However, the main point of connection for many of the cast is Star Wars. Engineering guru Grant Imahara has also worked on the Matrix movies and Galaxy Quest, as well as movies like Terminator 3 (again, work is work). Fittingly, Tory Belleci started out working for Hyneman at M5, and later worked on the Matrix movies, Galaxy Quest, and cult classic Starship Troopers. Adam Savage has been a model maker for the Matrix movies and Galaxy Quest, as well as Bicentennial Man (hey, work is work). He also owns a special FX company called M5 Industries. That simply makes us want to know what this thing is more.įor instance, Jamie Hyneman helped work the special FX of the Tom Cruise hit Top Gun, and helped work on some of the animatronics in the Matrix sequels. To a government agency devoted to making weapons of war! The show that specializes in explosions had to use all their powers, and that of the government, to hide an explosive discovery from the world. How serious was all of this? When the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) asked for assistance regarding the danger of homemade bombs, Savage actually forwarded what his team had found.

The cast was understandably cagey when it came to talking about this, but at the Silicon Valley Comicon in 2016, Adam Savage talked about their investigation of an "easily available material and its supposed explosive properties." Savage reported that their discovery was "so explosive" and easy to make, they completely destroyed any and all footage of their discovery.
