Cigarette, not a match, which is an important detail. Gasoline absolutely will ignite if you drop a burning match on it (assuming the match doesn't go out as it's falling).
If a movie shows a close-up slow motion shot of a match hitting the ground+igniting gasoline, it's probably "real", but the larger shot of the building or whatever going up is filmed separately. They usually use propane/natural gas for large fires because it can be piped in and turned on/off easily.
- gnicholas 4y agoAh yes, good point. So what is it different about a match and a cigarette? Is the latter always successful?
- boomboomsubban 4y agoA match has an open flame which burns at a higher temperature. Tobacco has a particularly low burning point I believe, many things would cause instant damage due to the temperature if smoked like a cigarette.
