When I was a little one I remember older boys making stink bombs out of strips of movie film recovered from the trash can behind the local theater. It burned with some vigor and smoke but no explosion. Also, I recall reading that guerillas in WWII filled rifle cartridges with finely chopped movie film. This was, of course, a confined environment. This film could have also been used in their contraband Leicas (on topic). Bill Lawlor
