in which a character must disarm an
explosive device with a clock ticking
down there’s a green one there’s like a
bunch of green and as you can expect
there are a few spoilers ahead so
spoiler alert Wow
number 10 red or white wine blown away
how much time with good enhance enhance
how many bites with a title like blown
away you’re bound to get at least
several explosions and bomb defusing
seeds
ant don’t give up on me you’re doing
great at a university a female hostage
encounters something much more deadly
than a virus on her computer screen
enter jimmied of a member of the bomb
squad on the verge of retirement can be
something you like red wine or white
wine approaching the situation like a
carefree daredevil jimmy is faced with
the familiar action-movie conundrum of
which wire to cut the answer all comes
down to the hostages preference of wine
in a figurative taste test
they wisely select red red Lee to
she loves me number nine
bomb at the bottom of the sea the abyss
what sounds more nerve-wracking diving
four point three miles into the sea with
limited oxygen or disarming a nuclear
warhead
okay these are so your eyes can focus in
the breathing fluid how’s that feel
there it is you can’t see you can’t
disarm the bomb right in the abyss but
takes on both dangerous endeavors for
the price of one all you have to do is
hang on reaching the ocean floor the
foreman prepares to defuse the bomb with
a Navy SEAL giving him step-by-step
instructions right here with you bud
director James Cameron takes an already
daunting circumstance and totally ups
the ante depriving Bud of his ability to
talk placing him in a hostile
environment and keeping the action going
even after the wires been cut
number eight sarin gas chamber the rock
see we have some dirty magazines stony
age cave girls in the raw kinky in this
scene from the rock Stanley Goodspeed
and his incompetent comrade stumble upon
a baby doll that really should have been
recalled
unleashing sarin gas matters become
increasingly chaotic as the poison eats
through their suit the sprinkler stall
and c4 is set to blast okay that’s bad
there’s some really bad news bad news is
that the gas is corrosive there’s enough
c4 explosive and poison gas to blow the
whole chamber and kill everybody in the
belly while everybody else in the room
panics
Goodspeed keeps his head in the game in
your heart before your suit bells get
fixated on the explosives he won’t even
stop to take the antidote with seconds
remaining the chemist saves the day and
spares himself a date with a really big
needle out of this gas chamber who
stabbed myself in the heart with this
thing
number 7 mission accomplished Mission
Impossible Ghost Protocol
the IMF team frantically races to stop
Kurt Hendricks from launching another
nuclear warhead in the 4th Mission
Impossible picture this entire network
is state-of-the-art but it’s built on
illegally acquired cold war castoffs
including this the Novosti satellite
Hendricks needs it to launch a nuclear
strike and we have to shut it down
before he gets that chance as a missile
charges for San Francisco
Ethan finds himself in the midst of a
thrilling car chase and an exceptionally
choreographed parking garage fight the
climax just keeps building with one
exciting development after another
even when it appears our hero has
accomplished his mission the action
persists until the very last second with
a little help from his friends Ethan
deactivates the nuke in the nick of time
ah
number six secondary protocol Armageddon
come on get some altitude let’s go let’s
go time is a major factor in this 1998
blockbuster about an asteroid on a
collision course with earth it’s what we
call a global killer the end of mankind
doesn’t matter where it hits nothing
would survive not even bacteria when the
would be astronauts missed their mark
upon landing the military decides to
detonate the bomb on board and hopes for
the best United States government just
asked us to save the world anybody want
to say no split on whether to follow
orders
Harry and the colonel engage in a
Mexican standoff what going back and do
it ourselves putting his rival in a
chokehold Harry finds a couple of
seconds for an inspirational speech I
have been drilling holes in the earth
for 30 years and I have never never
missed a depth that I have aimed for by
god I am NOT gonna miss this one I will
make 800 feet the colonel sees the light
has the blue wire cut and it’s smooth
sailing from there good job
well not really
number five an explosive fail Lethal
Weapon 3 where’s the bomb squad they’re
on the way come on everything’s under
control let’s go they will listen Roger
I think we ought to check this out the
Lethal Weapon movies are known for
incorporating comedy into intense
circumstances a fine example being this
scene from the third movie there’s a
bomb in that building known as a bombing
of beauty wisdom insisting there’s no
bomb inside the building Riggs drags his
long-suffering partner into danger
once again hey ROG yeah your insurance
paid up yeah yeah of course what as you
might expect they find a bomb and
recklessly decide to take care of
business themselves although time is of
the essence the duo spends several
minutes bantering until Riggs finally
cuts the wire things don’t exactly go
according to plan
ROG yeah we’re at the cap probably
should have waited for the bomb squad
guys
number four blowing up the bomb the
peacemaker tell me about the bomb is it
on treeger is it on a timer
is it activated come on talk to me
movies usually make defusing bombs look
so straightforward sometimes simply
cutting a wire isn’t enough though take
a look at this and tell me what you see
well an SS 18 primary with a plutonium
core bomb inside Obama has a capacitor
real a detonator double pole double
throw in the peacemaker George Clooney
and Nicole Kidman come to the conclusion
that the nuclear weapon before them
can’t be entirely shut down we got it
right here okay with the bomb off one go
ready go they can bring the big boom
down however by removing one of the
explosive panels to save the city from
nuclear destruction we can separate one
of the panel’s Oh
to blow up these out of bomb out core
going to nuclear heels the scene builds
great tension as Kidman hurriedly
attempts to detach the lens she pulls it
off with just enough time for our heroes
to perform a cliched but always fun
window jump
number three four gallons die hard with
a vengeance
Calabar Simon Gruber is all about games
challenging his opponents physically and
mentally when it’s four legs and is
always writing travel after surviving a
crazy taxi campaign in the third diehard
Simon treats John and Zeus to their
reward a bomb that can only be
neutralized by placing four gallons of
water on the scale fill one of the jugs
with exactly four gallons of water and
place it onto scale and the timer will
stop the problem is they only have three
and five gallon jugs right then what now
take a three gallon jug filling at 1/3
of the way up oh he said be precise
exactly four gal miles runnings aschoff
and I’m out here playing kids game to
the park
the to attempt to solve the riddle while
also engaging in another racial dispute
hey hey
we’ll go call me fortune no I wasn’t yes
you were why y’all call me a show
through mathematical problem solving
they eventually figure it out and live
to play another round of Simon Says good
good good okay poor gal you’re getting
McClane what happened I get it down to
number two seven seconds to spare
Goldfinger
James Bond is no stranger to explosives
with ticking clocks after giving a job a
shocking send-off in Goldfinger
James is left with less than a minute to
prevent an atomic device from blowing up
Fort Knox
although the secret agent can be quite
skilled with his hands this is one
bombshell he doesn’t know how to handle
with James at his wits end
a specialist unceremoniously steps in
and turns the bomb off by simply
flipping a switch ironically the clock
stops at exactly seven seconds
well played double oh seven what kept
you before we count down to our top pick
here are some honorable mentions oh well
what the hell it’s usually green
cut the rent or Edie
oh heavens no not the green one pull
anyone but the green one astronaut
number one car bomb The Hurt Locker
knowing that his suit isn’t going to
make a difference upon discovering a
trunk full of explosives William James
decides to make himself comfortable
enough banging there to send us all to
Jesus I’m gonna die aren’t I comfortable
it’s equally humorous and disturbing how
casually the sergeant approaches this
hazardous situation so used to war that
he doesn’t even seem to care if he blows
up hey James sergeant Sam Bourne is
asking if you’ll please put your headset
back on instead of relying on a ticking
clock bombastic music and cheap thrills
this scene from The Hurt Locker
instead keeps us at the edge of our
seats by staying grounded in reality
making the final outcome entirely
unpredictable
