How to Get Out of the Worst Traps in Movie History - NSFW

[Narrator] Director Jeremy Saulnier's third feature,

Green Room, pits a punk band trapped in a bar

against militarized skinheads.

It's a clever spin on the entrapment thriller

where the heroes must escape and survive

the deadly situation, so we thought we'd ask the director,

as well as star, Anton Yelchin, how they would manage

to escape from other famous films in the genre.

The trash compactor from Star Wars.

How would I get out of that? Yeah, how'd you get out?

I think I would just die.

That's the thing about these movies,

it's like there's something that saves you.

Well, the Force, yeah, Star Wars.

That's pretty convenient, man.

It's Star Wars!

It's all pretty convenient.

[Narrator] The panic room from Panic Room.

So a panic room, I think you just hold your ground

and roll the dice.

Hope that someone's gonna turn soft.

I'd have a not panic room.

A room where I'm just not panicking.

[Narrator] Air Force One in Air Force One.

One of our close family friends is in that movie

playing one of the Russian bad guys.

By god, I'd grip them by the balls and I'd throw them

all off that plane, just like Harrison Ford does.

[Narrator] Phone booth from Phone Booth.

That's an easy one.

What would you do?

I would run away in a serpentine pattern.

No, you're trapped in the phone booth though.

Only because there's a sniper.

Oh, in a serpentine pattern

meaning the sniper couldn't follow--

That's what you're taught to do.

No, but the sniper's gonna snipe someone else, right?

Well, fuck them.

Well, agreed.

[Narrator] The elevator from Devil.

I would have a great time.

I mean, look, if I'm trapped in an elevator with the Devil--

I'd make a deal right away.

No better time to sell your soul than that,

you know what I mean?

Might as well live it up.

Because it could be great to know who the Devil is.

And take a fucking (imitates camera snapping)

cellphone photo.

(laughing)

[Narrator] The ocean from Open Water.

So what I'd do is to just die quicker.

It's very morbid.

Make it a short film, do a few festivals.

(laughing)
