Eight Great Mythbusted Movie and TV Myths
Mythbusters is always a good time, but I think my favorite episodes are when they take on movie and TV myths. I’ve looked around for the best ones I could find, and I’ve come up with these eight, which range from shark attacks to MacGyver machines. Enjoy.
1) Shooting a hole in the floor
As seen in: Underworld
I mean you can, if you’ve got about half an hour to spare.
2) Driving a ramp into a truck
As seen in: Knight Rider
Would you believe this actually works? But don’t go getting any ideas on how to avoid tolls…
3) Falling through awnings
As seen in: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
You may have a few broken limbs (not so good during a getaway), but you could live through it.
4) Shooting a propane tank
As seen in: Casino Royale
I love how when they get frustrated they just blow the whole project up.
5) Shark ramming boat
As seen in: Jaws
You know, assuming prehistoric size sharks even existed.
6) Car ejector seat
As seen in: Austin Powers in Goldmember
I’m sure a few guys will start looking into this for their girlfriends.
7) Stopping a sword
As seen in: Eight million martial arts movies
Unless you’re Tony Jaa himself, probably leave this one alone.
8 ) Bamboo airplane
As seen in: MacGyver
Who could have possibly imagined the outcome of this?
And finally, as an added bonus for those of you who stayed to the end, Mythbusters‘ Kari Byron everyone:

Great list! One of my favorite movie myth moments was when they proved that you couldn’t explode an air tank like the ending of Jaws. I’m still devasted from finding out that one wasn’t true.

Yeah, I am always disappointed when the myths are debunked, and happy when they’re proven true.
