Actor Daniel Craig, who reprises the 007 role for the fourth
time, actress Lea Seydoux and producer Barbara Broccoli were
presented with an official certificate confirming the feat while
promoting "Spectre" in Beijing.
Guinness Word Records said on its website that the official
title holder was "Spectre" Special Effects and Miniature Effects
Supervisor Chris Corbould who created the explosive scene.
It said the blast, which lasted over 7.5 seconds and took place
in Morocco, had a total yield of 68.47 tonnes of TNT equivalent.
It resulted from detonating 8,418 liters of kerosene with 33
kilograms of powder explosives, it added.
"Spectre", the 24th James Bond film, broke records at the
British box office upon opening late last month.
It topped the North American box office at the weekend with
$70.4 million but fell below initial takings for the last 007
film "Skyfall" which took $88.4 million when it opened in 2012.
