Crime Experts Rate 24 Cons And Heists In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

I love how the Yakuza guy is like "I didn't cut my finger off in such a cool way." Then goes on to describe a way cooler way of doing it...also way more intense and crazy.
exactly!! I was just checking the comments to make sure this one existed
It got an audible reaction from me. Glad to see others appreciate it too.
From the Japanese cultural perspective the harder method, doing it with less tools, is the cooler method. I agree. The clip of teh guy cutting his finger off in one go with just his arm, palm down is probably like the hardest way to do it.
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.
@@spornge wow, a little scary, but cool.
I love how Tatsuya Shindo was just straight up like, "You are awarded zero style points, this is ridiculous." A chisel and hammer, gimme a break... that is the hardest bastard I've ever seen.
seems so light hearted, then it came to that finger thing and I was like holy shiz lol
Coming from a culture where leaders would, not that long ago, commit seppuku for making mistakes. I feel like missing a part of your finger is mild in comparison to disembowelment (once again, the person does it to themselves). Maybe thats why its not as big a deal to him.
@@digitalphoenix72 and don't forget the levels of brainwashing it took for kamikaze pilots...
@@digitalphoenix72 Also the country responsible for kamikaze which was basically murder-suicide by plane... yeah, I guess chopping the end of your finger off isn't as extreme? definitely still extreme tho
That one man with over 100 banks robbed in 2 years and didn't get caught, instead turned himself in. Absolute madlad.
He got bored at being too good.
gigachad move
They already had his name and were investigating him when he turned himself in
He was about to be brought in
he only admitted 100 out of 200
An ex-Yakuza member calling a Deadpool movie absurd, is definitely spot-on. Deadpool is indeed absurd even in the Marvel Universe.
37:51 The *_yakuza guy_* talking about _yubitsume_ and then showing his cut finger, then how he cut it _really_ got me.
every expert: "this is terrible"
the one British expert: "Brilliant!"
Yeh. They're for the most reviewing different films. 🙄 Ask your helper.
He's English not British.
@@jac9301 You can be English and British. I am.
@@jac9301 If you are English, then you are British.
It's pronounced GIF
I really wonder where Insider gets all of the ex-con, like "Hey, I heard you're a bad person before, care to join us and rate some movie scenes"
Probably because they don't say "We're looking for people who were bad people.". They say "We're looking for ex-cons."
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!
Most of these dudes use their skills for "good" now and aren't a part of that life anymore. Especially not the ex- organized crime guys
Because they all work with law enforcement/reform programs
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
Please enable captions. I cannot be your only deaf fan. I'd have definitely preferred a sequel to one of these videos rather than a compilation of all the vids I've seen.
**Edit- captions now seem to be working, thank you!**
Odd. I have captions?
I said the same thing.. I've seen these ones a few times already.. I want to see how a guard and an inmate talk about prison life
@@sih1095 They seem to be enabled, now- guess there was a delay between posting and now? Not sure. Just know they weren't available when I tried to watch this video an hour ago. They are on now, so that's good. will amend comment. Thank you :)
@@stanktaint15 That would be an interesting one, they could review shows like Orange is the New Black etc, and talk about things. That would be interesting.
@@Maazzzo since these are only the autogenerated ones it probably takes some time for RUclips to process the audio to generate them
Holy crap the way the Yakuza talks about cutting off his finger like its just a funny childhood memory!
yakuza man opens with "i like bath houses", and then we get to hear about the time he chiseled his finger off and how others do it. Neato
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.)
And how would the security system detect if a beam was interrupted? There's no receiver.
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.
😊😊
That IS a fun fact! Thanks!
😊
I appreciate this truly fun fact
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.
"There's no way you would take a sword inside a bath. That would ruin the sword right away."
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._
Yet the expert they brought in robbed over 100 banks in 2 years and got away with it and only turned himself in because he had a guilty conscious?
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.
People who rob a bank only once get away with it more than you think.
@@tylernichols6768you don’t know what I think.
@@DS-lp5xt😊
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!"
@@pier-lucgaranddion1527god damn it that joke made me smile so hard XD
@@pier-lucgaranddion1527Good one. 😂
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.
I want that sweater!
@@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.
@@anthonygordon9483 I agree all of italy should be in prison
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 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.
Agreed. He was very enigmatic
and loved when he scoffed at some of the things being done.
Tatsuya Shindo
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 RUclips.
Casino: hey that guy is using basic math to win, get out
People: still go to casinos….
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 RUclips 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.
16:00 The story about the Blockbuster safe is fantastic. I would love to have seen the owner's reaction when he finished that particular job.
We should band all these guys who are reacting into a highly efficient skilled team to rob some world class bank Oceans eleven style 😂
The too recent tragedy of Palmyra comes to mind. Palmyra, "suffered irreparable harm when ISIS overran the city." The sort of team you're describing could have been used to recover items from the libraries before said libraries were destroyed.
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
"You have got your wallet... ...But I've got your credit cards."
There really are some people out there that are hard as a coffin nail.
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.
Theres a massive difference between big chain banks and local rural banks
@@davidmaitland3238 Nope all desk and every teller window has a trigger. Even the desk in the back. Most likely the bank insurance company would have that mandated for a bank.
Same here. I was WTH he talking about. literally ever teller window and every employee desk has a trigger.
@@davidmaitland3238 no they're regulated in order to have their insurance from the feds they have to have alarms everywhere
I liked how incredulous that guy was about the dancing around the lasers 😂
I particularly enjoyed having the art thief & art detective narrate together... that was fantastic!
yakuza are scarrrrrrry
id never cross them
The Yakuza guy talking about his finger was so hardcore. He didn't even look phased.
Love how the dude who safe cracks also has constant voice cracking.
The guy committed over 100 bank robberies in almost 2 years! That's insane.
But the FBI agent on his case said it was probably around 32. The guy exaggerates.
It's a clip show. Maybe "the best of" would have been more appropriate video title
I love how casinos say its not illegal to card count but theyll boot you because god forbid a casino looses money money !
It’s not illegal but like all businesses they have a right to refuse service
Yeah all the odds are stacked against the customer, but when you try to even the odds through LEGAL means they cry foul. The house always wins. The business model of gambling is built on the house having better odds, that's how they make profit. If you think you've got good odds, you should know the house has much better odds that you LOL. 😆
@@TomCruz54321 You've already lost just by wanting to go to a casino in the first place
The safe technician would probably like the scene in Blue Streak
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.
Did I just watch a yt channel assemble the coolest villain squad ever
I really love Japanese when explaining things. It's like you're actually experiencing the scenario.
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!
“Hollywood stereotypes are ignorant”. Takes one look at Mr Pennisi. “Sometimes they get it right though” 🤷♀️
That japanese guy was so cool, casually explaining how he cut his fingers.
In Japan, if you get caught with a blade longer than 5", you're in deep; so they choose to use handguns, instead. Nevermind that guns are so strictly regulated that a citizen can't get a hunting rifle until they have gone through the permitting process for a shotgun 4 times (10 years) and most on-duty officers aren't even permitted to have a handgun. Granted, a pistol is easier to conceal than a Katana, Wakizashi or Tanto; but they announce their presence quite loudly when used.
It also goes to show that even the strictest of gun laws doesn't prevent crime and gun violence, it just ensures that only the bad actors have access to them.
I really hope they didn’t introduce all these people to each other
7:07 "you can buy realistic babies. I've actually witnessed and seen the babies, and I do the baby trick myself."
I loved when he said that he was a pocketer for hire
now I'm a criminal mastermind, thanks insider!
They forgot about the heist with two Dodge Chargers and the power of FAMILY
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
well, insider have a full crew now, when will they strike, i wonder
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!
That Safe Cracker guy is really good. Even his voice is cracked.
Cannot tell why I like so much those gangsters videos 😅
Cheers from San Diego California
Fix your writing comprehension man!
Next time: war criminals reacts war scenes
Well, those aren't exactly in short supply.
That kind of exists in the movie "the act of killing" (documentary)
Doubt Putin will be on this channel
@@HiroJJ94or bush
I desperately want to see a "illegal arms trafficker reacts to 'Lord of War'" video
47:08 "hey someone's actually winning, we need to do something about this".
“There’s no secret bunker with an elevator “ Exactly what I’d expect him to say 😂😂😂 52:51
The yakuza stuff was cool
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.
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!
The two art guys are actually really funny
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.
This is one of the most fascinating and informative series I have viewed on RUclips. What an excellent idea!
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 really enjoy watching these. One of the magical things about living when we do.
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
42:31 Had me dying! You'll be dancing with your lasers!
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
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
Lockpick guy did not go easy on those movies 😂😂
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.
Wouldn't bat an eye if something bad happened to them.
I guess it's been 2 months so you are aware of the volume issues around minute 19:33. it may also be something wrong with my computer idk
Pretty cool to have a highlights reel of one umbrella subject. The longer run time is fun, too.
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.
bruh they have experts in everything lol
"HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?"
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.
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
@51:34 A two way mirror?
So a window. 😂
The departed was a great movie but in that particular scene you can clearly tell the boot is not actually hitting his hand.
Are we really surprised any Scorsese film would be more technically accurate then a Disney/Marvel film?
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.
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.
In The Dark Knight the man has a gun because it's a bank run by mafia.
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
Its funny hearing how totally into pickpocketing the pickpocket expert was and see how much they insisted they don't do crime anymore.
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.
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.
Excellent video!
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.
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'd love to see you guys break down White Collar episodes!
Someone please help me figure out what that sweater is the art thief is wearing i want one. It is beautiful.
Stop using scenes from comic book movies, we’re not expecting accuracy…half of them have super strength and can literally fly away…
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.
I absolutely love these 😊
What is this cast? Ocean's Eleven?!
🤣 they're literally the real ocean 11
I was pretty grossed out by the way he explained on how to remove your finger I've sliced fingers to the bone before so it was basically reliving that moment
The last guy makes me think there is tunnels that connect the casinos
I learned two things travelling abroad. First was that despite how uncomfortable it might be, carry money, cards, and ID in a thick wallet no matter how uncomfortable it might be. Second, only carry that wallet in your front pockets, it might put a little pressure on your thigh, but it is a much more difficult target, especially on blue jeans the opening for the target is small, and that is the biggest thing, make yourself and your posessions a hard enough target that pick pockets don't even bother with you.
Final point, wallet chains don't work, the pick pocket will just slip the wallet out and carry it behind you while taking the contents, then drop it and disappear into the crowd once the got what they can take without being caught.
"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.*
The bit where Magot Robbie steals the watch... Does it get undone so easily? Especially when it looks like a pin and hole lock?
