- if you are a news helicopter, dont bother using the zoom on your camera. no, just fly right up to the ledge and try to film it from 6 feet away
- if you want to break into the roof of a building dont try and do it secretly when no-one might be looking. no, first make sure that you have a giant crowd of people and policemen and news cameras and make sure that they are all looking up at that exact moment
- make sure that you leave all the detailed plans in your cell before you escape. don't worry, nobody will even bother looking through your things after you escape, they'll only do that later if they can think of a reason
- if you're lucky there is a mattress lying around on the roof of the building already, so you only have to bring along a heavy slab of metal and a variety of different heavy looking drills etc
- in a top security vault the panels next to it just sort of peel open so you can smash the wall up and then clean up the mess within less than a minute if you need to
- top security vaults needs so much air in them that they will have a gigantic air shaft that you can fit a person through
- to enter the vault you enter through the air vent at ground level next to the door, crawl along far enough to make you claustrophobic, then drop down to the floor below yet still be on the same level
"to enter the vault you enter through the air vent at ground level next to the door, crawl along far enough to make you claustrophobic, then drop down to the floor below yet still be on the same level"
Thank god someone mentioned that, it was driving me a bit nuts, I guess theres a reason and without seeing a building plan thingie we wont know the reason why but it seemed so freakin odd! she didnt at any point climb up a shaft did she? So why did she suddenly need too drop down?!
Number whatever -People in new york take newborn babies along to watch jumpers (50 minutes in, shes in the crowd, babe in arms)
Number whatever+another - promo pictures for films exagerate the amount of people intrested in watching a man jump from a ledge
Why not this one: wipe all your fingertrips from the room just to leave them on the window when you open it to stand on the ledge. And not one of the cops will think about checking it. Yeah sure how would they know a guy had to touch it just to be where he is ?
If you check into a hotel, they will very conveniently give you a room on the 25th floor. Imagine the conversation - Receptionist: "welcome, Mr Cassidy. You're in room 210 on the 2nd floor, just up the stairs over there....". Nick: "oh, damn.....er........er......"
- Ed Harris will blow you a cheeky kiss and a wave as he walks away from the crime scene and nobody will think nothing of it
- The best time & place to propose to your girlfriend is after a very stressful day in a crowded bar.
- It's very easy to walk through crowds & persue the man your after even though everyone is there to see you.
- It's fine to steal another diamond ring in lesser value than $40 to give to your girlfriend as an engagement ring as long as it belongs to the bad guy
141. When someone is standing on a narrow ledge threatening to jump, but not jumping, fly your helicopter close in an attempt to blow him off the ledge so you can get that shot of him falling off.
142. Why do the heist yourself even if you know the security layout so well. Have your brother and his girlfriend do it for you while you hang out on a ledge.
143. Just tell the prison/court system that you have to attend your father's funeral, even though it's a fake funeral. The prison will not check the records.
144. If you escape from prison, don't worry, your picture is not being sent to every police department in the country. In fact, your former colleagues in your own city will not recognize you either.
145. Have your father, who's a bar owner, get a job at the hotel for the sole purpose of passing the diamond off from your brother to him, then to you. Nice way to include all your family in a crime.
146: When your dad is undercover as a bellhop and serves you a cheeseburger while your out on a ledge, just eat it. Everybody needs nourishment, even during a major heist like this.
147. The magic carpetbag from 1964's Mary Poppins finally makes a re-appearance when Billy Elliott brings it on a heist and pulls about 300 things weighing a ton out of it.
"Spock! Form an away team! You, me, Bones, Scotty and umm... Ensign Smith!"
148. In times of high stress, people revert to their first language. if her first lamguage is Spanish, then she will revert to it at times like this
149. Ummm...why not? i'm Irish as they make 'em here, I see no reason for objecting. More bigoted irish guys might dislike her either marrying an Englishman, or a Pakistani/Indian...but not apart from that
150. Who said it proved he was an honest man? The bellhop simply tells the detective. he never says it shows he's honest
151. If you're on an elaborate heist and you drop one of your tools in an elevator shaft, just hope you won't need it.
152. It's a proven method for a sucide negotiator to engage and disengage her subject on a ledge, returning to the room just to have prolonged coffee breaks and random conversations with her colleagues inside. This builds confidence and trust with the subject. And makes her in fact the best in town.
