*There was also a funny fireworks scene in the movie "Dutch", starring Ed O'Neil. He dances around with a Roman candle and other items.

*In "Home Alone" Macaulay Culkin, shot off a strip of firecrackers. In part 2, he sets off a bundle of Roman candles, in Central Park.

*"Joe Dirt", David Spade stops buy a Fireworks stand that sells only snakes and sparklers. Because, the proprietor of the stand only likes them.

*"Coneheads", bottle rocket scene

*"The Simpsons"(TV). Homer asks Apu about illegal fireworks. Apu shows Homer a huge stash.

Can anyone recall any movies & TV shows, that featured fireworks..?

"Jaws", the frenzied scene with all the boaters looking to catch the fish to collect the reward, a fisherman throws an M-80 into the water.

In an "Our Gang" episode, Porky uses his brother's magnifying glass to focus sunlight through the window on the firecrackers in Alfalfa's pocket while he recites "The Charge of the Light Brigade".

A 1932 episode of "Our Gang". The gang is traveling by train. Alfalfa let's a monkey loose, it then goes to the sleeping car; where the gang is sleeping. The monkey gets into their luggage and somehow sets off fireworks.

Then there's 'Ah Wilderness!' (1935). This is every kid's July 4th on steroids with close ups of all the fireworks that would have been used in the early 1900s including torpedoes, spit devils, HUGE salutes, rockets, Roman candles and of course strips of firecrackers - all in close-up glory. And yes, they were all real and all used on set as far as I understand. Back then July 4th started pretty much at sunrise waking up the parents and neighbors with near heart attack fervor. Out here it starts at 10AM :D

In an episode of Deadliest Catch there are firework wars between the ships. In one episode a character blows off several fingers with an artillery shell when it falls over and he picks it up by the mouth of the mortar.

Phantom Fireworks store at 1:16 in this music video. Not sure of the location possibly Florida is my guess. This song may have been a One Hit Wonder.

This episode of Gilligan's Island was always a favorite of mine. Not really fireworks either but explosives.

As a kid I had to have a magnifying glass after watching this one. Spent a summer as a kid burning anything I could with it.
