What do you think of movies that end in an orgy of destruction perpetrated by the good guys?

Animal House, Blues Brothers, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, etc, etc.
It's a bit of a cop-out, but who's keeping score by the end of movie anyway?

"Hot Fuzz"

As long as there's an orgy of destruction, I'm not bothered who's perpetrating it.

I want to say Die Hard but those movies ARE orgies of destruction perpetuated by the good guys all the way through.

seven samurai vs ikiru

where does the Wild Bunch fit into this

all bad guys

― sexyDancer, Friday, 27 April 2007 15:57 (eighteen years ago)

except that "orgy of destruction" is a bit simplistic, isn't it? Destroying the tools of evil can be just fine. Where does Where Eagles Dare fit into this?

I think it depends on the movie and the nature of the "good" guys (which seems questionable in a number of the movies listed so far). I love 70s/80s teen rebel movies tho so Over the Edge/RnR High School-style teen destructo-rampage = a-okay with me

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

CARRIE!

but yeah, those 70's-80's high school destructo flicks probably couldn't get made anymore post-school shootings... or am I forgetting something more recent?

― chris, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:54 (eighteen years ago)

except they never really take it out on other students, its always about rebelling against the parents/teachers

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

well, in heathers and carrie they did but those bitches deserved it...

― chris, Friday, 27 April 2007 18:57 (eighteen years ago)

but carrie + christian slater aren't exactly "good guys" and yeah, it's an empty school that gets blown up/burned down in R&R High School + Over The Edge if I recall correctly
