The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you.
3. GPS systems in armored trucks carrying a total of 42 million dollars are not monitored unless the truck fails to call in every hour.
Eagle Shield Security is a pretty badass security company to just let 42 million in the dark for hours. I've got better GPS than that in my cellphone.
Yeah... except their trucks didn't have GPS. Eagle Shield Security was getting new trucks with GPS, and the trucks in the movie were their old trucks. I think the GPS was mentioned to let the viewers know that THOSE trucks did NOT have GPS yet.
share4. You can be employed by a armored truck security firm even if you're drowning in debt and bills.

7. Electric transmission cables interfere with all communications devices for miles around.
8. People who carry the bible around all day will stab you without thinking twice, but then feel so guilty that they jump off a building.
9. Jean Reno forgot how to speak.
10. Armored trucks have no advanced technology whatsoever.
11. Armored car companies no longer expect you to check in at every stop. Even is you are delivering $42 million, just calling in once an hour is fine.
shareYou can be employed by a armored truck security firm even if you're drowning in debt and bills.
This one's right. You can.
Wages and benefits for armored truck guards are about the same as other rent-a-cop jobs, which is to say not very good. The turnover is about the same as well.
share12. After picking up $42 million, and with no other pickup stops, you are given 2 hours to make it back to HQ.
share13. If Matt Dillon is hunting you down on a truck race, not only he will catch up with you but he will lead you back exactly where you started.

22. Bums don't trust security guards.
23. Hot dogs taste much better when they are flambéed.
24. Everything has it's price, even family.
25. Fred Ward is still a badass MOFO.
Priests adore prophets, prophets resent priests
26. Jimmy should have gone to school.
27. A bomb can be built from whatever you have lying around in the back of your truck.
28. A city so depressed that square miles of factories lie in ruins, still requires tens of millions of dollars of currency transfers each day.
29. That criminals whose entire goal is to break into an armoured truck will ALL look away at least FOUR TIMES for at least 60 seconds each time to allow you to escape, come back with a body, escape again, plant a booby-trapped-sensitive improvised bomb in the other van) and get back into your car. ALL without encountering a single hostile.
30. As an addendum to #30, the ONLY hostile who will confront you (or even see you before the "click" of the doors closing) during any of the FOUR times you escaped/entered/escaped/entered will commit suicide when he meets you, even though seconds earlier he had a gun to your head and his ticket to getting away with the robbery was almost done.
31. That NO ONE will consider the MENTIONED and VERY SMART plan B of simply splitting $21 million among 5 people ($4.1 million each). Seriously, is it THAT much worse than the original $42 million among 6 people ($7 million each) that they go through all of what follows? (Once they stabbed their fellow robber, they were down to 4 splitting the $21 million - $5 million each.).
32. Even if criminals needed to rid themselves of the alibi in the other van, they will never consider grabbing the $21 million, torching the other van AS MENTIONED (even though it ruins the other half), thus killing their turncoat AND solidifying the likelihood of it being a robbery (one guard dead, only one half missing/other half burned)...
33. Get a decent all star cast and worry about script and facts later. Or not at all either way.
34. After all your friends are dead and all the money is burnt it will make you feel better to kill your godson.
35. (The Most Important) Bums will always rain on your parade.
"I think I'm confused .... But i'm not sure"
36. It's not necessary to check the place where you decided to stop during the robbery, all the ex factories are supposed to be empty.
share28. is "truth in television". Every big city DOES have lots of abandoned industrial buildings and warehouses.
"Hot lesbian witches!"
Armed and Dangerous was a better movie and at least entertaining.
share37. It's ok to waste your precious hour by breaking off the hinges of an armored truck despite the fact that there's a steel bar that locks the doors in place from the inside.
38. It's ok to assume that the feds are going to eventually give up tracking the serial numbers on the money we steal if we hide it long enough before we start using it.
What do you do when your past won't let you out and your future won't let you in?
39. Stealing spray paint from a store is bad, but stealing it from your school is fine because, hey, at least you're going to school.
40. An elderly female social worker will gladly make a home visit to the hood late at night and alone.
