Films And TV Shows Featuring Surprising World Records

Marvel films should have the highest box office takings, while a Michael Bay production should have the most explosions per minute on screen records, as you might anticipate.
Oh no, that honor goes to the action series where a British agent wears really expensive suits and murders a lot of people while everything around him blows up since everyone is a missile enthusiast.
Films are certainly wacky. Here is a collection of intriguing films and television programs that set some records.

1. The Shining Wins The Record Of Most Retakes Of A Dialogue Scene

The perfectionist (or maybe despotic) Stanley Kubrick required a remarkable 148 takes for the moment, in which Scatman Crothers’ Dick Hallorann explains the definition of “the shining” to Danny Torrence, to get it the way he wanted.

The two most recent holders both come from the 1980 horror film The Shining.

Oh those poor, miserable kid, and every performer and member of the cast and crew in this film.

2. No Time To Die Holds The Record Of Most Explosives Detonated In A Single Take

The last scene in Daniel Craig's James Bond was incredibly dramatic, setting a Guinness World Record for the highest explosives that went boom. In only one take, the equivalent of 136.4 kg of TNT was detonated, and the footage was then added to the film (as explained in the short clip below).

3. Blades Of Glory Holds The Record Of Highest Grossing Olympics Movie

The most popular movie about an Olympic sport is the one in which Jon Heder and Will Ferrell skate to Aerosmith's "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." Sure, we don't get a dozen of these every other year, but it's still quite entertaining. The lack of a sequel to this raucous comedy about ice skating and, well, friendship or whatever also baffles the intellect.

4. Squid Game Wins The Record Of Most Popular Tv Show Debut

With a global demand rating that is 84.4 times higher than your typical TV program rating, the South Korean Netflix show, which is apparently being transformed into a Reality show since audiences fully understood it, has the Guinness World Record for the most in-demand debut TV show of all time. The second season is likely to surpass that mark as well.

5. El Santo, Mexican Lucha Libre Wrestler, Holds The Record For An Individual Who Has Featured In The Most Films As Himself

With over 50 action and/or adventure movies to his credit, El Santo currently holds the record. His debut movie, Santo vs. the Evil Brain, came out in 1958, and his last movie, Santo and the Fury of the Karate Experts, came out in 1982.

6. Pirates Holds The Record Of Most Expensive Film Prop

The precisely crafted Spanish Galleon model that cost $10,271,100, or a staggering $27,815,188 in today's money, was made for the 1986 Roman Polanski picture about swashbucklers and facial hair, which continues to retain the record for the most expensive prop.

7. The Midnight Club Wins The Record Of Most Jump Scares In An Episode

The first episode of Mike Flanagan's most recent Netflix series broke the record for the most "Boo!" moments in a single written episode according to Guinness World Records.
The reason, according to Flanagan, who himself dislikes jump scares, is that "I just loathe them. Throughout the majority of my career, I've received requests to "include more jump scares" from folks as we work on scripts. We first had the idea that we would simply empty the missile silos and jam as many jump scares as we could into each scene, hoping that by the time the film was out, they would all be useless.”

8. Guardians Of The Galaxy Holds The Record Of Most Body Counts On Screen

You may think of The Lord of the Rings, or any movie titled with the word “masscacre.” Well, it isn’t. The film with the most on-screen fatalities is the one starring a space pirate raccoon and also Chris Pratt. With 83,871 fatalities, the 2014 Marvel film takes first place in this category. This is partly because of the moment in which almost 80,000 Nova Corps pilots perish.

9. Sherlock Holmes Holds The Record Of Biggest Christmas Day Movie Release

The Guy Ritchie film, in which Robert Downey Jr. dons some uncanny Wolverine appearances, took the coveted title of being the hugest Christmas Day movie release, despite the fact that musicals generally perform quite well on the day of the Claus. Some believe it's also the Christmas Day opener with the most hats ever worn.

10. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm Wins The Record Of The Longest-Titled Oscar-Nominated Movie

The full title of the Borat sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, claims the Guinness World Record. After all, why keep it short when you can just use complete sentences?
