- What's up everyone?!! You asked for it, here it is! Welcome to our new series "Beers and Breakdowns"! In this series, we break down popular war footage comparing reality from a Green Beret's perspective against Hollywood's dramatization.
We will be cracking beers and enjoying some epic and sometimes terrible war footage! Stick around for more and make sure you like and subscribe to keep the content rolling!
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!

You should do the green berets with John Wayne
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.
yep
Yeah they missed that context.
Exactly! That’s the whole premise of the movie I thought.
Excellent point. His characters mindset starts to change towards the end of the movie. That being said, love this movie.
Exactly like how did they miss that smh. Also the fight scene again multiple men how I agree not very realistic to demolish that many men however they weren't really full grown men either lol
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.
👍 you nailed it, get them as tight as possible, but use your waist/torso as the "wedge" to minimize the risk of injury in case they don't break first try. Metal reinforced *tab* zip-ties can also be broken this way if you really commit, basically anything besides actual quality flex cuffs or plastic coated steel ties can be defeated with this method. If you want to practice the motion/technique with little risk of injury you can practice with cheap standard width ties at home, just remember the less you commit to the motion the more it will hurt 😉
100%
Not if i put 3 on
Not with zip cuffs but zip ties for sure
Yup
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.
I just commented this same thing lmao
Yep, and if it's not working, saw through them with your boot laces
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
Mentally and physically....
exactly he basically gave zero F's so I think a lot of the things his character did was due to that....when you loose your will to live danger is the name of the game
Exactly. Context is everything. His character was far from a professional ; he was a depressed, suicidal guy who lost his family after his son died from cancer. He has a death wish, hence jumping from the cliff, had it killed him, would've been fine
Same for the 1911 scene. He's so cool because he doesn't care if he dies.
Come on, guys. This makes me wonder if you watched the movie, or just the highlights to review for this video
Also the bit with the gun to his head. He wants to die. So he wants to gamble with death.
These guys should not watch movies while drinking.
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.
thanks man, ill keep that in mind for future shows as well
I’m one of those vets...and that’s why I’m grounded from watching any movie that references war or counter-intel with the family.
Me: Is this based on a true story?
Him: No.
Me: Let me tell you why it’s wrong anyway.
Him: (puts on headphones, avoids hearing dissertation, enjoys movie)
I 1000% agree I can’t lie as someone in the NAVY I get made at uniform inconsistencies or inaccuracies and small stuff but enjoy movies. I avoid the tactical side as it’s a movie and actors don’t know TTP’s. I enjoyed the breakdown as well
Yes it is odd how some people take movies personally. Movies are a visual spectacle and the focus is "entertainment". Not to mention these movies are not documentaries and the military is not going to give up all its tactical secrets to hollywood so why complain that it is not accurate.
that would be cool except for the fact they have military on board consulting. thats why we talk shit about the movies.lol
His character is Aussie in the story, so he’s mostly likely ex SASR or an Aussie Commando
He is SASR.
Your an aussie commando!
Hahaha most of the green Beret training are almost similar..as we are alies w Americans .
@@faded743 no it's not sasr an commando training is alot more brutal then green berets they even said it in multiple books an story's
@@faded743 aren't both basically just based and modelled after the British SAS?
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.
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
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.
The thing with his character is the dude just doesn't care anymore and has a serious drinking problem he lost his family and just wants to die, and he would probably just shoot himself if he keeps surviving suicide missions and stupid decisions he makes, the cliff jump he has probably done a ton of times since it looks like he has a hangout set up there and the older dude doesn't seem fazed by it since he's seen him do it before. The part with the pistol scene is he knows there is no mag so there probably isn't around in the chamber and he doesn't really care if there is since he still wants to die and isn't fighting for the kid yet. In summary, the dude is broken mentally and physically doesn't care if he dies until he gets to know and take care of the kid and wants to get him out since that gives him a purpose.
@@Hestaka agreed
If you want this series to continue hit the "LIKE" button! Thanks everyone!
Noice man
Please continue this series buck, loving this it’s pure gold 😂
@@FNGACADEMY Hey Buck, happy national Purple Heart day
I got hit by a car
....it sucked lol
Bmw pansie lol
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 💪👍
The locking mechanism in zip ties is really weak if you know how to properly pop them it can be quicker than cutting
@@freshyyd2584 Definitely! Just keep an eye out for metal lock tab reinforced zip ties... you'll want those really tight first! But high end purpose built flex cuffs are just a recipe for sore wrists 😄 (unless you have your E&E tools stashed in your clothing 😉 😁)
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.
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
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!
Yeh man , idk if u remember the North Hollywood shootout in the 90s but that's how the swat took out the last guy who had full body armor except around his ankles and they skipped rounds til dude couldn't get up lol
Just a note (and i know it's probably already been said) but in the first firefight scene you talked about, the bad guy is actually an H&K ump45 not an mp5. Kinda a bigger mp5 chambered in. 45acp.
Exactly.
Or 10mm. That’s what it was designed originally to fire 🔥 Pretty cool SMG too
Good catch. I went back a couple times when he said it because I always thought it was the ump.
HK UMP 45
Good catch, I was looking for this comment
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.
One thing they didn’t realize with Chris jumping off the cliff and not flinching with the pistol in his face is Chris is extremely depressed and doesn’t value his life anymore after he left while his son died.
The camera and stunt work in this was phenomenal. The scene where they fall and the camera falls w them. Great stuff.
As to the getting hit by a car scene, having been hit by a car running a right on red, I flew ten feet, rolled and bounced back up as if I was fine. Adrenaline wore off later but I felt fine for a while.
I got hit by a car (old man turning onto a side road) slammed down on the hood, bounced onto the ground couple feet in front of the car, then saw it coming towards me so i put my foot up on the bumper and it pushed me about 20feet down the road (better than it running over me and didnt have space to roll out of the way) but i was able to bounce up and with adrenaline didnt truly feel the pain right away. Luckily i only had bumps and bruises
If I remember correctly, when the Indian special forces guy gets hit by the vehicle, he gets sent flying into another vehicle. I've heard that when falling or getting thrown, rolling to a stop gives you a much greater chance of survival then coming to a complete stop on the ground or in this case, getting launched into another vehicle. So that guy probably is not simply just getting back up
@@narc440 that's a good point. He hit an object and just went splat whereas I rolled.
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!
The helmet we wear can stop small rounds and can "catch" 5.56 and 7.62.. for those it depends on range and angle.. if the round is fired at close range and hits direct itll go straight into your head.
Fire series Buck 🔥 🤙🏼, great idea keep it up 👍🏼!! So nice to see the channel getting bigger and better.
The scene where he doesn't flinch speaks MORE to "Emotional Fitness" than it does to Him being suicidal. He was present enough to ENTIRELY read the room, not just what was in front of him. It showed that He is always equipped for the psychological side of war. Given who He was in the room with, it is highly improbable that they would remove the magazine, just to leave one chambered to shoot him. And among many lowlife, making You squirm is an almost UNIVERSAL pastime. Calling bluffs is an artform.
That's right. Ain't gonna have no man who gets pissed off 5 beers telling us what the limits of psychological fortitude are.
Dope series!! Hahaha buck is pretty buzzed! That’s awesome
who me?! no way dude lol
To put the 1st scenes you mention into perspective, Chris was tired or felt guilty about what he had done/been doing in the past and didn't care if he died thus jumping off a cliff or not flinching with a gun place to his head. I think of it as the other end of the Russian roulette spectrum. I had a friend in high school that died playing Russian roulette. His brother told me it wasn't the "thrill" he just didn't care anymore.
Abel is the man! Been enjoying his guitar vids for awhile.
people don't know he can jam like that... YET!
@@FNGACADEMY haha ol’ boy is a beast on guitar! Good to see two of my most watched RUclipsrs working together.
I think that we have to take into consideration that the Character was so depressed that he doesn't care if he lives. or dies. He wants to get the job done but doesn't really care if he dies doing it. I got the feeling that he was a lot like John (?) Creasy from the book Man on Fire.
LOVE this format! Keep it up! Awesome video.
Ah man it ended so fast !! I wanted more haha great job yall would love to see more :D
one thing I appreciate about y'all is you let the whole scene play out... not interrupting all crazy like some of these other mofos lol
Noice bro 😎 and second 🥈. Plus Chris Hemsworth portrayed as a 5th SFG Green Beret Captain in '12 Strong' 2018 movie.
added for sure!
Good call!
@@FNGACADEMY cool
This was awesome! Continue this series. Thanks for the great content.
thank you!
Love the movie breakdowns Buck. My favorite hobbies, drinking good beers and action movies.
This is a great series, Buck, please continue it! I have a recommendation if you are looking for suggestions. Please review a scene from the show 'Strike Back.' The weapon handling of the actors (for the most part) is the best/most realistic i've seen. I'd love to hear your take on it. Thanks for what you do and keep up the great work!
Agreed. Great idea.
I would add the show banshee
Badass just like I thought it would be, it was buck-tastic! And yes you should make at least 1 rap video. Green Beret all stars baby hell yea
👍💪👍
definitely doing that!
looking forward to more from this series! good shit
Wow. I found the first beers and breakdowns episode.... such great content guys... love it !! Also love your Aussie accent...
Definitely waiting for the FNG - "Lambos and Chain(gunz)" rap vid now.
Great idea!!
The "save your knees" thing is legit. I used to tell the new guys that shit all the time. Nobody ever listens. Hell, I know I didn't when I was (ironically) a FNG. Although I guess it doesn't really matter anymore, seeing as I only have one leg now.
hey man thats one less future knee surgery 👍 gotta keep that glass half full, not half empty 😉
@@berryreading4809 🤣😂🤣😂 that's what I tell my family all the time. I get nothing but blank stares and "is he fucking serious?" looks.
What's a FNG and what happened to your leg?
@@lucasgrey9794 it means fucking new guy
My knees are fucked after 20 odd years lol
Abel is a cool dude ty for an amazing video you are this generation's siskel and Ebert would love to see new episodes as long as the beer is cold
Cheers and thank you for your service my dude!
we used to do cliff jumping all the time when I was growing up and in my teens and even early twenties. we jumped off a lot of stuff that was 50-70-90ft the highest i ever did was 110 feet once, but i made a lot of jumps at 70-90feet.
its not far fetched at all, its actually quite an easy "skill" you just made sure you land feet first with your feet TOGETHER( or the impact can actually make you do the splits as the water spreads your feet/legs apart and you can dislocate your hips ect) and i always tended to wear shoes for anything over 50feet, but its totally realistic and i know a TON of people who we're doing this stuff when we were legit like only 13 or 14 years old... totally not unrealistic...
I mean don't get me wrong, it is dangerous and I did see some people get hurt by landing on their backs and it seems at least one person died at these particular cliffs every year, but it is 100% a skill you can learn to get good at and do comfortably and relatively safely. you just have to commit to the jump .
I haven't done this shit in over a decade, and I still believe I could jump off a 50 footer with no problem
Can you give me a step by step on how to cliff jump that high bro? Shit sounds cool asf and I wanna do it. Thanks
@@FrankCastle65you just start small, the particular place we had was below a dam, so there were cliffs everywhere from 5-110ft so we were able to work up. 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 60, 75, ect.
The main thing is to commit and make sure to land feet first with your feet TOGETHER, as I said if you land with feet spread apart the impact can force your legs open and fuck up your hips.
As you jump you just use your arms to make sure you stay balanced in the air, and land feet first, toes pointed down. nothin to it really lol. I'd wear shoes for higher jumps 50ft and higher
You know the drink is good when you read the label 1:09
lmao only the best IPA's
Your could also read the label to make sure you never buy it again if it's bad.
Fun breakdown, hope ya'll do more of them
Bro you guys are fun to fucking watch man keep reviewing these movies just like this one please it's actually really good
Surprised that you never mentioned that it is possible for a highly trained operator to take out 9 individuals who aren’t highly trained when all those 9 come at him 1 at a time…surprised you didn’t pick up on that. Or that he creates space between him and an enemy when engaging in hand to hand.
This is a great idea for a series !!! Would love to see you discuss " DEN OF THIEVES " and "13 HOURS"
5:35 PS: The zipties can be 100% real for that size , methode for ductape would depend on type of tape
Zip Ties are lighter too...much rather carry some zip ties than a roll of Duct Tape
Nice job! I love that you are drunk, feels like i am sitting with friends that began to drunk before I arrived
Legit! I enjoyed that movie too. Honestly good to see your openess to let down your guard an get buzzed lol because most of us do... So no judging here, makes you that much more relatable Buck. Solid weekend video choice well done!
thanks dude
Keep killing it!!
Love your personalities and well edited!
thank you
Before even watching this video one thing they did that was surprising that they did and got right was Hemsworth breaking the flex cuffs. Now after watching the video I’ve seen training videos on breaking the plastic cuffs with this maneuver
I subbed liked and clicked the bell only for the reaction to the plates question , had me in stitches
Love it guys. Hope to see more content like this
Buzzed Buck seems like a fun guy to hang out with!!🍻🍺
they keep hangin out with me, so maybe lol
As for the cliff jump, I always understood it to be something he'd always done , life form childhood, especially with the reaction of his friend, and if the stunt guy did it it's clearly possible
Loved it. Can’t wait for more
That zip tie break you can totally do!!! Learned it in SV-80 and I use it as a party trick. Let us making sure it’s as tight as it can be so there’s no slack, and be committed when going for the break!!!!
I tried the zip tie thing after I watched this movie last year and it worked. Took me a few tries but ultimately it worked.
I did it once when I was younger and couldn’t do it and got so scared
Civilian Military polarity is what has been missing from a lot of these types of videos, even though BRCCs done it a little. Neat idea!
This dude is pretty clueless though 🤣. You don't need to have military background to know what plates are.
this was hilarious yet such a knowledge worthy video thanks buck
you bet dude!
Been watching the series and decided to start from the top. Hell yeah this is great.
this is an excellent movie. it feels real. even when the main bad guy at the end gets merc'd its by someone who doesnt know who he is at all and its just a split second walk by headshot like he was some red shirt. cus in reality. cus cus they are main characters doesnt mean they get some long death scene, its just over when its over
10:02 did Buck make a mistake? That looks more to me like a UMP than an MP5
He did, but he's buzzed and couldn't get a good angle of the gun.
@@josephkurtz2410 I can relate to that, cheers
I said the same thing. It's definitely an HK Ump suppressed with a red dot
I was looking for this comment cause I noticed it to but I’m not mad at him because he’s not a weapons expert and is under the influence
i think it could be an mpx . which is a trendy new platform that spec operator types use allot now. either way any of the guns weve said are 9mm and have same fire rate and specs.
Man, I've never watched a video with Abel featured, but I immediately get the idea that he is the kind guy who is VERY proud of his car...
Great video, Guys! I'd like to see more of your critiques of movies!
“They stop bullets my dude” got me to hit the sub button 💀💀
For the car thing, I was hit hard enough to send me flying into a hedge, I was fine at the time and probably could have gotten up to fight if i had to with little physical restriction, but that said, years later I still have shoulder/back problems from it, so there was definitely damage done.
Also, that is correct with the zip tie, but not for one that thick, I've done it with smaller ones in training - but the thick ones that military and police use would probably break my forearms...
I don’t think low life Indian slums gangsters would know the difference or have the foresight to get the tough ties
Awesome video guys! More like these please
lmfao, been binge watching a few of these vids and this is great stuff. keep it up
The first 2 are explained away in the film by the fact that he's suicidal, and has completely given up after the death of his son.
I'm curious what the alcohol % is in those. Beers and Breakdowns nearly turned into "Tipsy Green Beret Reacts to Action Movies" lol.. maybe a higher % stout or porter would make that final push. Anyway, great video, awesome movie. Another good start for a fun series...... and I totally wish I had my own in-home theater.
Ikr its ipa so probably a lot lol
same! Abel's house is on another level
porters and stouts are traditionally low ABV beers. i had a mate who was a die hard guiness drinker. touted it as the gateway to manhood. DBL IPAs won the day. I guess depending on whos watching lol
Brilliant. Thanks for the upload. ❤️
episode 2 coming tomorrow
So excited for this series!
Thank you!
Clint Emerson could get out if those zip ties but then again Jason Bourne movies is his autobiography lol .
Love this Series bro ..
Clint is a cool dude! and thank you!
You guy's have to remember that Chris's character was a bit suicidal due to losing his loved ones
Extraction 2 is awesome, can't wait to see your review on it
This format is great!
Could you guys pleaseee do the movie about 4th ID “The Outpost”??!! I’m active duty army and i find that it’s the most realistic movie I’ve seen when it comes to the way they shoot, move and communicate.
sure!
@14:17 it depends on the caliber and the material of the helmet. Some calibers are almost impossible to be stopped. Also the amount of pain you get after getting hit by a bullet and it bounced off or just didnt go through is unimaginable... Never got hit by a bullet obviously but I'd imagine it like being hit by a baseball bat.
Ive always thought helmets were more for protecting your head against falling debris from explosions that sort of thing, I'm pretty sure a 7.62 would go through most modern helmets.
@@1972brigger Thats kinda right. But newer helmets are also made to change the bullet direction, so it can avoid direct hit to the head.
3x Magnifier* Also, I'm sure it's been said...but that dude had an HK UMP 45 in that scene. He has an MP5 at the end on the bridge...
Thanks guys this was a lot of fun to watch
you bet
10:35 the guy chasing him is using a UMP .45. Not an Mp5, and not 9mm.
my bad
In your defense: You had a few drinks in already, and later in the film, during the climax of the bridge shootout, that guy does use an MP5SD6 in 9mm before dying. Hes got the rare 4-position trigger pack. I guess he ditched his suppressed UMP .45 somewhere earlier.
the most impressive things about this movie were the stunt/fighting choreography (however unrealistic you'd argue those situations would be) and the long takes. the scene preceding 11:00 was one continuous take, I think it was something like a 5 or 7min chase scene that was all one take.
It was not one take, but it looked like it thanks to very clever editing. There are multiple videos online showing how that sequence was done, and it's still very fun to watch.
Loved this video. Y’all keep em videos coming…
We will! thank you!
Great video.. very well done !!
Lets vote for a break down of “Lone Survivor” 💯👍🏾
Have you listened to the joe Rogan and Marcus luttrell podcast video? If not, if you got an hour and a half to kill, it’s an incredible podcast. They talk about that movie.
Get into an all out fight with one opponents for 3 straight minutes and see how much energy you have at the end. Exhaustion will beat you no matter your conditioning with multiple opponents, hence why operators use weapons to equalize numbers. If you ever in a hand to hand combat situation something has gone very wrong….
The whole movie is about shit going wrong and Tyler overcoming it to save the kid.
@@murphymcpoyle1735 the whole movie is Hollywood bullshit.
extraction , super underrated as a good thrill ride. cant wait for the second one!
yessirrrr 🤩 this series is already dope
thank you!
Speaking of no magazine on the weapon, the movie "The Hunt", bad guy and good girl struggle for the gun and the badguy takes out the magazine, the good girl checks the chamber with a single round and shoots him....
Yall need to do one of these every week
Fuck yeah Guys. First video Ive watched from you, and not the last. Keep this cool shit up. Wish you the best!🍻
Never thought Buck would be this funny lol 😂 really good video, hope to see more of this in the future!
definitely will continue!
@@FNGACADEMY I'll even join you and drink my beers too
Buck you are right there in that space where you feel good and you're still going to feel fine in the morning. Lol. We love y'all
thanks homie! and you are 100 percent correct!
i dig this format dudes!
We need more of this. 100000%
Hell yea keep doing these
