Some of the things I learned from Heist (spoilers)


1. When you know the code to the casino vault and you get fired, the code does not get changed.

2. Police officers always leave the keys to their vehicles in the ignition.

3. Depending on your demeanor, you can get a cop you've never met to help you escape by crashing her patrol car, because there's "just something about you".

4. You can light up a cigarette inside a bus soaked with gasoline and nothing happens.

5. Hospitals will except $300k in cash without asking any questions. (That one is probably true)

Feel free to contribute to the list.

Ladies and gentlemen...Mr.Conway Twitty

6. A vicious mob boss killer can be redeemed - and come off as almost likable - if he murders his right hand man in cold blood because he had a momentary pang of conscience about somebody else.

7. All kidnapped passengers on high jacked busses will completely lie and provide an alibi for you if you rib a casino and have been involved in killings and shoot outs .... IF ... they happen to like your way of handling your psychopathic henchman and are courteous to the kidnap victims.

8. A dying killer with a submachine gun clenched in his blood-soaked hand will say "he's sorry" to you ... but only if "you have tits"

9. Mysterious, life-saving surgeries for advanced cancer in a child are always scheduled for 15 minutes after a bill for $300k is due and must be paid in full in advance, unlike any other kind of surgery or medical procedure.

10. When robbing a heavily-armed casino run by ruthless criminals, make sure you don't point out to the driver of the getaway car the consequences of abandoning the heist team. Instead of having a 2nd getaway car nearby, conjure up an impossibly complex backup plan involving high jacking a city bus at a precise moment that you also have your fake pregnant sister on board, it's a great idea to jeopardize your sisters life as well as get her involved in felony criminal activity.

11. Being good at card tricks as a kid suggests you may have a future as a dealer.

12. Casino dealers also can have a past "serving fries" in the Army and a prison sentence.

13. What you remember from playing cards might come to the aid in making a casino heist.

14. Magical forests do not always capture children's imaginations like scary forests do.
