I still kinda don’t buy that there is a hacksaw blade capable of cutting through bone but not metal. Cool scene tho
I remembered this scene and saw the saw and immediately said that that specific saw is made to cut metal.
I bought one of these saws. The guy at the store said “that’s a metal saw”. I said “yeh duh what else would saws be made out of.” I took it home and struggled immensely with sawing the wood trim I was using it on. It took me a solid SIX MONTHS to click in to what he meant when he said “it’s a metal saw.”
Maybe he also meant “dude, that saw is really metal”. Who knows what that saw has been capable of.
Could a hacksaw cut through carbide steel or some other super strong alloy? Maybe the chain was made of some such material and it’s not that the saw sucked but that the chain was special.
Like, I have tools made to cut metal, but they don’t work on every metal.
I would except that as an excuse if they would’ve mentioned it at some point.
Also the hacksaw extends his reach by 50 cm so he could have grabbed the phone with it.
If you made a custom alloy blade that was harder than calcium carbonate but softer than steel, it would work.
Same idea with those dental tools you can get in the drug store, hard enough to chip plaque but soft enough to deform against enamel. Hypothetically can’t damage your teeth unless you get stupid and use it as a lever or something.
I’m pretty sure you could even use the back of the blade and the friction alone would work with enough time
I’ll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.
Fantastic movie. Also essentially a completely different genre than all the sequels.
I was very pleasantly surprised watching it for the first time a few months ago. Then tried the sequels, holy crap that went downhill fast. Gave up during 3
Hey, he said it! That’s the name of the thing!
After, was it Hot Tub Time Machine (uhg)?, I am destined to always notice and think just that.
…ah, the Title Drop.
Rrrroll credits!
“As you wish.”
Roll credits!
He’s supposed to eat all their butts.
Promise?
