If you've seen the recent "Godzilla" trailers, you know that Las Vegas is among the many locations to get destroyed in the film.
如果你看过最近的《哥斯拉》预告片，你会发现拉斯维加斯也是这部影片中被毁掉的地方之一。
We've seen Hollywood destroy America from the East to West coasts on screen; however, no one's really tried to organize where, when, and how often different areas of the U.S. has been ravaged over the years.
Deadspin took a crack at it, and while they admit their list isn't perfect, it's a pretty great break down.
Deadspin做了这个尝试，虽然他们承认他们的列表不是完美的，但是这不失为一个伟大的突破。
The site reviewed A LOT of disaster flicks, from "King Kong" and "Deluge" in 1933 to last year's "Pacific Rim," categorizing disaster flicks into 10 sub-genres — Monster Attacks, Creature Attacks, Climactic Events (floods/tornadoes), Geologic Events (volcanoes/earthquakes), Infections, Mankind (terrorism/nukes), Alien Attacks, Space Rocks, Superhero Battles, and Sharknados (for fun).
They then plotted the 189 movie attacks across 10 maps to see where the most damage has occurred in the U.S. Unsurprisingly, most take place in Los Angeles and New York.
The middle of the country is most ravaged by naturally-occurring events including "Twister" (Oklahoma). However, we can never forget "The Day After Tomorrow" crippled both LA and NY.
How many times have you seen New York City destroyed onscreen? Los Angeles? Kansas? For nearly as long as there have been movies, there have been disaster movies. The map above shows 189+ such cinematic attacks—using a very broad definition of the "disaster" genre—that have afflicted various parts of the United States.
In keeping with the general scientific literature, geologic events—including volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis—are mostly concentrated on the Pacific Rim. Los Angeles has been destroyed by geologic events at least seven times, but New York, which is not on the Pacific Rim, has still managed to be destroyed by a tsunami (Deluge and Quantum Apocalypse), an earthquake(Aftershock), and a volcano (Disaster Zone).
Sometimes—in the case of invasions, terrorism, fires, and especially nukes—it turns out that MAN is the real disaster. This list doesn't include the many post-apocalyptic movies that make the same general point, but start after the disaster has taken place.
For obvious tactical reasons, alien attacks generally hit major metropolitan areas, particularly D.C. Independence Day set the standard, destroying New York, Los Angeles, Washington, and Houston in one go.
Superheroes have caused enough collateral damage in California and New York over the past decade that the clean-up crew might get its own movie. We know that the Transformers are aliens (or alien robots), but we're going by genre here—it's clearly a superhero battle.
