Life-Size Optimus Prime
Somebody actually built this out of scrapped car parts.
30 Terrible Pieces Of Movie Merchandise
The Product: In 2009, Del Monte asked 1000 women which celebrity they’d most like to see on the end of a stick. Daniel Craig was their answer, and so the Daniel Craig lolly was born.
The blueberry, pomegranate and cranberry lollies had an official ‘license to chill’. Har har.
Target Market: Women who would love nothing more than to have Daniel Craig in and around their mouth…
50 Best Movie Special Effects
46. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)
The Effect: Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) comes after Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) to collect his soul.
Why So Impressive: The animators took Nighy’s motion captured performance and transformed into him into half-man, half-octopus, with an impressively mobile tentacled face.
Geek Fact: The starting point for Davy Jones’ skin was a coffee-stained Styrofoam cup.
Transformers ‘Eggbods’

Jason Statham taking over the Transformers franchise
Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf are moving on from the Transformers franchise, but with Paramount keen to keep the money spinning, who to take the reins?

20 Noisiest Michael Bay Moments
18. Asteroid destroyed
Armageddon (1998)
The Background: The finale of Armageddon. When the team find out that they can’t remotely detonate the asteroid, one of them must stay behind and detonate it on site, and it’s A.J. who draws the short straw.
Harry Stamper shows him out, but when he gets outside, he pushes A.J. back onto the ship to go home and marry his daughter, Grace (Liv Tyler).
The Destruction: A whole asteroid and Bruce Willis. We aren’t sure which one is harder to kill after seeing all of the Die Hard films, but it makes for a beautiful spectacle as a ring of blue light is emitted from the exploding rock.
Transformers 3 Review
“Impress me!” demands horrible boss John Malkovich of Shia LaBeouf when the latter’s Sam Witwicky arrives for a job interview.
Those left cold by the last Transformers may well ask the same of Michael Bay before risking what looks likely to be his final orgy of Hasbro-inspired robo-carnage.
For them, good news. Transformers 3 (full title - Transformers: Dark Of The Moon) might struggle to equal the sheer exhilaration of Bay’s 2007 trilogy-starter, but it’s a whole lot more coherent and fulfilling than Revenge Of The Fallen.
