The blast used 68.47 tonnes (68470 kg) of TNT equivalent and was the result of detonating 8,418 litres of kerosene with 33 kg of powder explosives. The film was produced by Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday said James Bond movies push cinematic boundaries. Chris Corbould is an Academy Award winning special effects and miniature effects supervisor. For example, three of the four highest grossing Bond movies were all set in the 1960s with just a three year span in between releases: “Thunderball”, “Dr. No” and “You Only Live Twice”.
Local Bond fans are in for a treat as anyone who goes to see new film Spectre at the Hippodrome in Bo’ness will have the chance to see a real life Bond vehicle up close and personal.
Spectre, which has taken box offices worldwide by storm, opened at the number one spot in all 71 territories, with the United Kingdom responsible for a third of all worldwide ticket sales so far. The action scenes, although overly plentiful and sometimes drawn-out, were very exciting and were accompanied by a very well done musical score that incorporated elements from old school James Bond and modern day action films.
The film has received mixed reviews, numerous critics either gave the film a good or negative score. No spoilers, but things happen that require you to believe that they are legitimately in love, and despite being the longest Bond ever at 148 minutes, there is just not enough development in there for anyone to buy that.
The name of the film itself throws back to the franchise’s first entry, 1962’s “Dr. No”, where the secret criminal organization SPECTRE was born, setting up a handful of storylines to come in subsequent films and a welcome display of respect and affection for films past in this new adventure.

Since all of Bond films share a continuing storyline, this should be the most stirring moment in the Craig era. Rumors about Daniel Craig leaving the role started when a few of his comments made it seem like he was done. Its opening brought in million (about £48 million, AU$104 million), second only to its predecessor, “Skyfall”.
