In action movies, it has become almost mandatory that if an aquarium is shown at any point, the aquarium will inevitably be destroyed, spilling the water and all the poor fish it contains out onto the floor. Sometimes this is the result of collateral damage, the fish tank was merely in the way, and sometimes the destruction of the tank is intentional, with the fish - always some deadly and often poisonous species - being used as weapons themselves. Occasionally Played for Laughs in comedies, but this is rare. For the outdoor version, see Big Dam Plot. Examples of Exploding Fishtanks include:
