First movie I ever saw with Patrick McGoohan was Silver Streak. That made me a fan of his.

Jesus Christ. What was the need for all that ? We get it !

0:38 You’ve got a lot of birthday candles to blow out before the guards find you.

[@christopherdean1326]

I think that's technically soldering or brazing rather than welding....

[@Wh4L205]

Your are correct my friend, and in actuality it would’ve broke many times with all that chipping of concrete

[@Carlito_Brigante93]

@@Wh4L205Exactly, it would have broken after the first few stabs but nonetheless, an absolute masterpiece this movie.

Thats a very strong hand, not even a cloth or paper to prevent thermal conductivity

I mean, its Clint we're talking about. 😁

[@sveinsigurdgismarvik4445]

And all started with a nailclipper...😂

I went in one of these Alcatraz cells and it was so small. If you’re ever in the Bay Area check it out.

Guard: I smell something burning.
Frank Lee Morris: I don’t smell anything.
Me: Maybe someone’s having a birthday.

Me: I'm making a digging tool. Come at me bish!!

Inmate: Hey Frank, what’s burning?
Frank: 🤫 You see one of those bulls coming, you start whistling.
Me: I didn’t know that guards were called bulls back in the day.

[@Carlito_Brigante93]

Not just prison guards but cops in general are also referred to as bulls

[@O-DogKubrick]

@@Carlito_Brigante93 Back in the 1960’s, they were called fat 🐖. During the time when the Black Panther party was initiated.

[@O-DogKubrick]

@@Carlito_Brigante93 Many protestors back in the 60’s called them cops pigs. Black people too. Because of how they’ve been sending many comrades to Vietnam 🇻🇳. And they would easily get killed in their first battles.

[@O-DogKubrick]

@@Carlito_Brigante93 That’s what many protestors called them cops, pigs. The black panther party too. Because of how corruptive the government & the cops were. Especially when many comrades were easily killed in the Vietnam War.

[@lylesommers5018]

But frank i dunno how to whistle

[@adamcheong4742]

Hard to believe the prisoners can get their hands on all kinds of things.

[@RangaTurk]

What about the Art Gault hose shower from Nina in D - Block?

[@frankroper3274]

That reminds me of the fire chief here in Joanna...you call in a fire and he says he don't smell anything!

[@cobrabull8289]

😂 hm? I dont smell anything 👍🏻

I put in a request to MythBusters to recreate this but nada.

[@jordytorrex4087]

I’ve been tryna figure out if this works

[@dagobertotrevino3172]

@@jordytorrex4087well you get metal shavings and put it on top of where you want both objects to connect. I’m assuming the heat causes the metal shavings to melt into the metal making it one piece.

[@toddhendricks1727]

For sticking or digging?

[@nobodynothing00000]

it's unlikely he would be able to hide that burning smell

[@vitorcassius]

it's a movie, idiot

[@DMalltheway]

This scene was just added for dramatic purposes

[@mpgnz73]

He didn't hide it - sense the statement from the guard.
