  • Tory, Bisi, and Faye test an explosive classic mafia movie myth! The team buys a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz to test if there is a plate under the driver's compartment that could withstand a car bomb, similar to the claim made in the movie 'Casino.'

    Myth about El Dorado....graphic shows a Coupe DeVille....are they even really trying?

      In the demonstration graphic it's a coupe deville but the one they blow up is for sure an eldorado. Dead give away is the stainless steel top and the slight bustle back trunk

    Better episodes than last time. It was at least entertaining. Still a problem with it though that they call it MythBuster but don’t do the science that MythBusters did. They should have done research on where the best place to put the steel plate, if maybe putting it at a slight angle to change the trajectory, maybe a couple of different sizes of explosives, so many variables that need worked out before they go test. And if they do that on any of the myths they haven’t shown it even in passing. But again at least this one was entertaining

      Just what I had read, the floor didn’t have the steel plate, but it was in the seat. Also, in the movie (yes I know it wasn’t a documentary) but the bomb fizzled long enough for him to get out before the bomb blew.

    We don't get to see the conclusion on this tease video but shouldn't the plate have been under the car which would have deflected the blast before it struck the car body
    Also the blast looks much stronger than in the movie

    • @BillRizer193
      @BillRizer193 Před 2 lety +2

      Also with them testing it over a different terrain would result with a different blast radius based on where the forced is projected and absorbed

    this whole show is garbage.
    each episode is one myth stretched out waaaay too far.
    bisi is just terrible at hosting/english.
    tory looks like he just cant be arsed and just woke up hungover half of the time.
    faye is just there so it isnt a total sausage fest, despite being the most compitent mechanic between the three.
