Best spaceship Crash

[RobertScorpio]

I happen to be going through the channels last night and I came across PITCH BLACK. I liked this movie when it came out, and it held up...but the best part was that crash scene at the start..it looked real...best SCI-space crash..IMO..

Off the top of my head:

*Star Trek: Generations with the Enterprise-D

 

[captcalhoun]

Voyager in "Timeless"

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

DS9, when Sisko and crew crash in the Jem Hadar ship, the shot of the ship descending was great.

Admiral Piett's ship tumbling down into the Death Star (and the A-Wing that brought it down.)

The last moments of the Pegasus.

 

[Hyperspace05]

Pitch Black is hard to beat in this aspect... While other shows/movies may show nice external shots of crashes, none of them gives you that feeling of "being there" as Pitch Black does in its opening scene.

Voyager in "Timeless"

First one I thought of when I saw the thread title.

 

[butch101]

Voyager in "Timeless", Ent D in "Generations" and Serenity. Pretty cool.

Voyager's kamakaze run in "Year of Hell pt. 2"

 

[Mr Light]

Pitch Black is definitely the most visceral. I would also mention the Pegasus' suicide ram in BSG and the Invisible Hand crashing in Revenge of the Sith.

Voyager in "Timeless"

Though normally a ship hitting a planetary surface at full impulse would be scatter across a very large area (and there's before the warp core breached).

Spaceship crash: original Planet of the Apes. On a large movie screen it was quite disorienting.

Airplane crash: Cast Away. Scared the hell out of me, it was so real.

The Enterprise-D in Generations, and the Scorpio from Blake's 7 pretty good when you consider it was a low budget 70's space show.

I loved it when the Super Star Destroyer crashed into the Death Star in ROTJ.

Loved it when I was a kid, love it now.

 

[Twilight]

Airplane crash: Cast Away. Scared the hell out of me, it was so real.

Ooof, yeah, good call. That was an absolutely brilliantly done scene - by far the best plane crash ever committed to film.

It was absolutely terrifying - made more so by the fact that you only saw it happen from the inside. Helluva sequence.

 

[Kirkman1987]

off the top of my head I'm going to go with the ship in Aliens.

...the Scorpio from Blake's 7 pretty good when you consider it was a low budget 70's space show.

For some reason, I find myself thinking of a rather messy Eagle transporter crash from Space: 1999 too...

Glad someone mentioned Scorpio...actually when you compare Scorpio and the Ent D side by side it's hard to imagine one probably cost a thousand times more than the other!

I gather that comes down the approach. When an Eagle crashed, they crashed and blew up the model thought the model work to start with was pretty top notch (no doubt due to the earlier work done for Anderson by Derek Meddings).

Generations Enterprise D crash

Thunderbird 2 been shot out of the sky.

 

[Vonstadt]

Im gonna second the 'splashdown' crash of Taylor's ship from the Original Planet of the Apes movie, very neat beginning to the film!

Though I also was very much impressed with the ramming of the EAS Roanoke by the EAS Churchill in Babylon 5 during the Earth Alliance's attempt to take the station. The image as well as the music that accompanied the scene was chilling.
