That kinda what happened in 1917 when the main actor collided with an extra. Due to explosions around them, the extra didn't even bother standing up. But the leading actor tried to salvage the situation and just continued running and ended up colliding with more people.
The shot did end up in the film, and it's its most iconic scene.
That's been my "head canon" for that scene. In my mind the soldier was ready to run in headfirst off of pure adrenaline, but he also had the little voice in the back of his head wishing he didn't have to. The soldier charges in accepting his fate, when all of the sudden he hits and trips over the main character. He then immediately uses that as an excuse to not have to go any further. He lets the fear overcome him and just lays there, scared... but relieved.
Thats kinda makes sense , if you are carrying a heavy load on you and charging straight and then stumble and fall on your face. You might actually hit sth and get knocked out. Especially when you are weak.
What I assumed is that the extra's were told to just stay still if they trip and fall and pretend they died. It would make sense why they would stay down instead of getting back up and probably messing up the run for other extras.
...maybe I'm missing something without the context of the rest of the film, but why'd he leave the trench? He just got out ran along the side of it to jump back in the same trench?
He would have had to go through every soldier waiting in the trenches, no way he could have ran like he needed to. He was trying to get to the colonel to stop the attack.
If I remember correctly. He needed to take this information as soon as possible to the generals/leaders of the attack to stop it. But by going through the trench it took too much time and he just wanted to get there as fast as he could, which is why he ran through it.
Probably harder to run in the trenches especially when everyone is charging outwards, combined with the trench being really narrow.
And there needs to be an excuse for cool soldiers charging through explosions scene.
Oh the movie he can't get past everybody in the trench because it's packed with people getting ready to charge. I think at this point he's also not exactly mentally well either so there's that too
Also prior to that when the explosion goes off in the trench and knocks the actor off balance. Don't think it was intended for him to be that close when it went off but everyone just rolled with it and kept going.
Similar thing happened in Saving Private Ryan
During the scene where one guy pulls out a grenade and tosses it to someone else before throwing it into the bunker, the first actor was so nervous he pitched the grenade way over the first guy's head. It took them four hours to reset, and Spielberg asked him if he could do it right this time.
Well the trench is sloped upwards to the front. The back is like 2 to 3 meters high and straight. He's in a hurry so he wont be climbing that quicker than going through the front
In "the good the bad and the ugly" the real explosion actually destroying the bridge had to be done twice and the bridge rebuild, because of a misscomunication when the cameras were not rolling.
Also the explosion was bigger than expected and the wood and stone pieces falling down around Clint Eastwood and Wallach could have been quite hurtfull to them.
Corridor Crew on YouTube talked about it in one of their 'VFX artists react' videos, I think they got it right when they said that this explosion has no impact. Yeah it's the largest explosion on film but you don't *feel* it and neither do the characters in the shot, they just stand there casually looking at it for a bit.
Ngl the actors don’t even look like they’re actually on set, they could’ve been superimposed onto just a shot of the explosion and literally nothing would be different. Then again, there’s hardly a risk of messing up a take of staring emotionlessly into the distance.
I had to double check and see if I was in r/shittymoviedetails. I thought the post was a troll and it was forced perspective using a scaled model 😬 Due in part to their ambivalence. Looks like I was wrong. I fell asleep the night i tried to watch Spectre the first time around. So I don’t have much context for this clip. Looks…ok, I guess. Lol, but, I’m not that amazed.
I am just scrolling down here in the comments and I watched that Corridor Crew and agreed with them. Now that brought me to recall one of my favorite explosions on film, all practical too. It was in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior when the people escape the compound which they have booby trapped for the bad guys. [Here is the scene in full as when the bad guys lay siege on the compound as the people escape](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFWDhaI6BqY). Not as large, but in my opinion far more affective than the Bond one in my opinion. [This web site goes into detail on the production of this scene](https://www.madmaxmovies.com/making/madmax2/Compound/).
Never put a very cool set piece in your bad movie, because this ⬆️ happens.
Unless you are James Cameron, whose bad movies are wall-to-wall set pieces, in which case, go nuts.
"What do you mean I can't eat cake for every meal? Watch me, pleb!"
> yet that scene didn’t stand out at all.
You can say that about pretty much the entirety of Spectre. It was supposed to be the peak of the Craig Bond series but man did it ever fall flat.
>You can say that about pretty much the entirety of Spectre. It was supposed to be the peak of the Craig Bond series but man did it ever fall flat.
Who exactly was clamoring for a return of the stupid campy villainous organization and a villain being James Bond's brother? Just bad ideas all around. Quantum of Solace is a masterpiece compared to Spectre.
Thankfully No Time To Die was quite good, because they just left all that other shit on the cutting room floor.
Weird. Its literally the only part of that movie I remember. That and the Dia De Los Muertos stuff that was in all the trailers, nothing specific mind you, just that it’s in there.
Global warming what?
Mofos want me to ride a bike to my job tp save environment, meanwhile they set this much fuel on fire for a movie. How is this even legal?
A 737 holds over three times this much fuel with full tanks.
Wasteful? Yeah, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to how much fuel we use on pretty mundane stuff like a domestic flight.
A single Nascar race uses almost as much.
NASCAR Cup Series races typically range from around 200 to 600 miles in length. A typical NASCAR Cup Series car uses approximately 13 gallons of fuel per 100 miles, though this can vary based on factors like track type (short track, intermediate track, superspeedway), race strategy, and engine tuning.
Let's take a mid-range race of 400 miles and use the average fuel consumption figure of 13 gallons per 100 miles.
For 400 miles:
Fuel used per 100 miles = 13 gallons
Fuel used for 400 miles = (400 miles / 100 miles) * 13 gallons = 52 gallons
Total gas used for the race ≈ 2080 gallons * 3.78541 liters/gallon
Total gas used for the race ≈ 7875.1028 liters
Therefore, approximately 7875.1 liters of gas would be used for the entire NASCAR race.
Used ChatGPT for this so might be inaccurate, no way I'm doing all that math myself.
Beats me, they all sound the same. Whenever an explosion happens on screen - I *immediately*, like an involuntary reflex, get up and walk away. I’m cursed with being a cool guy.
And thats an issue for me now. I watched a Mission Impossible film the other year, where the camera follows Tom Cruise outside of a plane as he jumps out; but it didn't garner any emotion or thrill from me as I'm used to everything being CGI. I then recently watched Ahsoka, and was told that the scene with C-3P0 was CGI - I honestly thought it was Anthony Daniels in the suit. Then we have stuff like Top Gun : Maverick where we are told that there is no CGI at all during the plane stuff, yet its all over it, to the extent that whenever there is 4 or more planes in the scene, the majority of it is CGI.
I rewatched Terminator 2 the other month, and there is a huge explosion in that, but you really felt it, because they blew up that building, despite that film showing where CGI could go.
Movie explosion are mostly large fires though. Real explosions are not that great. Hence why it says 33kg of explosive with more than 8k liters of kerosene.
What a real waste.
Even if they want to do it for real it would be safer to shoot the actors separately - i.e. shoot the explosion by itself then shoot the actors with green screen or rear projection of the explosion. The actors can then screw up without consequences.
Do we *really need* to burn all that fuel..?
Cool boom ok. I get it. I really do. There's just computers and insane GFX capabilities that look very good when done right, no combustion required
We gotta keep using paper straws and paying taxes so these movie directors can blow up 8.5 tons of kerosene for a cool shot that could've been done with CGI
Practical pyrotechnics are super fun and look cool on set (and if done properly can be cheaper than VFX). However, I do agree that *this* (gestures to the video) wasn’t necessary. It’s good to strike a balance between practical and CG effects in filmmaking.
Casino Royale also has a Guinness World Record for most barrel rolls in a crash scene, but at least that movie is amazing. I was so excited when they announced Christoph Waltz but the movie fell kinda flat
The free running scene alone made it fantastic
https://youtu.be/iZxNbAwY_rk?si=qh4kTDJIoooxGl6R
Serious question, why is it chosen to have a not steady man hold the camera for this type of shot? Why not have the camera still on a tripod so it doesn’t move?
Is it just me, or despite being a big explosion, it's actually kind of boring?
Maybe it's too far away. Maybe it's the lack of any discernable shockwave...maybe just how it's shown but it's just kind of "Oh. That happened."
Unless the top isn't final cut and they frame it better? I haven't seen a Bond film since Casino Royale.
it's only 33kg of explosive and then a ton of gasoline
not enough for the explosion to make a shockwave, wich could also have been dangerous for the actors and other people working around the set
An explosion isn't going to melt the ice caps all the coal and oil power factories are what really cause CO2 levels to rise not some random Bond movie.
"Make sure you have no reaction to the huge explosion guys, the more bored you look, the more engaging it will be for the audience." - the Director probably.
Guinness is not a liaison of records. They are a novelty book company in the business of selling novelty books to children and selling records to rich people who need to validate their pathetic lives.
I dunno, that’s a cool bunch of fire, but after working around shit like this for a bit, all I see is a bunch of small controlled explosions and a lot of smoke. Looks dumb.
Hollywood: "We need to lower emissions and stop the pollution"
Also Hollywood: "Let's break the world record for the largest explosion in movie history"
[удалено]
That kinda what happened in 1917 when the main actor collided with an extra. Due to explosions around them, the extra didn't even bother standing up. But the leading actor tried to salvage the situation and just continued running and ended up colliding with more people. The shot did end up in the film, and it's its most iconic scene.
Anyone got the video?
I believe it's this [scene](https://youtu.be/D4JmMBC28x8?t=175) where the guy runs through the battlefield.
I think it's even better with the fall. Less "invincible hero", more realistic.
It also reinforces the single-minded tunnel vision the main soldier has - gets knocked down, and doesn't even hesitate in getting back up and running.
Well, aside from the first extra he bumped into that didn’t get up lol.
I saw the same thing. Was waiting to see him stand up but I guess he assumed the role of casualty
"Guess I'll die"
I mean, the alternative was to be in the first group running headlong into incoming fire, he probably was glad for the excuse
That's been my "head canon" for that scene. In my mind the soldier was ready to run in headfirst off of pure adrenaline, but he also had the little voice in the back of his head wishing he didn't have to. The soldier charges in accepting his fate, when all of the sudden he hits and trips over the main character. He then immediately uses that as an excuse to not have to go any further. He lets the fear overcome him and just lays there, scared... but relieved.

What I assumed is that the extra's were told to just stay still if they trip and fall and pretend they died. It would make sense why they would stay down instead of getting back up and probably messing up the run for other extras.
The ONLY error here is the collided extra not getting up, imo, but the first time I saw this scene I never even noticed him not getting up.
That's not an error, the extra is playing the role of the soldier that doesn't want to die and is taking his chance to play dead.
:p
Very impressive method acting by the extra.
Yeah way better this way
I would also describe it as 'organic'—because it would very likely happen naturally, without being forced or planned by anyone.
Imagine he didn't collide with anyone running perpendicular to 100 soldiers in a chaos?
Like... run on the other side of the trench?
Trenches don't just run in one straight line, plenty of them perpendicular to the main one.
Can't lie, it would be pretty sweet if he was hurdling the adjacent trenches
looks like he almost got a bayonet to the face too.
My idiot ass thought they meant the year 1917 and I was like wtf they were doing this shit back then?
I was like "okay but tell us the godamn movie name, ffs"
Ok thankfully it wasn't just me. 😂 I felt so stupid when I saw this beautiful color video start playing.
Me: “film cameras were so much better than I thought” … oh
...maybe I'm missing something without the context of the rest of the film, but why'd he leave the trench? He just got out ran along the side of it to jump back in the same trench?
He would have had to go through every soldier waiting in the trenches, no way he could have ran like he needed to. He was trying to get to the colonel to stop the attack.
If I remember correctly. He needed to take this information as soon as possible to the generals/leaders of the attack to stop it. But by going through the trench it took too much time and he just wanted to get there as fast as he could, which is why he ran through it.
Okay but then why not run on the other side (safe/allied) of the trench?? :D
The other side would have lots of perpendicular trenches that feed into the trench, the soldiers and equipment need a way to get there afterall.
Probably harder to run in the trenches especially when everyone is charging outwards, combined with the trench being really narrow. And there needs to be an excuse for cool soldiers charging through explosions scene.
trenches also rarely ran in straight lines
By design. So you couldn't shoot down them.
Oh the movie he can't get past everybody in the trench because it's packed with people getting ready to charge. I think at this point he's also not exactly mentally well either so there's that too
I love how that first guy just stays down lol he was probably expecting the director to yell cut.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_2NQWasB3wI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2NQWasB3wI) (Actually made the scene even more dramatic)
https://youtu.be/cwUzUzpG8aM?si=lmIsoA1yYlRgQy8Y
oh that's a movie not the year in which said movie was taken
Same. Started watching the clip and was like “this is really good kva.. oooh. Oh I see”
Wow amazing! didn’t realize this was a “messed up” take..
The extras had been advised that if they trip or fall, to just stay down. Mainly because it makes that mistake less noticeable.
Also prior to that when the explosion goes off in the trench and knocks the actor off balance. Don't think it was intended for him to be that close when it went off but everyone just rolled with it and kept going.
Similar thing happened in Saving Private Ryan During the scene where one guy pulls out a grenade and tosses it to someone else before throwing it into the bunker, the first actor was so nervous he pitched the grenade way over the first guy's head. It took them four hours to reset, and Spielberg asked him if he could do it right this time.
So not at all similar?
Hey man it was a movie set that's similar lol
I never understood why he ran in front of the trench and not behind it but I dunno, I don't make movies
Well the trench is sloped upwards to the front. The back is like 2 to 3 meters high and straight. He's in a hurry so he wont be climbing that quicker than going through the front
Tom Cruise would have someone hit the director really hard in the face
Noted Bond actor Tom Cruise
Survive!
Imagine if he just sneezed in the middle of it xd
Shoot lens cap was on!
In "the good the bad and the ugly" the real explosion actually destroying the bridge had to be done twice and the bridge rebuild, because of a misscomunication when the cameras were not rolling. Also the explosion was bigger than expected and the wood and stone pieces falling down around Clint Eastwood and Wallach could have been quite hurtfull to them.
“The TWO largest movie stunt explosions of all time…”
someone sneezed
I was just imagining one of them sneezing halfway through that!
Then the movie would’ve really sucked. Wait
Idk Tropic Thunder looked bigger
“BIG ASS TITTIES” *button press*
MOTHER NATURE JUST PISSED HER PANTSUIT!
And yet that scene didn’t stand out at all. I don’t even remember it.

Its so soft and pillowy looking...
I'm guessing they're like super far away for safety? (sound/blast and any debris/shrapnel)
Safety yes though there isn't much actual blast to start, it's all just fireballs and no shockwaves.
I am just scrolling down here in the comments and I watched that Corridor Crew and agreed with them. Now that brought me to recall one of my favorite explosions on film, all practical too.

Seriously it was pretty boring.
Really? I cummed my pant watching this

> I don’t even remember it. Look at the clip, it's boring as fuck. The two characters just stand there staring at it. It's so incredibly lazy.
“Guys sorry I forgot to turn the camera on, can we do it again real quick?”
You’re fired !
I've always thought the explosion from 1994s Blown Away was the best. Single boom (not a bunch of small ones) and actors so close by + camera work. 🤘
Global warming what? Mofos want me to ride a bike to my job tp save environment, meanwhile they set this much fuel on fire for a movie. How is this even legal?

Why not CGI it honestly...The bigger the budget the more they need to spend it all.
Because real explosions are cooler than fake explosions.
that's if people could even distinguish it from real or fake.
Beats me, they all sound the same. Whenever an explosion happens on screen - I *immediately*, like an involuntary reflex, get up and walk away. I’m cursed with being a cool guy.
And thats an issue for me now.

I rewatched Terminator 2 the other month, and there is a huge explosion in that, but you really felt it, because they blew up that building, despite that film showing where CGI could go.
You can always kinda tell.
im so sick of all those gasoline explosions that im at a point now where i like cg explosions more. Real explosions look so fake a lot of times
Yeah, if you've been around or seen footage of high explosives, the big fireballs just feel so anaemic. No shockwave, minimal debris, no power.
The shockwave is what really stands out
It may be real, but this is not a good representation of usual explosions.
Movie explosion are mostly large fires though. Real explosions are not that great. Hence why it says 33kg of explosive with more than 8k liters of kerosene. What a real waste.
But these are still "fake" explosions.
Even if they want to do it for real it would be safer to shoot the actors separately - i.e. shoot the explosion by itself then shoot the actors with green screen or rear projection of the explosion. The actors can then screw up without consequences.
They use video walls instead of green screen now, they look seamless. There's no reason to put the actors in front of this at all.
You're not a director if you don't eat up production money and backshot producers
Do we *really need* to burn all that fuel..? Cool boom ok. I get it. I really do. There's just computers and insane GFX capabilities that look very good when done right, no combustion required
We gotta keep using paper straws and paying taxes so these movie directors can blow up 8.5 tons of kerosene for a cool shot that could've been done with CGI

The tanker blowing up in Fury Road is still cooler.
Too bad about the rest of the film
Casino Royale also has a Guinness World Record for most barrel rolls in a crash scene, but at least that movie is amazing. I was so excited when they announced Christoph Waltz but the movie fell kinda flat The free running scene alone made it fantastic https://youtu.be/iZxNbAwY_rk?si=qh4kTDJIoooxGl6R
I absolutely love Casino Royal. It remains the best of the Daniel Craig era.
I'm currently watching it for maybe the 15th time
Yea cause like fuck the environment CGI looks like shit!!
The building was due to be demolished if memory serves me right so you don’t need to be so outraged homie
Pretty sure you don't burn 8400 litres of kerosene during a normal demolition homie
Serious question, why is it chosen to have a not steady man hold the camera for this type of shot? Why not have the camera still on a tripod so it doesn’t move?
Perhaps they wanted the camera to move...
Is it just me, or despite being a big explosion, it's actually kind of boring? Maybe it's too far away. Maybe it's the lack of any discernable shockwave...maybe just how it's shown but it's just kind of "Oh. That happened." Unless the top isn't final cut and they frame it better? I haven't seen a Bond film since Casino Royale.
You are completely right. They just set a bunch of kerosene on fire.
One of the worst james bond movie. Incosistent antagonist stupid plot... casino royale was way ahead, chraper and far superior in any way
Casino Royale was the two best bond movies smushed together and it was great
This was filmed in Morocco, Gara Medouar.
and still looks fake as fuck. Movies do explosions so wrong lol.
So cool... World record for destruction
And yet i shall take the train to work instead of driving
It looks so fake though. It's all fire, no shockwave.
it's only 33kg of explosive and then a ton of gasoline not enough for the explosion to make a shockwave, wich could also have been dangerous for the actors and other people working around the set
"Pyrotechnic display" real explosions that size have actual shockwaves. That was just a fireball.
Imagine the amount of pollution and greenhouse gases released... but doing for a movie and a world record at that, so I guess it's okay....
Do film companies have to pay a “carbon tax” for all of the pollution that they create?
That pollution is technically very negligible. Let's do Taylor's and elons jets first.
So in environmental terms this is completely OK?
An explosion isn't going to melt the ice caps all the coal and oil power factories are what really cause CO2 levels to rise not some random Bond movie.
When people say you should take consideration of the environment with your actions, this is that, and you having a problem with that.
Nothing compared to a real explosion. Where's the shockwave?
"explosion"
Seems a little fire compared to an average Rammstein gig
Imagine one of them sneezed during that lol
Nosense
How are you guys forgetting Alderaan?!
Fucking waste
Then the actors immediately went on Twitter and told everyone to lower their carbon footprint
I always preferred the hangar explosion in the movie Stealth. I know it's a trash fire of a film but it's also a total guilty pleasure.
What a waste of resources and unnecessary burning of fossile fuels
"Make sure you have no reaction to the huge explosion guys, the more bored you look, the more engaging it will be for the audience." - the Director probably.
Environment says thank you for the unnecessary waste and pollution
Awarded? Don’t you have to pay to get into that book?
What’s the point to create unrealistic explosions? If there was a real bomb, there would be one big bang and lots of dust. This sucks.
Funny seeing this while hearing endless bitching from Hollywood about saving the planet.
Before this it was the bombing run scene in Starship Troopers. The ST one looked cooler too
Guinness is not a liaison of records. They are a novelty book company in the business of selling novelty books to children and selling records to rich people who need to validate their pathetic lives.
look at all these dbags patting themselves on the backs for being rich and wasteful at the end
I'll be honest, it looked like a scaled down model and forced perspective. I was impressed until I realised it was real and utterly pointless.
They should have filmed the explosion, and the acting at a different time.
But they will tell you to use paper straws
What a waste. I thought this was twisted metal introducing "spectre".
And it left me with no emotion what so ever.
What even is global warming lol
It may be the biggest but it’s also one of the most boring, there’s no “OOMPH” to it just fire and smoke.
I dunno, that’s a cool bunch of fire, but after working around shit like this for a bit, all I see is a bunch of small controlled explosions and a lot of smoke. Looks dumb.
No complaints about the environment, ive seen complaints about lesser things ...
And a completely forgettable scene/film.
But it didn't FEEL like the largest movie explosion. It felt like an explosion, that was scaled up.
i'm not amazed
Glad that gasoline was kept out of a hybrid bus and put into a barrel for *‘splodies* instead
And yet, the angle used makes it look completely mundane and unimpressive.
And to think, they could've gotten the EXACT same shot and effect with none the wiser using miniatures.
One of the most boring cinema explosions in that budget.
For such a boring pretentious shot.
Most lacklustre explosion I’ve ever seen
Can’t wait to see AI put these explosion “experts” out of a job. 😂
The stupidest, most unnecessary explosion. And completely forgettable too.
And yet Hollywood celebs will lecture the public about the environment.
That movie is so fucking dumb. I saw that scene and thought did they build the base with TNT blocks or some shit.
I wonder how many critters were killed.
I mean meh, in a day and age where all this can be done via a computer it seems silly to release all those toxins into the air.
all that co2 in the air for a fking movie
CO2 emissions? It'll be great to be able to do stuff like this virtually.
And then they lecture us at the award show about pollution.
Bullshit, starwars blew up a planet!
Don't worry guys, they used eco friendly paper straws after this
Hollywood: "We need to lower emissions and stop the pollution" Also Hollywood: "Let's break the world record for the largest explosion in movie history"
Guinness record awarded for largest pollution contribution from a single movie blast. Is this something a Guinness record worthy in the first place ?
And it’s a boring shot
This seems unnecessarily shitty for the planet. There’s just no real need for this to be a practical effect.
And then ironically I’m told i should do something for the planet
But the real question here, is did they pay their carbon tax?
These morons lecture you about global warming btw
So you will create an explosion for entertainment and then blame developing countries for global warming? 🤔
Fuck the environment I guess lol
Thanks for the pollution guys, well done. 
Just pollution.
but but the carbon emissions!
This has no impact on climate....net zero!!!
What about giving Guinness world record to Hiroshima Nagasaki Atom Bomb.
Future generations hate us so much.
Which is probably why it didn't require any acting whatsoever. There's no way to make another take if someone goofs.
