Things I've learned from Brick Mansions


Since I saw the movie today I learned so much new things. I just LOVED this movie (Not).

Like, I didn't know:

1. If your name is Paul Walker and you recently died, your last movie will be rated a 6+ by the average IMDb user even though the film is totally *beep*

2. People from the US government have acces to all your bank accounts (Even off shore in Switserland) and they can just empty it whenever they feel like it.

3. When the breaks and steering wheel of your car are broke, your car suddenly goes faster (without pressing the gas pedal) and when you hit some other cars with 100mph you will not be injured nor the airbags come out.

4. When you're a gangster and you live in the getto you have to hold your gun sideways. (If not you probably look gay?)

5. When a heavy metal door gets locked with a very large and sturdy chain with a big lock, all you need is a very large and strong guy who just takes a sprint and will burst through the doors.

6. At the end of the movie all the citizens of Brick Mansions rushed into the mayors building. So they must have gotten through the check points (obviously with violence) but they got through the whole city somehow without the major getting alerted.

7. If you live in the getto you have obviosuly no idea how to shoot with a weapon. Damien nor Lola nor Lino got even hit once. Even though they must have dodged at least over a 1000 bullets in several different scenes.

8. If you pick your nose three times in front of a gangsterboss you will get shot.

That's what I could think of now. I bet you guys must have learned a from this movie too! Please continue!

Ha ha. Awesome. I learned some of those things, but unfortunately (err...I mean FORTUNATELY) walked out of the movie well before it was finished. Just sad I wasted ticket money on it. Ugh.

Nice list :)

9. Drug problems and poverty don't exist. All you need to do is open some schools in a district and everybody becomes a happy citizen.

10. A drug lord who admits he has done terrible things in the past (and still shoots people when he feels like it) is sure to be voted for mayor if he proves in at least one instance that he is not super-villain-evil.

11. A armored truck can fix it's own grill after being hit by a harpoon.

Well I had to watch it to the end to see that I was wrong

12. Despite being used as a heavy weapon that can be effective in a fight, car steering wheels are surprisingly easy to remove.

13. Rockets that are designed with precise aerodynamics are unlikely to have their precisely calculated flight patterns altered by a box strapped on top and a woman chained to it.

14. Different techniques CAN produce the same results.

15. Tremaine will kill anyone who scratches his car but doesn't care that his crew keep shooting at it.

16. Sometimes the clock can reach 0:00 and the effect is the same as if it reaches 0:01.

17. Man fight = fist, feet and bricks.
Woman fight = whips and chains.


It's true. If you type "Google" into Google, you could break the Internet.

That is actually covered in the extended cut where Tremaine shoots one of his own men for shooting at his car.

16. When you hire RZA to act you end up getting a talentless actor.

17. It only takes a few seconds to get to the rooftop and knock out a sniper.
18. If the password is your zipcode number, you know its bad for some reason.

19. A satellite image can give you access to a rocket's control system and let you know when it becomes disabled.

20. If you want to terminate whole ghetto, you will nod send there a bomb that explode in the moment they open the suitcase or can be triggered by remote. You send bomb with false 12 hrs countdown. Then you send good cop who must get to it in time, arm it and blow it. .. uff my english sucks
