The blast is part of an especially climactic scene in the 24th Bond film Spectre.

We just recently featured a countdown of every single kill in the entirety of the franchise (with the exception of Spectre), and now it’s time to look at the gadgets that made many of those kills possible. While they all have explosions, the latest Bond film, Spectre, is taking things to a new level, and has claimed the Guinness World Record for the largest film stunt explosion in history.
But during the press tour for the latest Bond film, “Spectre”, Daniel Craig was quoted saying that he would “rather break this glass and slit my wrists” than to step into the world of the famous spy again. Even “Quantum of Solace”, the derided second Craig Bond film, had more of a pulse and a beating heart somewhere amid its revenge fantasia.
Spectre, starring Craig, Christopher Waltz, Ben Whishaw and Lea Seydoux, is in United Kingdom cinemas now. 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. It may not be as strong as the previous entry in the franchise, but barring a few massive collapse, this Bond film will see a profit when all is said and done.
In both Spectre and Skyfall, James Bond finds himself face-to-face with an enemy that is fairly new to the series: modernity.

The film has received mixed reviews, numerous critics either gave the film a good or negative score. There were no other wide releases the weekend it opened, whereas “Spectre” had to contend with the launch of “The Peanuts Movie”. The film has been praised for having plenty of action and its opening scene. “Mendes was asked about his remarks, saying: “…my analogy is, you’re running your first marathon, and 200 yards from the finish line, a few guy shouts, “Are you going to run another one straight away?” There is a good level of brooding, the typical suave nature of a Bond, but there was also a level of enjoyment to Craig’s performance. Let us know in the comments.
