Spectre breaks Guinness World Record for largest ever stunt explosion on film

According to them the Bond films always push cinematic boundaries.

“It is absolutely tremendous that the Guinness World Records have recognized Chris Corbould’s incredible work in Spectre in which he created the largest explosion ever in film history”, stated producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

During a press conference in Beijing, Daniel Craig and his “Spectre” co-star Lea Seydoux received a record certificate for the Largest Film Stunt Explosion. The scene was filmed in Erfoud, Morocco, and takes place in the film right after Bond (Daniel Craig) and his love interest Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) escape from a Spectre lair located in a meteorite crater. The explosion used 8,418 liters of kerosene along with 33 kilograms of powdered explosives.

But beyond the old-school style of the film, there are also plenty of simple Spectre Easter eggs that merely reference earlier James Bond films without getting in your face about it. See if you caught all the Easter eggs after the jump, but beware of spoilers. Its opening brought in million (about £48 million, AU$104 million), second only to its predecessor, “Skyfall”. There’s a really good long shot at the beginning of the film and looks like it was all done with practical effects for the most part. On Metacritic the film has a rating of 60 out of 100, which means mixed or average reviews. In it, James Bond (Daniel Craig, “Cowboys & Aliens”) is on a mission to uncover a sinister organization after finding a cryptic message from the recently deceased M (Judi Dench, “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel”).

We pick up Bond chasing after someone bad in Mexico City during the Day of the Dead celebration.

Craig has made headlines for not exactly being enthusiastic about returning to play 007 for a fifth time-and he does seem a bit tired in this fourth go-around. He did not confirm that he was done but rumors surfaced again after his latest comments.

If you haven’t yet Spectre, then turn away now.

His screen time in “Spectre” is minimal, but his eerie presence is felt throughout the movie, thanks to both Waltz’s performance and the film’s well-crafted and edited story. Of course we know Bond is going to come out of the situation alive when the movie is only half over, but when he continuously escapes harrowing feats unscathed, there is even less to worry about.
