We used to gamgle cards with a Yak in Osaka, who we knew from something a lot like God Father 2 who asked my roomate to hold on to a bike in his apartment for a couple of days, and we said yes because we thought he meant like a bicycle then brought in like three motorbikes and we were luck uh ok, so in a 2 DK with three bikes for a month, then he came back and got them and suddenly we were all buddies, but he would get drunk and make all types of jokes about not having a finger.

I mean, some people deserve redemption and it’s not like their skill set is useless. I lot of good things we have are built on the knowledge on some really bad things. Part of comprising is not looking too closely at a person’s past. It’s all contextual obviously, but you know how it is.
It's american. They love their celebrity criminals. It distracts them from the actual criminals they support just so they can live their toxic and deadly lifestyles!
Fun fact: in many movies, whenever there are piles of gold bars / ingots depicted, they are almost always stacked the wrong way up, with the actual bottom side facing up. Gold is pretty heavy and a single standard ingot like the ones I think they want to depict at 34:15 could easily weigh like 25 to 30 lbs if not more. With the wide side facing up, you have a far better grip than if you have to lift it up just by the edges. Especially if you lift an ingot from a flat surface. It can be done with practice, but it is difficult. Very niche issue to have but still.
You can see gold stacked both ways in Google images; there's even one shot (in a German bank) both ways in the same stack, narrow side down on the bottom ingots. I'm speaking real stacks, mind, not the hundreds of CGI images; those are always broad side down.
I worked in banking for over a decade, most of which involved branch ops, vault keeping, and audits. When asked if I ever was tempted to pull a vault heist using my knowledge, I always said no. Robbing a bank is one thing. _Getting away with it_ is something else entirely. I've written whole essays explaining how it ridiculously difficult it would be. The most realistic movie bank heist is in Dog Day Afternoon, because (aside from it being based on a true story) they fail almost _immediately._
amen to that... it only takes one blabbermouth to get caught and you have to somehow move the money around so they can be added to your disposable income without making too much noise. wasn't in banking, but international transportation and security.
The break dancing heist from Ocean’s 12 is still, to this day, the most insultingly ludicrous thing I’ve ever seen a movie try to sell to an audience. They even said in the movie the laser patterns were random, which made it so much worse.
Worked in a museum for a number of years. The "vault" was covered by IR and motion, sensitivity turned all the way up. You moved the door or stuck your head in, security knew it. Using moving lasers is just dumb... still love the song and "little dance" . LOL! (and yes, a mouse's body heat caused rare false alarms... they posed a bigger threat to the collection so we wanted to know they were there.)
😂 I think the movie even implied how absurd the thief was for actually considering and being successful. I love/loved the movies to truly enjoy it you have to treat it as a comedy. Just like in the Batman movie how Batman has a gadget for every precise moment, that cracks me up like in Dark Knight he hung on to a van and he happened to have a metal cutter fitted on his arm 😂 absurd!
I love the casino guy pointing out that they can just make you leave the casino if you’re making too much money, you’re not doing anything illegal, they just want you to leave
Well if you are just winning, and not doing anything to give yourself an advantage they will tend to let you keep playing. But it is pretty easy to spot how people play blackjack when they are counting cards. All of a sudden they start betting more money and then go back to minimum bets and the cycle continues. In NJ, I believe, it is now illegal to kick someone out of a Casino for card counting, BUT they can always just limit your maximum bet which makes card counting much less profitable.
The art thief and art detective was my favorite part I think it’d be cool to retrieve stolen artifacts and return to the rightful owner like they did with the Ethiopian artifact
Still would go to prison for grand theft. There are no grey areas in the law. You would probably get a very light sentence for returning it but you would still go to prison. Or if you immediately return it, you would be forced into community service maybe working with law enforcement. In any case you would owe the government time.
@@anthonygordon9483bro they legally returned it on behalf of their European museum or government back to Ethiopia to be recieved legally by Ethiopian museum or government. The commenter is saying they would like that job as the person who gets to repatriate artifacts legally between countries with a colonial history.
Lol, that is not what happened. It’s mad that’s what you took away from that. He’s an art detective, he researches the history and origins of art and art ownership. He researched when and where and under what circumstances it was taken, tracing its history to prove it was stolen and then start a process to legally return it.
I love the locksmith guy because he just really loves his safes and knows them to the tee. A nerd on the art of cracking safes and safe knowledge. Love it lmao seems like such a mellow dude
I don’t remember his name, but I found the way the ex-yakuza guy speaks really captivating for some reason. Interestingly, despite the fact that he was speaking another language - one I do not speak at all, to be clear - his non-verbals were so expressive I was still able (in a general sense) to grasp/follow his intended meaning, even without the captions.
As a Thai who is trying to learn Japanese, your description about his speech and mannerisms are accurate. Mr. Shindo is speaking mostly in standard formal Japanese, which is what every adult language learner will study* before moving on to other forms. In turn, it makes him easy to listen and understand. Unfortunately I only lived/study/travel in the Kansai region so it might not paint the best picture of the entire nation as a whole, but many Japanese people (in Kansai region) are expressive in their body language. Edit*: Using Minna no Nihongo book. I’m not sure if other books or instructor will start from a different order or not.
That’s why he’s a successful pastor! He started his ministry at his mom’s bar and years later he was able to build a brand new chapel as more and more people came to listen to him. Such a great speaker. I enjoy his Sunday service on UA-cam.
There's a REALLY old safe lock on a filing cabinet in my grandfather's house. No one has touched it in years. When my grandfather passed, my family wanted to open the safe to see what's inside. Thankfully, my aunt had the passcode written somewhere, but me and my cousin had to look at UA-cam videos to figure out how it works to get it open. We did eventually get it open when we finally figured out how to turn it. We learned the hard way that those safes really don't click, and we needed to turn an extra way just to move the bolt.
I knew a bank robber, well attempted robber. In all the planning and prep they forgot to make sure the motorcycle had gas for the get away. Oh the jokes of robbing the bank for gas money never got old from our end.
You will adore this joke: French guys attempt art theft in a big museum and get caught because their van runs out of gas. On the day of the trial, one of the guys is on the stand, trying to get a smaller sentence: "We did it because we are Pór. You see, we even had no Monet to make ze Van Goh. We were completely Baroque!"
As a former bank employee, my one disagreement is around 33 minutes he said only specific employees had silent alarms, but at least at our bank, every employee had their own silent alarm and access to 1 or 2 more within arms' reach at all times.

Mostly Asian languages are too tonal and people talk with full body expressions. On international level mostly bcz of western formal setting norms they talk with less hands, body and facial expressions. It's fun for sure!
6:56 Kinda like how I've seen many women many times use their strollers for infants and toddlers, you know, large strollers with plenty of places to put things "for your baby". The stroller method is alot easier than what he said, but that's more for stealing from establishments. No cashier is going to ask to check your stroller. Also in/on large strollers It's normal to have big "baby bags" filled to the brim with stuff anyway. The fake baby method he mentions is more ideal for stealing from an individuals person.
Having kids' coats all spread out in the bottom of the cart is another common way of shoplifting. Long ago when I worked retail this was pointed out as something to watch early on. Obviously as minimum wage employees we weren't responsible for checking nor did we care but it was interesting to know that at least.
Realistically the thief would better off stealing the entire DSLR than just the lens. It takes quite a lot of pressure to press on the release button and simultaneously unscrew the lens (which has quite a friction to it) for it to go unnoticed.. 😆
the button can be tricky but my nikkor 70-300 slides out like butter. The whole body is heeeavy though, especially with the battery, he would've noticed that
31:51 about the bus going up the steps, he's actually wrong. The robbers ran up the steps, but they entered from the other side. The tellers would look right to see them entering. The bus crashed through from the left side of the tellers.
I've seen money heist, it's a good series, and the vault they broke into in that scene was indeed the one in Spain, they took a bunch of hostages to buy time to melt the gold into pellets for easier transport.
IN CANADA, in my personal experiece, every single teller station had a silent alarm rigged to the local police, as did some of the desks like managers/ loan officers. maybe less so in the USA? Banks here dont have walls of glass either though
Saw a magician who overcame that because he had his hands around the person's wrists and concentrating on him and the thing he was slipping into their hand. Watched him do it a dozen times, it was really impressive. Got the watch every time without the person noticing.
Remember also that a thief needs a matter of seconds to disappear with the object in question, the amount of time that she has her hand on his shoulder and is apologizing is all she needs. You'd be surprised how quick it is. My husband learned slight of hand and I've picked up a lot because of it.
I have worked security at a casino as security for just under 2 years. I have seen people card counting and it is usually undetectable unless they actively say it out loud. Now we do have a baccarat table where multiple of our Asian players play who do actively card count. And they say it out loud though they're saying it in another language. Mostly mandarin or Korean and most other people cant understand them
You can tell the safe cracker/bank robber who was watching The Dark Knight scenes actually loves the movie like most guys do. Even though it's bank robbing scenes are completely akin to a comic book when it comes to accuracy.
I love this series. As someone who grew up in a lesser version of the criminal lifestyle in the 80's and 90's it's very interesting to hear what the serious guys have to say about it.
12:09 when he's talking about the drill here, in the movie, they actually started with that, but then there was this locking mechanism that they were about to set off because of a small mistake, making her do it this way.
I remember standing at the top of Bourbon St where people are all crowded around the bands and thinking this is a pickpocket heaven. Plus they're all wearing these convention badges that scream rob me
Years ago I was in line at a convenience store, and noticed three things about the woman in front of me. One that she was notably hot, two that she was armed, three that I could have easily stolen that Glock were I so inclined. It didn't have a strap even, just stuck in a plastic-y (Kydex or whatever?) holster.
The Oceans 11-13 used to be my favorite movies. Was skeptical about Ocean’s 8 and it turned out to be horrendous 🤦🏽♀️. But then I saw that Rick & Morty episode about infinity heists… 😒 now I hate the Ocean movies. I can suspend disbelief for a supernatural movie or some old actor playing like he half his age but the heist movies are like the easiest of writing. It’s made to look smart and sleek but really there’s no real struggle for the characters. Everything works out to well. I think it’s for people that enjoy watching flawless plans or plans executed perfectly.
"Yubitsume is still very real" Oh. Damn. "See, look at my finger" GOD. DAMN. "I didn't do it in such a cool way, I used a hammer and chisel" *GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNN.*
Your mob guy would have no idea why they would be passing around a tray of jewelry at a meeting of the commission, so he's not qualified to comment. The reason it's done is that these are men who would be expected to bring home gifts for their wives, mothers, and daughters, etc. when they traveled, and the origanzers would invest in some fine jewelry to save the commission men time. It's a mark of how critical time management was to people operating at this level. It's not just the commission. It's done at a lot of meetings of big shots in government and business around the world. Coppola took a lot of heat for revealing that to audiences of non-wealthy unconnected people.
For the bank robber, the bank in the dark knight was a mafia bank, that’s why the employee had the gun and probably didn’t care about the security guard lol
It's EASY to pick up a wallet with chopsticks. The weight has nothing to do with it. People can't pick up sushi because they are holding the chopsticks incorrectly, not because it's too heavy.
The question is why would you use chopsticks when you can use your hands? It's the difference between stupid criminals getting caught and master criminals who make a living off it for 40 years.
At 49:53, where the voice says the guy is standing in front of about $2 million, that is not anywhere around $2 million. It's too many bills for $100 bills, and not enough for $20 bills. Source: I worked in a count room and have seen enough money to know how unrealistic most depictions of money or casino count room procedures are in media. Granted, casino count rooms can have wildly different procedures from one another. One casino I worked at, if you dropped a hot (containing money) BV can on the floor, it was an immediate write up and surveillance and gaming was notified. Another casino, same situation it was okay as long as you or another count member picked it up. Casinos handle themselves and the gaming commission holds them to whatever rules they develop for situations. I suspect, in the write up scenario, they had one too many occurrences of a count member dropping a hot can on the floor, and it not getting picked up.
Problem with the one at 3:13, DSLR lenses do not come off like that. You have to press a release button, usually at the base of the lens or slightly to the side of it, with quite a bit of force. They seem to have blacked out the brand but that looks like a Canon, so you actually have to push pretty hard to get the lens off.

Mostly Asian languages are too tonal and people talk with full body expressions. On international level mostly bcz of western formal setting norms they talk with less hands, body and facial expressions. It's fun for sure!
That Safe Cracker guy is really good. Even his voice is cracked.
Where is the option to give this several likes? Absolutely incredible how many high tiered people you got to comment deep insider stuff on this video!
Did I just watch a yt channel assemble the coolest villain squad ever
I’m helping my friend make a short move with a few crime scenes and this really helped on how to direct it thank you!
6:56 Kinda like how I've seen many women many times use their strollers for infants and toddlers, you know, large strollers with plenty of places to put things "for your baby". The stroller method is alot easier than what he said, but that's more for stealing from establishments. No cashier is going to ask to check your stroller. Also in/on large strollers It's normal to have big "baby bags" filled to the brim with stuff anyway. The fake baby method he mentions is more ideal for stealing from an individuals person.
Having kids' coats all spread out in the bottom of the cart is another common way of shoplifting. Long ago when I worked retail this was pointed out as something to watch early on. Obviously as minimum wage employees we weren't responsible for checking nor did we care but it was interesting to know that at least.
I really hope they didn’t introduce all these people to each other
now I'm a criminal mastermind, thanks insider!
“Hollywood stereotypes are ignorant”. Takes one look at Mr Pennisi. “Sometimes they get it right though” 🤷♀️
Lockpick guy did not go easy on those movies 😂😂
I like how personally offended Charlie seemed when he got to the "world's best safe cracker" scene
Like every credible expert he knows how ludicrous it is to call anyone the “worlds best” at anything
Realistically the thief would better off stealing the entire DSLR than just the lens. It takes quite a lot of pressure to press on the release button and simultaneously unscrew the lens (which has quite a friction to it) for it to go unnoticed.. 😆
the button can be tricky but my nikkor 70-300 slides out like butter. The whole body is heeeavy though, especially with the battery, he would've noticed that
Opening a safe can be done like murder or like surgery. One takes more time and skill than the other
As someone who opened a couple dozen safes, I concur. I took the murder approach btw. Lol
@@LastBastian I would think if you're doing it legally and have no reason to be covert, it's probably the easier and more common way.
The safe technician would probably like the scene in Blue Streak
Casino: hey that guy is using basic math to win, get out
People: still go to casinos….
They forgot about the heist with two Dodge Chargers and the power of FAMILY
The Yakuza guy talking about his finger was so hardcore. He didn't even look phased.
yakuza are scarrrrrrry
id never cross them
Love how the dude who safe cracks also has constant voice cracking.
I really enjoy watching these. One of the magical things about living when we do.
Pretty cool to have a highlights reel of one umbrella subject. The longer run time is fun, too.
31:51 about the bus going up the steps, he's actually wrong. The robbers ran up the steps, but they entered from the other side. The tellers would look right to see them entering. The bus crashed through from the left side of the tellers.
Yeah you get a good look at where the bus entered when it exits at the end of the Heist. No steps.
“There’s no secret bunker with an elevator “ Exactly what I’d expect him to say 😂😂😂 52:51
I've seen money heist, it's a good series, and the vault they broke into in that scene was indeed the one in Spain, they took a bunch of hostages to buy time to melt the gold into pellets for easier transport.
Cannot tell why I like so much those gangsters videos 😅
Cheers from San Diego California
Fix your writing comprehension man!
IN CANADA, in my personal experiece, every single teller station had a silent alarm rigged to the local police, as did some of the desks like managers/ loan officers. maybe less so in the USA?
Banks here dont have walls of glass either though
I would 100% notice my watch being removed from my wrist. The instant chill I feel when the sweat from my wrist starts evaporating.
Even if the thief is an eye magnet?
@Miguel Caruncho D. I'm sure they wont have the type of women I'm attracted to
Same, specially because I keep it super tight.
Saw a magician who overcame that because he had his hands around the person's wrists and concentrating on him and the thing he was slipping into their hand. Watched him do it a dozen times, it was really impressive. Got the watch every time without the person noticing.
Remember also that a thief needs a matter of seconds to disappear with the object in question, the amount of time that she has her hand on his shoulder and is apologizing is all she needs. You'd be surprised how quick it is. My husband learned slight of hand and I've picked up a lot because of it.
I have worked security at a casino as security for just under 2 years. I have seen people card counting and it is usually undetectable unless they actively say it out loud. Now we do have a baccarat table where multiple of our Asian players play who do actively card count. And they say it out loud though they're saying it in another language. Mostly mandarin or Korean and most other people cant understand them
well, insider have a full crew now, when will they strike, i wonder
You can tell the safe cracker/bank robber who was watching The Dark Knight scenes actually loves the movie like most guys do. Even though it's bank robbing scenes are completely akin to a comic book when it comes to accuracy.
42:31 Had me dying! You'll be dancing with your lasers!
47:08 "hey someone's actually winning, we need to do something about this".
"HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?"
i haven't finished watching, but can I say that I love the yakuza guy. He doesn't even give like half points. all so far are 0s, wanted negatives.
The departed was a great movie but in that particular scene you can clearly tell the boot is not actually hitting his hand.
The two art guys are actually really funny
I love this series. As someone who grew up in a lesser version of the criminal lifestyle in the 80's and 90's it's very interesting to hear what the serious guys have to say about it.
bruh they have experts in everything lol
12:09 when he's talking about the drill here, in the movie, they actually started with that, but then there was this locking mechanism that they were about to set off because of a small mistake, making her do it this way.
I remember standing at the top of Bourbon St where people are all crowded around the bands and thinking this is a pickpocket heaven. Plus they're all wearing these convention badges that scream rob me
Years ago I was in line at a convenience store, and noticed three things about the woman in front of me. One that she was notably hot, two that she was armed, three that I could have easily stolen that Glock were I so inclined. It didn't have a strap even, just stuck in a plastic-y (Kydex or whatever?) holster.
The Oceans 11-13 used to be my favorite movies. Was skeptical about Ocean’s 8 and it turned out to be horrendous 🤦🏽♀️. But then I saw that Rick & Morty episode about infinity heists… 😒 now I hate the Ocean movies. I can suspend disbelief for a supernatural movie or some old actor playing like he half his age but the heist movies are like the easiest of writing. It’s made to look smart and sleek but really there’s no real struggle for the characters. Everything works out to well. I think it’s for people that enjoy watching flawless plans or plans executed perfectly.
What’s the name of the dramatic music playing behind the bank robber and yakuza videos? I actually like it. It’s so beautifully creepy.
"if you can't do the time, don't do the time. i did crimes, i can do the times. i did a lot of time" THAT is a sick line !!
"Yubitsume is still very real"
Oh. Damn.
"See, look at my finger"
GOD. DAMN.
"I didn't do it in such a cool way, I used a hammer and chisel"
*GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNN.*
Your mob guy would have no idea why they would be passing around a tray of jewelry at a meeting of the commission, so he's not qualified to comment.
The reason it's done is that these are men who would be expected to bring home gifts for their wives, mothers, and daughters, etc. when they traveled, and the origanzers would invest in some fine jewelry to save the commission men time.
It's a mark of how critical time management was to people operating at this level. It's not just the commission. It's done at a lot of meetings of big shots in government and business around the world. Coppola took a lot of heat for revealing that to audiences of non-wealthy unconnected people.
For the bank robber, the bank in the dark knight was a mafia bank, that’s why the employee had the gun and probably didn’t care about the security guard lol
It's EASY to pick up a wallet with chopsticks. The weight has nothing to do with it. People can't pick up sushi because they are holding the chopsticks incorrectly, not because it's too heavy.
The question is why would you use chopsticks when you can use your hands? It's the difference between stupid criminals getting caught and master criminals who make a living off it for 40 years.
Weight can determine if it slips out or not.
I've worked in and cleaned banks: in most of them, EVERY teller had a silent alarm button.
Are we really surprised any Scorsese film would be more technically accurate then a Disney/Marvel film?
The laugh the laugh is terrifying 😨 37:19
The yakuza stuff was cool
Wouldn't bat an eye if something bad happened to them.
Stop using scenes from comic book movies, we’re not expecting accuracy…half of them have super strength and can literally fly away…
lol when actual criminals start rating criminal activities in movies ... everything gets bashed down
Its funny hearing how totally into pickpocketing the pickpocket expert was and see how much they insisted they don't do crime anymore.
Good luck trying to steal anything from my purse. I can't find anything in it while I'm looking in it and digging around with both hands.
Friendly suggestion, Insider: turn up the volume!
The last guy makes me think there is tunnels that connect the casinos
At 49:53, where the voice says the guy is standing in front of about $2 million, that is not anywhere around $2 million. It's too many bills for $100 bills, and not enough for $20 bills. Source: I worked in a count room and have seen enough money to know how unrealistic most depictions of money or casino count room procedures are in media.
Granted, casino count rooms can have wildly different procedures from one another. One casino I worked at, if you dropped a hot (containing money) BV can on the floor, it was an immediate write up and surveillance and gaming was notified. Another casino, same situation it was okay as long as you or another count member picked it up. Casinos handle themselves and the gaming commission holds them to whatever rules they develop for situations. I suspect, in the write up scenario, they had one too many occurrences of a count member dropping a hot can on the floor, and it not getting picked up.
Love your vids
Problem with the one at 3:13, DSLR lenses do not come off like that. You have to press a release button, usually at the base of the lens or slightly to the side of it, with quite a bit of force. They seem to have blacked out the brand but that looks like a Canon, so you actually have to push pretty hard to get the lens off.
This got serious when the yakuza guy came on. Very informative
avengers for "how real crime is in movies", love it
As far as the fingertips model being inverse, wouldnt the tape be inverse so then the glue replica be the original orientation?
Yes.
you are absolutely right.
I'd love to see you guys break down White Collar episodes!
Idk why these people would publicly identify themselves criminals. Absolutely crazy.
In The Dark Knight the man has a gun because it's a bank run by mafia.
@51:34 A two way mirror?
So a window. 😂
Nah, that detective has that former art thief tied to his waist.
"I'm not losing you out my sight again"
White Collar shenanigans
