James Bond currently holds a world record for the biggest explosive used in a film after using tons of TNT. However, despite the film being recognized by the Guinness World Records, Michael Bay thinks the complete opposite as he claims his movie had bigger explosions.

Speaking to Empire Magazine, the 57-year-old filmmaker recently called out the James Bond franchise for setting the world record.

Per Guinness' website, the 007 movie "Spectre" had an explosion with a "total yield of 68.47 tonnes of TNT equivalent.

Bay noted that his 2001 romantic war film "Pearl Harbor" had an enormous explosion during the scene when the central attack took place.

The director said producer Jerry Bruckheimer showed Ridley Scott the James Bond film, which shocked the "House of Gucci" director.

"No one knows how hard that is. We had so much big stuff out there," Bay said.

The renowned filmmaker then revealed they used real boats, a total of 20 authentic planes, and over 350 "events going off."

The production took three months to rig the seven boats, and there was a time when they had to stop a freeway three miles away.

"James Bond tried to take the 'largest explosion in the world.' B*******. Ours is," he added.

According to Variety, Michael Bay talks about the James Bond film "Spectre." In a particular scene, Blofeld's base blew up.

In addition, the latest movie franchise, "No Time To Die," also received a world record for the highest explosives in a single film take.

The film used a "total of 136.4kg TNT equivalent was detonated" on set.

James Bond's stunt action coordinator Chris Corbould told Guinness that while they were rigging the explosions, a random person from the explosive company told him there's a different record other than their "Spectre" film.

"There was another one for 'the most high explosives in one shot. The record was for 65 kilograms of high explosives in one shot. We had 140 in our one," he said.

Michael Bay hinted a secret to the magazine, saying there's a "special sauce of explosions."And based on his observation, there are many explosions in Hollywood movies today that "look cheesy."

The director is currently looking forward to releasing his latest project titled "Ambulance." The Universal Pictures-produced film will hit theatres on April 8.
