Gerb, Flash Pot, Bullet Hit and Squib: they sound like the names of crappy superheroes, but they are, in fact, different types of Pyrotechnics. It’s thanks to this craft that Michael Bay stays winning - although, it’s James Bond’s ‘No Time to Die’ that set the Guinness World Record for the largest amount of explosives detonated for a movie.

From fireworks and safety matches to oxygen candles and explosive bolts, pyrotechnics relies on self-contained exothermic chemical reactions to make heat, light, gas, smoke and sound. As you probably guessed, it can be really dangerous. During the set of the Twilight Zone movie, the use of pyrotechnics damaged a helicopter, killing actor Vic Morrows. In the words of Steven Spielberg, "No movie is worth dying for.”
