the oilrig explodes in an episode of the X files and Mulder and Dogget jump (not sure what scenes they filmed been a while)

Diehard 3 - not sure if you see from underwater either.

*Goes to stare at DVDs*

Blade 2 in the sewer when all the light grenades explode there's water and I'm sure someone must duck! lol

Tomorrow Never Dies? - did anything explode before/while heading under water to save Michelle?

The Long Kiss Goodnight - jump out a window and see flames above them as they fall - then they land in an icy lake lol

I feel like I should know more!!

Oh I have The Rock. Gonna check there first. :D
I don't have the others to clip them, but I'll see if I can find the scenes on Youtube to check them out. Thanks!

Just the end part of Mimic seems to be blocked on all the uploads but I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjv5GQtJTEw

Oooh that's good. I'm trying to dl it off youtube. :)

Do you remember where the explosion happens in The Rock? I'm flicking through a youtube copy (http://youtu.be/RumVe__gpx4), cos I'm too lazy to head down to the tv. LOL

Edit: Found it! (http://youtu.be/RumVe__gpx4?t=12m38s) I think. Not quite what I'm after, but still...

After 12.40 is an explosion and then another so keep watching till about 14 mins - there's a shot from under water

I think there's a scene like that in the recent A-Team movie. I can see the exact scene you're describing in my head, just not 100% sure I've got the right film, is all!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll see if Youtube can help me check it out. :D

True Lies has that exact scene. I just checked by watching it online and it's at the 106:28 mark, watch here : http://www.novamov.com/video/4aa575179fe0d (takes a long ass time to load though).

Um, I think I saw that in Psych, 6x02, jumping off the balcony of a hotel room into the pool. Pretty sure anyway.
