Stromberg’s button push helicopter explosion from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) is so satisfying. Maybe it’s the vintage plastic buttons he uses on his control panel. Or the perfectly timed, in-sync explosion that is perfectly edited when he pushes the button. Or the secondary button that illuminates on the upper-right hand side when it happens. Likely, it’s a combination of all three. I could endlessly watch this GIF loop!
