Was watching the other night and a woman was able to stop a man from breathing by wrapping her legs around his torso. I think not, how about you?

Perhaps if it was a small man and Famke Janssen did it. I'd volunteer for a practical test.

Well. Pushing the torso would constrict the movement of the lungs... Question is how strong would your legs have to be to able to cause enough constriction?

Remember.. Boas and other similar snakes kill by constricting, but then mostly by constricting higher up.. At the chestarea..

Speaking of Goldeneye:

I know they had tackled this part of the film before, but I wasn't satisfied with what they had done.

They proved a pen-sized bomb is NOT capable of blasting a dummy in half.

I say it is.

They should redo this myth, because the first time, the 'dummy' they used was fully blasted, but one segment of it was still attached to the top, so they didn't count it as confirmed.

They should make another mannequin, of the same material and density of what was shown in the film.

Using the same type of "pen", also.

By the way, this is my first post on this message board.

Thank you; have a good day.

When they ramped it up, they used a giant pen, therefore, a pen sized explosive can destroy half a dummy. What they busted is a normal sized pen cannot destroy half a dummy. And they did use a similar material to that in the film and a similar pen. It is busted.
