I am joined by our FNG Academy videographer and editor Abel to give a civilian perspective! This episode will be on the awesome Netflix movie "Extraction" with Chris Hemsworth. Who occasionally forgets he was not actually playing Thor in this flick!

Episode 2 is live! John Wick! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAzfzxJ7x1U

Part of Hemsworth's character is that he's depressed and somewhat suicidal. Hence the cliff jumping and not caring about the 1911 potentially going off in his face.

That actually does work with the zip ties. You have to make them as tight as possible and then the rapid arms back into the body will pop a zip tie open. They have poor shear resistance and it's only a tiny piece of plastic holding the strap in place. Awesome video though. Would definitely watch more of these.

I’m a Marine who’s done SERE. You can, and are encouraged, to break zip ties that way. It won’t work with the handcuff zipties, but with the loop, you tighten it as tight as you can and break the zipties with that same maneuver. Doesn’t take much strength and is more about the speed of the maneuver. That’s what manipulates the tension.
-
In accordance with him jumping off the cliff. He was A) depressed/suicidal due to him losing his family and B) has probably done that jump 100 times
-
Buck, love the breakdown. I appreciate that you don’t just trash the movie because of the inaccuracies. In my opinion too many Veterans trash war/action movies based on their experiences instead of just accepting that it’s a movie and enjoying it.
-
His character is Aussie in the story, so he’s mostly likely ex SASR or an Aussie Commando
-
A lot of the "hollywood dramatization" can be explained by reminding the audience that Tyler's got a deathwish. Like when he called the bluff on the chamber being loaded on the pistol, part of him wanted it. You get the idea
-
You know, for a Netflix exclusive I thought the movie was pretty entertaining. Chris Hemsworth played the role really well, and his weapon handling skills were on point. You can always tell when an actor is comfortable around weapons, by the way they handle them. It's pretty easy to spot those who aren't.

you can absolutely break zip ties exactly as depicted in the movie, also getting them as tight as possible first (as shown) is vital to prevent wrist damage, but use your waist/torso as "the wedge" instead of your thigh to prevent injury in case the maneuver fails. This method will work with pretty much every size zip-tie, even metal reinforced tab ties, however it usually will not work with actual flex cuffs and some 100% continuous steel ties that are plastic coated. If the technique is practiced correctly, even a failed attempt should not cause serious injury... you can practice at home with "regular size" ties to perfect the basic motion/technique with little risk, but actual professional courses for self defense, survival/escape & evasion, and medical treatment/TCCC are always the smarter option and always worth the investment... get after it 💪👍

Guys the gun is a UMP my bad! also the zip tie thing will work with those smaller ties, we used the thicker ones in SERE.
-
Aside from having incredible fight scenes, the inner turmoil, anguish, and guilt Hemsworth's character goes throughout the story elevates it way above typical action films.
-
"Turns out there's a round in the chamber" "Weeee!" I laughed way too hard at that 🤣
-
Buck, fantastic series. Would like to see your take on some more. This was a great movie, kind of deep when you get under the hood of the character’s mental mindset. Thanks, keep at it.
-
The long wait was well worth it! The fact about skipping rounds was super interesting and something I hadn’t heard in other reactions to this movie. Keep up the great work Buck!
-
The camera and stunt work in this was phenomenal. The scene where they fall and the camera falls w them. Great stuff.
-
Just a note on the zip ties. There are "restraint" zip ties and normal "tie your computer cables up" zip ties. The former are not likely to be broken with the move that Hemsworth pulled, the later can be as the locking tooth is pretty weak.

Grandpa was a paratrooper with the 101st in ww2; he always said the guy who wins a knife fight is the one who bleeds the least
-
Fire series Buck 🔥 🤙🏼, great idea keep it up 👍🏼!! So nice to see the channel getting bigger and better.
-
This is crazy - I searched "veterans react to extraction" and didnt find much. Then THIS! Been a fan of this channel for a long time and you're only getting better and better!
