A clip from the 1985 comedy Real Genius in which a laser ignites a giant container of popcorn inside a house.

Not recommended; commenters use it as a joke reference in threads about military lasers and similar technology.

Good to see it's for a nuclear fusion energy source, rather than say a 'star wars' weapon or popping popcorn[0]. [0] ▶ this video

I don't know if you're referencing it but that was the ending of Real Genius: ▶ this video [edit: possibly a spoiler?]

This scenario has been carefully explored since the mid-1980s. For clarification, are you made of popcorn? ▶ this video

Here the link I am referring to before I get 4 down votes. This "joke" actually is referring to something special. A 1980s movie about technology, military and academia. ▶ this video
