Well, I don't think I have proper material around, but I was referring to
the stiff movement in the Y direction. There's no acceleration, it just
"turns on" at the moment it explodes, which looks computer generated.

Yeah .. ehm, I know the smoke doesn't rotate.. Only the camera does.. I was
interested in knowing if the whole thing would look worse, if the camera
didn't move.. In other words, if you added the movement to enhance the look
(would be a bad trick).  ;o)  And I think about, that maybe it wouldn't hurt
if the smoke itself rotated a bit.. I'm not sure that's realistic though,
but it seems to add "life" to the fire/smoke.
