Honestly, there was no way in hell that they were going to get away with it without going to prison. Also, them being able to kill 24 people without getting in a confrontation with the entire police force is a huge stretch. Gunfire is incredibly loud and several gunshots at a time accompanied with blood will 100% cause someone to call 911. The ranger’s death going unnoticed is not going to happen, and she should have called for backup as soon as she saw blood after hearing a shot.
You are clearly dealing with something supernatural/beyond human comprehension that has clearly left evidence (your friends heads have exploded despite their being no cause). Hell if they act like real people and film a single one of there friends heads rapidly expanding and exploding im pretty sure you could claim that you were being forced too...
Yes this movies premises is entirely stupid. That kill counter is insanely high and unrealistic and they only get 5 minutes of leeway? So basically the only way you could win this is to start a mass murder. Even given that, you probably won't survive from police or other peoe, at best you will be apprehended or found out later. The vast majority of the populace would not participate in the game. If I was in this exact situation, I would just die. Anything else isn't worth it
@@thisismywill "24 without getting caught in the process is feasible" if you mean feasible as in like winning a lottery. It's not like they get days or weeks to prepare, it's all spontaneous so therefore sloppy. Even if calculated to extreme measures, it's still very unlikely.
@Nathan Yea, because you can just mass murder 24 people in under 2 hours without anyone noticing lol. Ironic calling someone Ill-informed after making such a claim. FYI Ted Bundy was a serial killer. He didn't do all his killings in the span of 2 hours such as Mass Murderer would have to. Ted Bundy was methodical ergo more discrete/inconspicuous.

I think the question at the end perfectly illustrates "bad" horror movies. Its like when writing they knew betrayals, intimacy, and unexpected deaths make a good horror movie, and then never learned how to properly implement them. Beth didn't really seem to do anything rationally, or even understandably irrationally, it just seemed like in every situation she did whatever they needed her to do to get the twist, regardless of if the last however minutes we watched are going to make sense when she does it.

But since they're two intelligent strategists working together, Cinema wouldn't even want to sacrifice Nerd, he's basically the perfect partner.
Honestly Tom becoming a fucking psychopath because of the game is actually a cool arc. The actor sells it. He seems very disconnected from what he’s doing. “I’m playing the game” not bad, movie.
I kinda feel for Tom & Beth here, they acted fast and managed to fulfil the conditions for all players' survival--in arguably the least bad way at that, targeting an extended care facility with most victims being at the end of their lives already--only for Ashley to punish them for it before killing Tyler and not even having the decency to commit suicide, instead accepting her victory
Yeah that ending really seems like something that would happen in Reno 911. Also the sudden animations during that last montage were really interesting and visually appealing IMO, definitely not what I expected out of a movie named “Game of Death”. The filming suddenly switching to first person for a moment or something similar to what you’d see in an Evil Dead movie is intriguing. I can’t say this is a movie I’d watch myself, but I think I need to look into it a little more to see who was involved.
I don't want to die but honestly killing 24 people to save my ass is a dick move. I would just say 'I love you' to my family and peace out on my own terms. On the bright side at least I get to find out if this is all a simulation or not
Yeah, same. If you had more time, maybe you could try to only target terrible people, although the ethics of that are still pretty questionable. But with the 5 minute time limit, you don't really have options. Plus, what if you couldn't find enough people and ran out of time at like 20 murders? You're still dead, and you are also responsible for the needless deaths of sooo many other innocent people.
Honestly after all this even with duress or trying to plead insanity because a spooky board game forced you. Your life is ruined either way you spend a large majority of your life in prison and what the hell are you gonna do when you get out? Group suicide is honestly the best option when you figure out the game is serious
Exactly...And even if you successfully do it then what? Life in prison? Extreme emotional trauma? A constant feeling of dread and guilt? Literally the whole game is pointless. If it was 1 murders per player it could have been more interesting. Would you kill another person to save your own life type of situation.
Got this board game for family game night last summer. Stupid thing gave all of us hepatitis and killed half my family. Well, the manual did promise some good immersion, so I'll allow it. 2/10
Both him and Cinema Summary tend to go for some fairly obscure B-films, most of which tend to be fairly poor movies. That being said, they both still do cover some more mainstream, good ones as well.
The worst thing about using a car to kill someone is the fact that, at the speed required to actually finish the deed, you will qreck your car entirely, making walking your only alternative. It would be much more efficient to use the car to commit a couple if drive bys with the gun gta san andreas style. After 2 or 3 kills, search for another car rinse and repeat. After you finish, keep moving towards the nearest border , switching cars every couple hundred miles. Your best bet is to leave your country. If you can leave a victim in the origional drive by vehicle with a couple of bullets in it and place it behind the wheel, and then place a second victim behind the car with entrails leaving to it, leaving the gun with the second body, you could fool the police into thinking you were killed by being run over. Then flee to mexico or canada and work on creating a new identity.
But won't police do finger print stuff to check if the dead body was actually you? Plus you leave behind your gun and several cars that would have your prints on their doors and steering wheels
Sir, the degree to which you masterfully thought this out with (seemingly) no hesitation is both scary and respectable. You'd make an excellent vigilante. 10/10
It's honestly kind of ironic how basically everyone Ashley saved from being killed, she ended up killing herself. She stopped Tom from killing the ranger only to kill the ranger to save Tyler, who she then later killed to the end the game. Hell, had Tyler ran and barricaded himself while waiting out the clock Ashley might've been forced to kill Samantha herself, who she had saved from Beth. Granted I don't really think the run and barricade himself somewhere option really would've worked for Tyler, as far as I'm aware we have no confirmation that who will die due to running out of time will change without that person being dead. It's entirely possible that had they just run out the clock instead Tyler's head would've exploded anyways, only way running would work is if the target of the player execution changes each death (or it changes when the execution starts, regardless of if the execution is goes through or is interrupted by killing someone else), in which case it's a flip of the coin on who dies. Honestly if I was Tyler I would've just gone for the gun no matter what, sure running is a potential 50/50 chance of survival, but I'd rather not leave my fate up to a coin flip, especially since Ashley probably isn't trained to use a shotgun and through her killing Beth I'd know that shotgun is loaded with slugs. It's entirely possible that even if she gets a shot off while I go for the gun she wont have the accuracy for it to be fatal for certain, and in the time it'd take her to her to ready another round I'd likely have been able to get and fire the pistol, and since it's a pistol I can just unload the rest of the clip to account for low accuracy from not being firearm trained, having been potentially shot, and being in a disadvantageous position. Granted this all requires the gun to still be loaded after Beth's killing spree as Beth likely wasn't checking how much ammo she had left so it's entirely possible she was out when going to kill Samantha, in which case... fuck, police would enter and either detain Ashley or kill her if she tried to aim at them which probably wont count for the game as a player didn't make the kill, in the former case it's back to 50/50 and in the latter case I die. With the police basically right outside the room as well if Ashley gets off a non-fatal shot first they'd hear that the shotgun fired first and would know me killing her is in self defense, I'd probably be able to get out of any charges (or at least with a reduced sentence) as well since Tyler's only other kill would be running over the jogger which can easily be argued that it was forced to under duress (assuming the supernatural death game didn't already accomplish that, which probably wouldn't as it's kinda obvious no one believed it if Ashley used it as part of her defense considering it ended up being handed out at corrupt police Christmas) as Tom and Beth literally went on a killing spree and the pistol was Tom's originally (all of which easy to prove with the gun being registered to Tom, and fingerprints and/or security footage showing that the gun was mainly in Tom or Beth's possession). Hell if the ranger had a dash cam or something that would make it easier as that would put clear evidence on Tom having the gun at the time of the jogger's death, and would prove that I was completely uninvolved with the ranger's death as I was clearly incapacitated at the time with the game's player execution in progress. Granted still Second Degree Intentional Homicide unfortunately so not much of a reduced sentence, but hey at least it's only a single count of Second Degree Intentional Homicide rather than several counts of it like the others would get at minimum (yeah, even if Beth and Tom could argue they did their kill spree under duress, it'd still be several counts of Second Degree Intentional Homicide, so they'd get much longer than the minimum 60 years for a single count of it).
@@Animefan_7153-0 Basically the tl;dr of the second paragraph is that if I was Tyler I would've just gone for the pistol no matter what, Ashley isn't trained so likely wouldn't hit a fatal shot on a moving target and I'd probably reach the pistol before she can shoot again. Then killing her would clearly be self defense and the jogger was under duress, so only a single count of Second Degree Intentional Homicide (the best deal any of them could've gotten). While only known in hindsight, if Tyler ran instead Ashley would still be holding the shotgun when the police arrived and might've reflexively aimed at them and as they entered guns raised they would've likely killed Ashley before she could shoot, and that might not count as the final kill as it was done by the a third party, not a player or the game's player execution. Yes I recognize that for a tl;dr that was still fairly long.
I think Ashley knew what she was doing the entire time. It was shown in the start she was cheating on her boyfriend with someone else. It means she is fully capable of decivivng others long as it benefits her. I think when she killed the park ranger it was to keep Tyler on her side so she could take out Beth and Tom.
He was an insurance policy to keep around in case she got a headache, just like Tom was likely doing with all the other people in the car at the beginning. I think she had every intention of letting Tom and Beth finish the game for her while she sits around and can claim innocence later.
@@oblivionsa7973 Yeah, and she killed the sheriff too because she couldn't risk being detained in case Tom and Beth didn't keep up the kill count. I(n fact, she knew they weren't keeping up the count when Tyler's head started bulging. For all she knew, she had barely more than 5 minutes to live if she didn't get away and continue the killing.
Good thing me and my friends have an agreement to end ourselves in these kind of situations instead of killing other people for our dumb decisions. Seriously if we're dumb enough to touch something cursed with all our horror knowledge we deserve it.
@cameron phares one of my friends got bitten by a unknown spider and refused to go to the hospital cause he couldn't be bothered, my friend group doesn't really value our lives as much as we should and that's just one example.
The moment I heard the first 20 seconds (or so) of this clip, my immediate reaction is, "Why don't you kill 24 insects?" Also, that board was on top of the... original NES! That thing is awesome! My attention would be on that instead. Also, they're a group of hot (?) men and women. Why aren't they killing time by the ancient art called "copulation"?
@@michaelsong5555 it's a webtoon(a comic on an app called webtoon) where certain stuff happens and in the beginning everyone in the area where mc is has to kill at least one thing and if they choose not to they die, we'll one of the kids on the train cart(not the whole train, different sections of the train had to do it as well and it happened worldwide)had a box of bugs and mc killed one of them and then threw them throughout the place cause there wasn't enough for everyone, you should give it a read

@@michaelsong5555 if it wasn't any good I wouldn't have read it and even search up the light novel for it, an accurate description of it would take too long so you can just look at the summary of it, the mc although the main character of it, isn't the main character, he was the only one who read a 3,000 page(I think it was page)story called 3 ways to survive the apocalypse, and the mc of that is actually a real person, because everything in the book starts to come true, and the mc knows everything that's going to happen and has to try to work with the other mc, that's a general gist of it but it's pretty complex to explain in full detail
I've been watching since the train to busan episode and eagerly wait for each new episode to come out, since this channel got me hooked on "how to survive" videos. Actually taught me a good amount about how to survive some situations. Great work dude!
Every time I play a game, I just start humming this song and I’m just immediately thinking “If this is a death game and I might die, what would Nerd Explains do?” I think I watch too much of this channel. Also can you do the Conjuring next?
I love how you used so much footage from other movies to illustrate ur points, that shows hard work to your videos cuz it takes a long time to edit that footage in
19:18 Yes, but rather shift up and down as much as possible, because it is easier to do without slowing down, while it is a lot harder to adjust a gun up and down and still shoot accurately (because of kickback and the general person’s tendency to flinch) while adjusting side to side is the difference in a breathe
2 years now asking for the CUBE sequels! he already started with the first one in the trio, so I know he can do it, and I know he's been seeing these comments every video! :)
Those sequels were TERRIBLE though. Especially part ZERO. And HYPERCUBE ignores the laws of time so that’s a next to impossible movie to do this kind of video on. I think that is why we don’t see him cover any sci-fi involving time travel. Too many variables.
You're right about running in a zig zag pattern being a bad idea that slows you down. But. Sudden movements to the sides are important for survival, not just 'not running in a straight line'.
I feel like if Tyler was able to kill Ashley he could have just gotten away entirely since she was obviously trying to kill him and his injuries could prove that. With the way Ashley just gave up and dropped to the ground it's almost like telling the troopers that you are guilty since you are being calm and collected, if Tyler was able to kill Ashley and then acted panicked and tried to seek comfort in the trooper arms while yelling "they were trying to kill me" I feel that would give an insanely obvious duress sign, on the other hand Ashley could have done the same if she would have killed him before the troopers arrived, and I'm not saying this would entirely be the case but since she is a girl she would most likely receive special treatment, but instead she just dropped to the ground in one of the most obvious shows of guilt a criminal could do.
I saw this movie so long ago I think on the Syfy or chiller channel. But I can never remember the name! Always fun to see movies like this appear on your account
Problematic take: statistically speaking it takes a lot longer for people to discover if street sex workers or people experiencing homelessness to be investigated if killed (most serial killers go for these first) so if the gang had any time they should try to solicit sex workers and murder them to not get caught. Cops are notorious for not really investigating the deaths of sex workers or homeless people as they are seen as a lower priority than other people, and often they lack support networks that would come looking for them/put any pressure on the policr to investigate
The problem was the lack of time, but you're absolutely right. I suspect most intelligent people could get away with killing a person no one cares about
A lot of handguns nowadays come with a spent casing in the box from the manufacturer. They get the ballistics and keep that spent bullet to keep it on file for murder cases comparisons
So cool seeing someone excell at making something they love into a career. Very inspiring i hope to do so myself. Love all your vids dude keep it up, keep making the most of this small life the universe gives us ✊
There’s nothing in the game rules that says you have to die permanently. Maybe if they got some drugs like heroin and some narcan or a defibrillator they could overdose or come close to death, then be revived. Maybe that would count towards a death? 🧐
Even if they did that it was like 5 of them and they had 5 minutes to kill someone besides where would they even get the drugs from, in the background it only looked like that had liquor, and how would they even revive themselves there are a lot of factors to consider.
Useless plus who would inject the narcan if they were all overdosed in heroin chances are the person who is still alive would get there head obliterated
Thinking a killer knocked on your door after shooting your friend really isn't a dumb thought it could be a distraction or a sick twisted killer toying their victims,that really happens
Its very dangerous to play these kind of games with smart people. Sure They will keep you around if you're useful but the moment you become a burden you're dead meat.
“This game murdered my grandma, 2/10” I would be so pissed to be the grandma since my grandchildren didn’t even give it a 1/10 even though it killed me
I've heard people advise against giving a review with the lowest possible score, as so many people assume those to be the work of either trolls or entitled jerks.
I think the fact that you didn't mention "Through no fault of the defendant" when talking about duress is an oversight. They chose to play the game thus by extension making the situation their fault yes?
Suggestion: a How to Beat the Infected in "Crossed". I know it's not a movie (and it'll probably never be), but it'd be cool to see how you'd face an apocalypse where the zombies can use guns and plan ambushes
I think Ashley could fight the charges. The first kill she did was under duress. Then she figured Tom and Beth were going on a killing spree. Beth she shot in defense then Tom tried attacking them for Beth’s death. Tyler took out Tom in self defense and she can say tyler then turned to attack her and the last shot was self defense. The child could be a witness about Beth’s death and could make the story possible. Hopefully the hospital didn’t have cameras.
As much as the host of this channel makes it brutally clear that he’ll kill others without hesitation only if iit comes to no other option to live (which I understand) , him not suggesting - or even considering other options first BEFORE coming to a bust - that Ashley should kill anyone else in a building full of people she’s in, made me question the host’s mental.
I mean at the end of the day yes they killed people they had to and yes they’d definitely get into serious trouble with the police, but if they showed them the game and had them play it then. I know he said it but I wanted to really see it happening lol movies don’t ever get cool with it. I just didn’t want EVERYONE but the final girl to die
The same rules would apply for committing crimes under duress I suppose. Don't know enough about US law to say if duress excuses murder, but I'm sure there's plenty of jurisprudence on that. It's no different from "I had to kill them, or they were going to kill my family"
@@Grintock It would likely have to be a lot more than a threat in real life. Someone would like have to shoot your spouse then turn the gun on your kids, or start cutting off fingers or something. If you were videoed doing the killing, even under crazy duress, you'd still be found guilty. Video evidence has always swayed juries to vote guilty. Look at the Patty Hearst case. Kidnapped, raped, threatened with death, her personality reshaped by her captors, and she still went to prison for armed robbery. Why? The video evidence swayed the jury more than her emotional testimony.
They could of let them kill the people at the center and they only would of had to kill the sheriff to keep Tyler alive and go on the run. The sheriff never called in their descriptions so they would of had enough time to get away before the other two were caught or killed by the police and the game would of been over only thing is they would need to completely ditch their old identities since the identification of the other friends bodies would make them going missing seem suspicious
Nerd Explains: Tom shares the love and get hes SISTER to shoot her 10 mins later Me: wait a second at 24:17 Nerd explains: the two share a KISS Me: wait did tom kiss his SISTER!?!!?!??!
@21:49 Yeah, maybe "the ranger put herself at risk" by forcing a confrontation without backup, but like, someone's head just exploded. Raising your shotgun would be the only logical choice if she thinks there is ALREADY a confrontation she walked into the middle of.

Jumanji ... nobody dies. I'm down 🙃
gotta acquire that plot armor first
There’s just too many possible obstacles thatll go against any fears you might have. I’ll pass on that. Even with three tries.
I kinda feel for Tom & Beth here, they acted fast and managed to fulfil the conditions for all players' survival--in arguably the least bad way at that, targeting an extended care facility with most victims being at the end of their lives already--only for Ashley to punish them for it before killing Tyler and not even having the decency to commit suicide, instead accepting her victory
Yeah that ending really seems like something that would happen in Reno 911.
Also the sudden animations during that last montage were really interesting and visually appealing IMO, definitely not what I expected out of a movie named “Game of Death”. The filming suddenly switching to first person for a moment or something similar to what you’d see in an Evil Dead movie is intriguing. I can’t say this is a movie I’d watch myself, but I think I need to look into it a little more to see who was involved.

I don't want to die but honestly killing 24 people to save my ass is a dick move. I would just say 'I love you' to my family and peace out on my own terms. On the bright side at least I get to find out if this is all a simulation or not
Yeah, same. If you had more time, maybe you could try to only target terrible people, although the ethics of that are still pretty questionable. But with the 5 minute time limit, you don't really have options. Plus, what if you couldn't find enough people and ran out of time at like 20 murders? You're still dead, and you are also responsible for the needless deaths of sooo many other innocent people.
Honestly after all this even with duress or trying to plead insanity because a spooky board game forced you. Your life is ruined either way you spend a large majority of your life in prison and what the hell are you gonna do when you get out? Group suicide is honestly the best option when you figure out the game is serious
Exactly...And even if you successfully do it then what? Life in prison? Extreme emotional trauma? A constant feeling of dread and guilt? Literally the whole game is pointless. If it was 1 murders per player it could have been more interesting. Would you kill another person to save your own life type of situation.
Yeah, I'm suuure that under such huge stress when your own life is in danger you'd have the moral high ground XD
I would go for 30 kd already gonna die from death sentence anyway
I love the honesty at the start where you said you would be more curious the less you found out about it.
ngl the animated sequence of Tom and Beth's killing spree was really well done
He literally just explained to us how to get away with murder
nice advice

The worst thing about using a car to kill someone is the fact that, at the speed required to actually finish the deed, you will qreck your car entirely, making walking your only alternative. It would be much more efficient to use the car to commit a couple if drive bys with the gun gta san andreas style. After 2 or 3 kills, search for another car rinse and repeat. After you finish, keep moving towards the nearest border , switching cars every couple hundred miles. Your best bet is to leave your country. If you can leave a victim in the origional drive by vehicle with a couple of bullets in it and place it behind the wheel, and then place a second victim behind the car with entrails leaving to it, leaving the gun with the second body, you could fool the police into thinking you were killed by being run over. Then flee to mexico or canada and work on creating a new identity.

Out of all the videos I've seen in this series, I think this is the most "unbeatable" game.
Sir, the degree to which you masterfully thought this out with (seemingly) no hesitation is both scary and respectable. You'd make an excellent vigilante. 10/10
It's honestly kind of ironic how basically everyone Ashley saved from being killed, she ended up killing herself. She stopped Tom from killing the ranger only to kill the ranger to save Tyler, who she then later killed to the end the game. Hell, had Tyler ran and barricaded himself while waiting out the clock Ashley might've been forced to kill Samantha herself, who she had saved from Beth. Granted I don't really think the run and barricade himself somewhere option really would've worked for Tyler, as far as I'm aware we have no confirmation that who will die due to running out of time will change without that person being dead. It's entirely possible that had they just run out the clock instead Tyler's head would've exploded anyways, only way running would work is if the target of the player execution changes each death (or it changes when the execution starts, regardless of if the execution is goes through or is interrupted by killing someone else), in which case it's a flip of the coin on who dies.
Honestly if I was Tyler I would've just gone for the gun no matter what, sure running is a potential 50/50 chance of survival, but I'd rather not leave my fate up to a coin flip, especially since Ashley probably isn't trained to use a shotgun and through her killing Beth I'd know that shotgun is loaded with slugs. It's entirely possible that even if she gets a shot off while I go for the gun she wont have the accuracy for it to be fatal for certain, and in the time it'd take her to her to ready another round I'd likely have been able to get and fire the pistol, and since it's a pistol I can just unload the rest of the clip to account for low accuracy from not being firearm trained, having been potentially shot, and being in a disadvantageous position. Granted this all requires the gun to still be loaded after Beth's killing spree as Beth likely wasn't checking how much ammo she had left so it's entirely possible she was out when going to kill Samantha, in which case... fuck, police would enter and either detain Ashley or kill her if she tried to aim at them which probably wont count for the game as a player didn't make the kill, in the former case it's back to 50/50 and in the latter case I die. With the police basically right outside the room as well if Ashley gets off a non-fatal shot first they'd hear that the shotgun fired first and would know me killing her is in self defense, I'd probably be able to get out of any charges (or at least with a reduced sentence) as well since Tyler's only other kill would be running over the jogger which can easily be argued that it was forced to under duress (assuming the supernatural death game didn't already accomplish that, which probably wouldn't as it's kinda obvious no one believed it if Ashley used it as part of her defense considering it ended up being handed out at corrupt police Christmas) as Tom and Beth literally went on a killing spree and the pistol was Tom's originally (all of which easy to prove with the gun being registered to Tom, and fingerprints and/or security footage showing that the gun was mainly in Tom or Beth's possession). Hell if the ranger had a dash cam or something that would make it easier as that would put clear evidence on Tom having the gun at the time of the jogger's death, and would prove that I was completely uninvolved with the ranger's death as I was clearly incapacitated at the time with the game's player execution in progress. Granted still Second Degree Intentional Homicide unfortunately so not much of a reduced sentence, but hey at least it's only a single count of Second Degree Intentional Homicide rather than several counts of it like the others would get at minimum (yeah, even if Beth and Tom could argue they did their kill spree under duress, it'd still be several counts of Second Degree Intentional Homicide, so they'd get much longer than the minimum 60 years for a single count of it).

Was this all in one take? How u do tha
You had me till the 2nd part im not gonna read all that
@@wynn4453 Science major and a minor creative writing hobby, I am used to writing a lot and can pretty easily just start writing and not stop.
@@Animefan_7153-0 Basically the tl;dr of the second paragraph is that if I was Tyler I would've just gone for the pistol no matter what, Ashley isn't trained so likely wouldn't hit a fatal shot on a moving target and I'd probably reach the pistol before she can shoot again. Then killing her would clearly be self defense and the jogger was under duress, so only a single count of Second Degree Intentional Homicide (the best deal any of them could've gotten). While only known in hindsight, if Tyler ran instead Ashley would still be holding the shotgun when the police arrived and might've reflexively aimed at them and as they entered guns raised they would've likely killed Ashley before she could shoot, and that might not count as the final kill as it was done by the a third party, not a player or the game's player execution.
Yes I recognize that for a tl;dr that was still fairly long.
I love the amount of practical head explosions in this movie. Genuinely kick ass.

Holy shit I found you in the wild
@@Peculiar_Poltergeist *hisses*
I think Ashley knew what she was doing the entire time. It was shown in the start she was cheating on her boyfriend with someone else. It means she is fully capable of decivivng others long as it benefits her. I think when she killed the park ranger it was to keep Tyler on her side so she could take out Beth and Tom.
He was an insurance policy to keep around in case she got a headache, just like Tom was likely doing with all the other people in the car at the beginning. I think she had every intention of letting Tom and Beth finish the game for her while she sits around and can claim innocence later.
@@oblivionsa7973 Yeah, and she killed the sheriff too because she couldn't risk being detained in case Tom and Beth didn't keep up the kill count. I(n fact, she knew they weren't keeping up the count when Tyler's head started bulging. For all she knew, she had barely more than 5 minutes to live if she didn't get away and continue the killing.
Good thing me and my friends have an agreement to end ourselves in these kind of situations instead of killing other people for our dumb decisions. Seriously if we're dumb enough to touch something cursed with all our horror knowledge we deserve it.

@@michaelsong5555 if it wasn't any good I wouldn't have read it and even search up the light novel for it, an accurate description of it would take too long so you can just look at the summary of it, the mc although the main character of it, isn't the main character, he was the only one who read a 3,000 page(I think it was page)story called 3 ways to survive the apocalypse, and the mc of that is actually a real person, because everything in the book starts to come true, and the mc knows everything that's going to happen and has to try to work with the other mc, that's a general gist of it but it's pretty complex to explain in full detail

Yes, but rather shift up and down as much as possible, because it is easier to do without slowing down, while it is a lot harder to adjust a gun up and down and still shoot accurately (because of kickback and the general person’s tendency to flinch) while adjusting side to side is the difference in a breathe

Those sequels were TERRIBLE though. Especially part ZERO. And HYPERCUBE ignores the laws of time so that’s a next to impossible movie to do this kind of video on. I think that is why we don’t see him cover any sci-fi involving time travel. Too many variables.

"The board game was found on a pile of random crap." Under the board game sits an NES. Ouch, right in the feels.
“That’s what 911 is for, so you can risk other people’s lives.” 😂
You're right about running in a zig zag pattern being a bad idea that slows you down. But. Sudden movements to the sides are important for survival, not just 'not running in a straight line'.
I feel like if Tyler was able to kill Ashley he could have just gotten away entirely since she was obviously trying to kill him and his injuries could prove that. With the way Ashley just gave up and dropped to the ground it's almost like telling the troopers that you are guilty since you are being calm and collected, if Tyler was able to kill Ashley and then acted panicked and tried to seek comfort in the trooper arms while yelling "they were trying to kill me" I feel that would give an insanely obvious duress sign, on the other hand Ashley could have done the same if she would have killed him before the troopers arrived, and I'm not saying this would entirely be the case but since she is a girl she would most likely receive special treatment, but instead she just dropped to the ground in one of the most obvious shows of guilt a criminal could do.
I saw this movie so long ago I think on the Syfy or chiller channel. But I can never remember the name! Always fun to see movies like this appear on your account
Problematic take: statistically speaking it takes a lot longer for people to discover if street sex workers or people experiencing homelessness to be investigated if killed (most serial killers go for these first) so if the gang had any time they should try to solicit sex workers and murder them to not get caught. Cops are notorious for not really investigating the deaths of sex workers or homeless people as they are seen as a lower priority than other people, and often they lack support networks that would come looking for them/put any pressure on the policr to investigate
The problem was the lack of time, but you're absolutely right. I suspect most intelligent people could get away with killing a person no one cares about
@@thisismywill especially since the maximum amount of time they could have is 2 hours for all of the kills

Nerd explains is one of the best TH-camrs I know
There’s nothing in the game rules that says you have to die permanently. Maybe if they got some drugs like heroin and some narcan or a defibrillator they could overdose or come close to death, then be revived. Maybe that would count towards a death? 🧐
Even if they did that it was like 5 of them and they had 5 minutes to kill someone besides where would they even get the drugs from, in the background it only looked like that had liquor, and how would they even revive themselves there are a lot of factors to consider.
Useless plus who would inject the narcan if they were all overdosed in heroin chances are the person who is still alive would get there head obliterated

I think Ashley could fight the charges. The first kill she did was under duress. Then she figured Tom and Beth were going on a killing spree. Beth she shot in defense then Tom tried attacking them for Beth’s death. Tyler took out Tom in self defense and she can say tyler then turned to attack her and the last shot was self defense. The child could be a witness about Beth’s death and could make the story possible. Hopefully the hospital didn’t have cameras.

The same rules would apply for committing crimes under duress I suppose. Don't know enough about US law to say if duress excuses murder, but I'm sure there's plenty of jurisprudence on that. It's no different from "I had to kill them, or they were going to kill my family"
I personally would have killed myself.
@@Grintock It would likely have to be a lot more than a threat in real life. Someone would like have to shoot your spouse then turn the gun on your kids, or start cutting off fingers or something. If you were videoed doing the killing, even under crazy duress, you'd still be found guilty. Video evidence has always swayed juries to vote guilty. Look at the Patty Hearst case. Kidnapped, raped, threatened with death, her personality reshaped by her captors, and she still went to prison for armed robbery. Why? The video evidence swayed the jury more than her emotional testimony.
They could of let them kill the people at the center and they only would of had to kill the sheriff to keep Tyler alive and go on the run. The sheriff never called in their descriptions so they would of had enough time to get away before the other two were caught or killed by the police and the game would of been over only thing is they would need to completely ditch their old identities since the identification of the other friends bodies would make them going missing seem suspicious
