Can't find any footage to validate this discovery but may try to replicate at home.

Technically, a very low speed camera.

I like this popcorn popping.

You can get a camera to shoot that kind of super high speed footage here.

During the bullet porn, I had to laugh when they shot the knife.

So, uh, they grew that huge pumpkin just to blow it up?

Needs more Radiohead - "Street Spirit" on the soundtrack.

We can only thank God that the pumpkin was not in a crowded farmer's marketplace when it chose to detonate.
