Escape Artist Rates 9 Escapes In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

[@Zown-ej3fl]

In the suicide squad the scene where she unlocks herself was 100% real. Margot Robbie was asked to do it as a joke by the director. They did it in one take. The only part that she didn’t do was strangle the guy. The director even stated that he was upset when they recorded it because they didn’t get a clear enough shot of her face during the recording because it made it look like a stunt double did the trick.

Gifted athletes or not, the strength disparity between men and woman is huge. My daughter is a gymnast and has competed on the national level.

Another example would be Texas high school boys squat record is more then the women’s world record.

I’d give it a 10, but maybe I’m just biased because she’s my wife.. in my mind. Alright, alright.. I’m putting my straitjacket. See?

It has been reported that Margot Robbie really did the stunt. I eat she really raise her legs to her arms while hanging.

only the scene itself got rated... not the preparations that go into them otherwise you would have to rate the "chapter" of the film. Though looking into it, without interviewing and questioning the staff who made the film chapter you wouldnt know how much preperation was needed to make it and that is something that they are probably not capable of, so just because u like that film the most, doenst mean there was less effort used or it deserves a better rating.

[@willdavis3802]

@@davidsumner7604 I've picked locks using a paperclip after months of work with real lockpicks, this is absolutely doable, the most unrealistic thing is her making a rake out of a paperclip rather than a single pin pick. That'd be a trick I'd love to learn to do without any tools.

[@LucianDevine]

The Margot Robbie scene deserves at least an 8 if you want to factor in that she couldn't overpower and kill the guy like she did, or a 10 if you go just on her escaping. She was able to actually do the whole thing, and the only reason the quick cut happens is because when she was doing it was because her costume blocks her face, and the audience would likely rather see the key going in the lock.

[@KnightOfAwesometon]

For anyone interested, you can find the footage of Joseph Burrus death online easily. It's a bit sickening, honestly. As Johnson said, he did the trick as he'd done previously, in a perplex coffin and buried under a fair few feet of dirt. But because it was being broadcast, as well as his pride and desire of surpassing Houdini, he decided to add a layer of cement on top of the dirt layer, not considering cement is much heavier than dirt. Literally seconds after pouring and spreading the cement, the perplex shattered, collapsing under around 7 tons of dirt and cement. From the surface, all you see is the wet concrete layer drop about a foot suddenly. What's even worse is, cement dries from the bottom up. In the video, a reporter actually mentioned this to Burrus and, after the collapse, you can see people having to heave and throw large chunks of hardened cement as they dug him up. Meaning he couldn't have dug his way out even if the trick had gone to plan.

If you are born male, you have no choice but to deadlift your legs with your abs. Your pelvic bone isn’t heavy enough to press against for leverage and your thighs aren’t strong enough to lift themselves. Still super impressive she got that key in the lock with her foot though. It’s hard getting your foot that close to your face, and also hard to aim feet accurately.

For the famous bridge-drop escape when he was wearing nothing but his bathing suit and his confinements, I believe he actually hid a key in a self-inflicted wound in his foot and then allowed it to heal and then reopened it to retrieve the gold-coated (so his body wouldn’t identify it as an infection and attack)key..which, to me, is some next level ish.

[@connermckay4012]

Drowning is less of a big deal than it sounds if you have staff on hand. Pretty much anyone trained at all to hold their breath will not actually get any water in their lungs, the brain naturally knows to hold the breath, even unconscious. Effectively, what will happen is you will pass out, the safety teams will bust you out of whatever you’re in, and as long as they do that in under a few minutes, worst case scenario you’ll wake up with the terminal gasp (a last ditch attempt from the brain to get oxygen before it dies, wherein it foregoes any safety and just takes a giant breath), and you’ll only sustain temporary brain damage at worst. The only way people like this could ever die or even get seriously injured from drowning is by not having someone capable of getting them out of the water on hand.

[@Chatterbox-94]

I’ve drowned once in my life and that was horrifying enough. I actually spent 4 years putting myself through intense swim training in order to make sure my body could handle intense waters capable of drowning me. Now I can swim using only one arm and nothing more.

Everyone’s got a good point about Margot Robbie, the guy is judging the position she’s in with unlocking it as himself, but Harley Quinn as a character does have incredible strength, flexibility, and precision because she was a gymnast. A normal escape artist might struggle a lot more but a character like Harley is the most likely to succeed (and apparently Robbie actually did unlock it which proves the point lol)

[@yunofun]

I think he is still on point about how easy she got the key in there in the movie though. Yes she did this for real on set, but I am willing to bet there is quite a bit of moving the key around with her foot before finding the keyway that was cut out.

[@baraths2]

Robbie actually did unlock it - Was she hanging on wires or was it entirely core body strength ?

@@baraths2 Yes I am aware she unlocked it. I am only questioning how. In the movie it is one smooth motion, she manages to get the key in the lock right away with no fumbling about.

The Now You See Me scene is clearly filmed in such a way that either the key was simply left in the lock so she could sort of palm the keyturn to open the lock or the lock was literally just left unlatched in such a way that it would look locked at first glance. However, there actually are super-low quality locks on the market that can be just jiggled open.

The easiest way to break a zip tie that's fastened to a solid surface is to hit it with something solid, a hammer, pipe, wrench. Basically, pull it snug, then hit it solid and it'll crush the plastic to the point of breaking or at least thin enough that very little force is needed to snap it.

[@michaelparham1328]

In my opinion, picking locks isn't nearly as hard as anyone assumes it to be, or thinks it should be. It's scarily easy in some regards. Well, it's hard if you do it the right way, but there's much easier ways. I learned with proper tools and a clear lock. The main thing I learned from that, is that finding each pin's proper place is difficult, and time consuming. Instead, raking easier, and in my experience, much faster. Essentially, your running your pick across the pins in quick succession while applying light pressure with the "pry bar". You're not trying to find each pins position, more so you're trying all the pins more often. What it lacks in precision, it makes up for in repetition. Once I learned, I started trying diy picks, which took longer, but all still worked. My best combo was a hair pin, and a safety pin. You can also make something called a bump key really easily, and lastly, you can just buy a locksmith kit. It's funny that when people learn you can pick locks easily, they get somewhat worried, yet nobody ever thinks about professional locksmiths being criminals.

Then I started practicing on my door. I've now gotten proficient enough that I can pick pretty much any standard lock within a few seconds. Why? Just a skill I wanted to have. It's let me get into my home and car several times when I've locked myself out...otherwise, it's one of those skills I can break out at parties.

Movies almost always use the same locking picking technique for a door. I've never seen anyone use a bump key method. Also, in the 80s there was a show (can't remember which one it was), with a nerdy, scientist sidekick who invented a canned foam that he sprayed into a lock. It was thick enough foam to raise all the pins to their correct positions before it 'quick dried', and he was able to turn the lock with the can. I'd always wondered if anything like that is really possible, but I guess there isn't a viable way for the foam to determine the height each pin needs to move to. Was still a cool idea for the time.

I wish you would have done Lethal Weapon 2, where the Riggs character dislocates his shoulder to get out of a straitjacket. Taken 3 - Wouldn't the cuffs mostly likely be double-locked, preventing the shim method from working? Breaking Bad - Two things; If there were any tacks/pins in the posters, you might be able to use one to shim the zip tie and get it to release. It would depend on how long the pin was and if you could access the back of the locking part. Secondly, if I were going to use any kind of heat to burn through a zip tie, I'd apply it to the part that was around the radiator, not the part touching my wrist! Terminator 2 - She was using a paperclip. A previous scene showed her taking it off a table when nobody was looking. I've tried picking locks with homemade tools (but slightly better than a paperclip) and was never able to do it. On the other hand, cheap locking cases (small strongboxes, disk cases, etc) can usually be opened with just a nail file.

Lockpicking scenes with the Lockpicking lawyer would be sweet.

Fantastic beard you got there 10/10 :)

[@Vinkalu21]

Fun fact: This scene here 9:14 was a real reaction. She panicked and really was drowning.

[@WellHelloBlue]

Does anyone have a link to the video where Margot Robie talks about her escape? I’d love to see it

[@IAmWBeard]

Bodies aren't actually buried 6ft deep. It's more like 4ft with only 14 inches of top soil between the top of the coffin vault and the outside world.

So where does the saying come from?

[@seraphina985]

@@corruptangel6793 London had a plague in 1665 where the lord mayor ordered graves to be at least that depth seems that is where it originated from.

Matt! Why no wrist check? Kidding. Cheers and great work Matt and Insider. Can't wait for more beer and watches.

[@tfgrrl2042]

Would live to see this guy come back and talk dome more about The Prestige

[@standingbear6108]

not mentioned about the cuffs is.. That its pretty much standard police procedure now days to lock the cuffs. No shim will work when the cuffs have been locked. It would require a key.

omgg i was just on celebrity beyond cruise ship matt was soo sweet and incredible

[@morphman86]

I feel like the Harley Quinn escape deserves higher rating. Particularly because the thing he complained about is something Margot Robbie actually did, that wasn't faked.

[@CaliberFiftyVideos]

Why is this video so quiet? It's -18db, I almost got a heart attack when the first Ad hit.

[@Jawsjawsjawsrg]

As far as the zip tie goes, you could use a pin to do something similar to the handcuffs. There is just a plastic tong holding it in place, just have to pull it back. I have done it before.

[@crazeeaz]

Where was this filmed that they were like "rope? I got a chain. Can you use a chain?"

[@AlexTSilver]

Apparently the guard in the Margot Robbie scene kept turning around hoping to be choked face-first

[@arxlblacktip9085]

I'd definitely hire Matt for a kids party.

[@not_max]

Fun fact: Matt Johnson the escape artist was actually on agt ( americas got talent)
