Movies where someone defuses a bomb with only 1 second left.


I know it's happened thousands of times, but the only one I can think of is "Blown Way" (1994).

The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991)

reply

Galaxy Quest (1999)

Really? I don't recall a bomb in that one.

reply

It was the self destruct device on the Thermian ship

reply

Not sure if it was precisely 1 second, but face/off has a scene like that.

reply

They were down to four seconds in Octopussy

reply

There was a Bond film from the 90s (I think it was GoldenEye) where Bond stopped the clock at 0:07.

reply

That's a nice wink to the audience. Clever.

reply


I don't know about that, but the stopped the clock at 0:07 in Goldfinger.

🤨

reply

I'm aware of that one but I recall watching one of the Bond's after that thinking that they ripped off their own joke.

reply

They need to make at least one movie where they have a whole week to defuse the bomb at their leisure.

reply

For once I want them to make a movie where you hear a clock ticking, and a heartbeat and then they cut to the time and they have like an hour left.

reply

I think I've seen a movie where the clock goes to 0 but didn't blow up when they defused it. That's a bit more realistic, I guess.

reply

Or it can be just like The Batman and stay there until the clock reaches 0:00 and somehow survive the explosion.

reply

Lol. Because I'm Batman!

reply

The Peacemaker (2017) They difuse a nuke before it detonated in NYC.

reply

So I guess there was peace.

reply

007 seconds in Goldfinger.

reply

I believe GoldenEye too.

reply

And James Bond did not know how to defuse it.

reply

Galaxy Quest

reply

Danger UXB (not a movie but a really good miniseries).

reply

I used to watch that series. They've been showing repeats recently. I've caught a few.

reply

Wish I could find that series. I would love to rewatch it.
