Very funny Raimundo! :lol:

Chain guns are a bit rough on your valuables and the ricochets might be a little bit of an adventure, but I bet it sure would be interesting to see how a safe held up against that thing Mythbusters used...

Always wondered why the cops wore sunglasses.. to use as handcuff picks when they have lost their keys... will ask the next one I see. :D (2) I thought it was farenheit 451 not 45.

Personally, I think Angelina_Jolie looks like a horse. She is not even a little bit attractive.

I watched it to see An.gel.na Jo.lie walking around in her underwear. Good flick.

I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread yet since I don't read it regularly, but I caught a small part of _Madagascar_ this morning while my son was watching it, and apparently one of the penguins picks a lock with a single paperclip. I told him that was impossible and that the penguin should have at least had another paperclip to use as a wrench. Probably ruined the rest of the movie for him.

Been quite busy lately so haven't had a chance to read up on new posts or check out much of the advanced area which I'm really about having access to now. :D

And as for the reason I'm posting here, the new Sherlock Holmes movie that's supposed to come out in December looks like it has some picking in it.

Probably not going to be that bad of a movie but from the looks of it not going to be great either.

Anyone here complaining about Tension wrenches not being used in movies clearly doesn't understand the meaning "Super light pressure" :wink:

Well, the computer hacking is just banging on the keyboard, and hot wiring is just putting there hand below the dash board, Doubt the lock picking is any different :P

Pushing aside the shame it takes to admit I watched the new Friday the 13th. However, in one scene a "victim" is chained up and cracks open a GPS device that contains perfect pick type material that they instantly go to work on an old, looks like some sort of warded lock. Maybe these actors are members here at LP 101 and we just don't know it.
