VIDEO: James Bond SPECTRE Breaks Explosive World Record
The latest James Bond blockbuster, SPECTRE, has broken yet another world record, and this one has nothing to do with box office grosses.
SPECTRE has been awarded a Guinness World Record for the Largest Film Stunt Explosion. The big bang in question (cue Roger Moore raising an eyebrow) was filmed for a pivotal scene in the film and took place on 29 June 2015 in Erfoud, Morocco, and used 8,418 litres of fuel and 33kg of explosives. The effect was overseen by Chris Corbould, special effects and miniature effects supervisor on SPECTRE.

Guardians Of The Gallery: Jurassic World ’70s-style, Superhero Weaknesses & More
A round of some of the best, weirdest and silliest images and vids that have been doing the rounds on the net we like to call inter this past week…
••• Superhero and supervillain’s weaknesses chart, courtesy of morphsuits.com.
••• Star Wars shower heads. Perfect for after a session in the trash compactor up to your armpits in dianoga poo. They’re available from Oxygenics. Click on the image for a larger version. [via ComicBookResources]
••• Man creates Thor’s hammer for real (kinda)…
••• Star Wars shoes, available to buy from 30 October at Irregular Choice, a UK outlet. No Prices yet (someone asked on their Facebook page but they remained mysteriously quiet) but they look really expensive to us. And anybody else think the heels on the second ones down look a little like robot Beakers from The Muppets?
••• Not one but two Jurassic World skits now, the first of which is absolutely brilliant as it uses some great stock footage to produce what a trailer for the ’70s version of the film might have been like. The latest Screen Junkies Honest Trailer is the usual fun, but not one of their sharpest and waaaaaaay too long. We’ll forgive them, though, because we’re still laughing at the mere thought of their Mad Max: Fury Road trailer.
••• TrekMovie.com this week posted a whole bunch of very mildly spoilery images of the Star Trek: Beyond filming in Dubai. The most curious one, though, seemed to be a pair of background aliens who seemed to have wandered in from Doctor Who. Enjoy the Silence, Starfleet…
••• Darth Vader and Iron Man get Maori Tiki Warrior makeover courtesy of artist Mike Mendez.
••• “No, Mr Bonds, I expect you to melt.” All the Bonds together at last… thanks to Madam Tussauds.
••• Marvel/DC crossover of the week courtesy of Batsvsupes.
••• And yet another Back To The Future II skit…
Guardians Of The Gallery: Dragonball Superheroes, Bond, Lego Hobbit & More
Some of the best, funniest and weirdest pics & vids that’ve been doing the rounds on the ’net this week
••• French artist Pierre-Marie Lenoir has taken Dragon Ball Z characters and fused them with superheroes like Batman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine. See more of his work here.
[via ComicBookResources]
••• No doubt inspired by transatlantic success of Straight Outta Compton, Marvel’s latest variant covers gimmick is classic hip hop album cover homages. Apparently comic shops in the US are going gaga over them with huge pre-orders forcing Marvel to reprints.
••• Minions prepare for a (PR) invasion of China.
••• Just added to the Dr Marten’s Adventure Time range are these Marceline the Vampire Queen boots, which as well as the toe cap detailing have fluffy tongues too! Available here.
••• This week’s amazing Lego construction (because there has to be one) is a mammoth 120,000-brick reconstruction of Erebor from The Hobbit by Michal Kazmierczak. [via Gizmodo]
••• Sesame Street does a spoof of the most famous scene from When Harry Met Sally. We have no idea why.
••• Have you ever heard that theory about Star Wars – the one that suggest with a different emphasis the Empire could be portrayed as the good guys fighting against evil terrorists?Seems that you can do a similar “sexing up” with Joffrey in Game Of Thrones.
••• Spider-Man elect used Instagram to show off his first ever Spider-Man costume.
••• Aston Martin has unveiled a special Bond edition DB9 sports car to coincide with the release of SPECTRE. Only 150 examples of the car, based on the DB9 GT, will be offered for sale, at $250,000. Thank God Top Gear is off the air at the moment and Clarkson’s new show is months off. 
••• A deleted scene from last year’s Doctor Who… well, sort of.
Just found this. The first scrap of Kill The Moon I scribbled. Didn’t make it into the ep, of course. But it’s nice. pic.twitter.com/1Ry0v1W6NZ — Peter Harness (@mrpeterharness) September 4, 2015
What If Roger Moore Was Bond In Spectre? Video Remix
What would the next Bond blockbuster, Spectre, be like if Roger Moore were still 007? Well, not Roger Moore as he is now. That would be more like Last Of The Summer Wine meets New Tricks. Oh, just watch the video, you’ll get the idea. And it is brilliant. Enjoy.
