And there was us thinking we would just make a few smoke bombs for paintball players…
As the EG brand has developed, we’ve kept our roots in mind and never forget where home is. Primarily, we serve our community engaged in combat simulation and tactical training, never losing sight of where we come from.
But we’re delighted to be acknowledged as the top commercial producer of smoke and tactical grenades worldwide. This prestigious recognition has attracted the attention of Hollywood directors and television production companies.
There are many blockbuster movies that feature EG smoke. Sometimes just the effects and, pleasingly, sometimes the unit and brand can be seen too… check the end scenes of the Joker for a good example of that.
But what’s the movie that had a six figure spend just on smoke? Kong Skull Island takes the prize for the highest spend so far, opting for real smoke effects over CGI, and what a scene it turned out to be.
