It’s the first week of July and temperatures are soaring, making the days hotter than a Megan Fox close-up.
Looking for relief (from the heat, not Megan Fox) we have compiled a list of the frostiest movie moments, with tips on how they might help cool you down.
So join us for a sub-zero countdown set to put this horrendous heat on ice…
Cold Gun Fun
The Film: Batman & Robin (1999)
The Cold Moment: CHILL! There’s a heat-wave in Gotham, and Mr. Freeze has the cure, but stopping him spreading the ice-based love are the pesky caped-types, Bat-Clooney and The Boy O’Donnell.
PHEW! While the dynamic duo sweat it out in heavy rubber suits, Mr. Freeze has no problems staying cool – his whole body constantly refrigerated by a special suit (imagine the bliss).
SWOOP! The pair perform a series of highly unnecessary set-pieces, which, given the heat, just make it look like they’re showing off. They seriously need to chill out.
ZAP! Mr. Freeze, sensing that Robin must be ever so hot in all that black rubber, hits him with a blast from his ‘Cold Gun’, instantly turning the hot-headed youth into a glorious popsicle.
BOO! Bats jealous of Robin’s new cooler outlook, declines to give chase, opting instead to take home his new frozen companion and defrost him. Boo indeed.
How To Recreate It: We all remember the classic super-soaker, joy bringer of our youth, able to tag your foes from fifty paces? How it laughed in the face of the regular water pistol.
Fill one with icy H2O from the office water cooler, and commit a little super-soaker hari-kari at your desk, several times an hour.
