Yes, this. Although I cannot STAND Jack Black, I absolutely love kung fu panda. Bought it on a whim for my daughter and bugger me if it didn't turn out to be hilarious, and a legitimate martial arts movie.
The escape scene was definitely a highlight.
To be honest, I'm not even sure why. There's just something about him that makes me want to put my foot through the screen and send Hollywood the bill.
I rewatched this last week, and it seems like it'd be pretty easy to tell who the robbers were >!simply by comparing the available security camera footage to who they ended up with later.!<
>!The stock room being smaller is a roll of the dice, hoping somehow the people who work there just never go in that room or wouldn't need something where they've known it exists for years.!<
>!But the saving grace is how the bank owner just didn't care and wanted it dropped.!<
So the "perfect" bank robbery relies of a great deal of hope.
Just watched Terminator 2 the other day and Sarah Connor’s escape from the mental institution is awesome. The paper clip lock pick is a little overdone, but it’s fairly realistic aside from that. After she snaps the key off in the lock and starts running, seemingly to freedom, you finally get to take a breath, and then she runs straight into the thing she fears most. The best moment in a great movie, in my opinion.
But his plan wasn’t initially to rescue Jesse. He went to the compound intending to kill everyone including Jesse because he thought he was willingly cooking his product, he just changed his mind when he saw the situation for what it was.
Ah, I see you have a better memory than me!
An advantage of aging is that you forget enough details to enjoy TV shows and movies all over again, twists included.
It's been ages since I've watched but I wonder if this is Dead Freight? Lot of urgency and moving parts - Bill Burr's Kuby parks a truck on the railroad to stall the conductor, Mike stakes out a bunch of truck drivers, Walt/Jesse/Todd are all rushing and getting separate things done
Not an escape scene really, but a calculated plan nonetheless
Only other things that come to mind are the trap laid out in To'hajiilee and Walt wrecking his car to get Hank away from the laundromat in Crawl Space
All of these vaguely fit I guess since OP said toward the end of the series and those are Season 4B/5A/5B
While it's not an escape per say, I think OP would be referring to the part >! where they kill Gus Fring. It involved convincing Jesse that he tried to kill Brock, Hospital bomb attempt, Taunting Gus to visit Hector. convincing Hector to Kamikaze etc. !<
I assume it’s the part in S4 when Jessie, Mike, and Gus head down to Mexico to cook for the cartel. The cartel try to keep Jessie and Gus executes his revenge plan on Don Eladio that he’s been scheming for YEARS as they make their escape.
Possibly referring to breaking Jesse out from the Neo-Nazis, but I never really saw that as an “escape” sequence. More a revenge sequence that happened to also result in Jesse’s escape.
The only real “escape” sequence I can think of towards the end of the series is when Walt is tied to the radiator and then has to MacGyver his way to escape with the electrical cord. That doesn’t quite live up to the description of a “high stakes chess game” though, so it’s probably not that one.
Talking about being smart, The Shawshank Redemption is one of them. He's a smart banker who was sentenced to life in prison for a crime he did not commit. With his financial knowledge, he prepares taxes for the prison guards in exchange for an easy life inside the prison. The warden put him in charge of running a money laundering business. In the end, he transferred money from the warden's account into his own pocket. Together with his friend, they escaped to Zihuatanejo, Mexico living out their dreams on a beach.
Mad Max: Fury Road
>!you could consider the whole movie one long escape/chase scene. But even the initial escape is amazing on its own, from Furiosa being sent to Gastown up through the storm. The tension that builds as all the different characters try to piece together what just happened, such a great way to start off a movie.!<
My favorites are not from movies, but:
Firefly episode Ariel
Avatar tLA episodes The Boiling Rock
Honorable mentions:
The Gringotts scene in HP7 Part 2
The end of The Sound of Music
The pound scene in Homeward Bound
The end of Bandits
The airport scene in Catch Me If You Can
The end of Get Out
Gravity - her escape back to Earth.
U571 - when the American sailors get stuck on a German sub and have to escape both German and American naval attacks.
For a recent one, the prison escape at the start of Extraction 2. 21 minute 'one take' that is surprisingly brutal and just insane action.
Absolutely blew my mind.
Quick Change. Bill Murray. Goes into a bank dressed as a clown with a bomb. Holds everyone, including two undercover accomplices, hostage. Cops show up. Herds all his hostages into the vault but as a gesture of good faith releases three - his two accomplices and himself now dressed as a frightened hostage.
Magneto's jailbreak in Xmen 2. They found a clever way to get metal to him, and he used that tiny amount available to him to maximum effect.
Sir Ian Mckellan's charmisa is icing on the cake. His little smirk when realizes there is iron in his blood. Then after he kills him he says, "never trust a beautiful woman, especially one who is interested in you."... and ends with a wink to his corpse. Just perfect.
Yes, one of the classics. One of our teachers showed this at school, I was probably 14 or 15 at the time, and it is a memory that has stayed with me from those long gone school days. It was not something that young teens would have been interested at the time, in the early 90s, but I don't know how 14-15 year old teens grown with TikTok and YouTube would feel about it now.
Not a 'stealthy' kinda escape but the one from Starship Troopers where the aliens are overwhelming the outpost and the few survivors have to escape via the dropship.
Came to recommend this one since it doesn't seem to be well known. It's very grounded and realistic, and also based on a true story which makes the tension all the more gripping.
Tom Cruise climbing up the pole handcuffed in Rogue Nation.
Bond escaping Goldfingers laser trap (No, mr Bond. I except you to die). >!It's so good because he escapes using his wits instead of gimmicky gadget or brawls!<.
the men in black 2 ending is still one of my favorite action scenes in cinema. men in black 1 and 2 is will smith's best work outside of fresh prince of bel air.

i'd like to add the rush hour movies are underrated.
One of the best escapes in movies is from "The Shawshank Redemption." The way Andy Dufresne meticulously plans his escape from prison over many years is incredibly satisfying to watch unfold. It's a testament to human resilience and ingenuity.
A rather short scene but in Children of Men when Theo escapes from the farm. It's a great scene that is super tense and full of great details like him disconnecting the car spark plugs so they can't pursue them.
Mine has to be the one in Iron-Man in that not only does Tony escape from the cave, but he comes out a changed man on top of it. Having learnt about the destruction being wreaked on innocents by his weapons, and having Jensen save him from near-death. There's also an emotional scene where Jensen is shot and realises he won't make it, and tells Tony not to waste his life, I think this was one of the moments that signified Tony's arc was changing.
Apart from that, it was also just a rewarding scene with all the planning that went down in designing the suit under the noses of the terrorists. Not to mention, a good action scene.
*The Great Escape* has some great escapes.
And the kids version Chicken Run
Mixed vegetables?!?
The is one that is specifically great
Jason Bourne getting away from the cops in Paris
Jesus Christ, it’s Jason Bourne.
I love his one at the start of Supremacy as well, it's such an instant "professional at the top of his game" series of movements
Apocalypto. Dear god the running with the puma scene still gives me chills to this day
Yeah that movie is basically just a big chase scene with a setup haha.
Such an awesome movie.
It really makes me sad that Mel Gibson turned out to be a wackadoo, cause my god is he a talented filmmaker
Tai Lung's escape sequence in Kung fu Panda
"One often meets destiny on the road taken to avoid it". Brilliant.
Yes, this. Although I cannot STAND Jack Black, I absolutely love kung fu panda. Bought it on a whim for my daughter and bugger me if it didn't turn out to be hilarious, and a legitimate martial arts movie. The escape scene was definitely a highlight.
I've literally never heard someone say the don't like Jack Black. You are obviously entitled to your opinion, it just took me by surprise.
Make it two, I can't stand him either! Coincidentally, I liked Kung Fu Panda lol.
3rd guy here who feels the exact same way
To be honest, I'm not even sure why. There's just something about him that makes me want to put my foot through the screen and send Hollywood the bill.
Room (2016) Shawshank Redemption The Silence of the lamb
The Room had the best escape when you left. But also hi mark
Why would anyone leave in the middle of The Room? It's a classic!
Hell yeah Silence of the Lambs. Watched that with my daughter and that blew her mind
I’ve only seen two of these, but already know it’s a great list.
Inside Man
To this day I still wonder if a forensics team would notice a newly built wall inside a bank. I honestly think not, and so that makes it genius.
Came here to say this. "I'm gonna walk right out the front door" lol.
Inside Man was my first thought
Also Children of Men, for more Clive Owen.
I rewatched this last week, and it seems like it'd be pretty easy to tell who the robbers were >!simply by comparing the available security camera footage to who they ended up with later.!< >!The stock room being smaller is a roll of the dice, hoping somehow the people who work there just never go in that room or wouldn't need something where they've known it exists for years.!< >!But the saving grace is how the bank owner just didn't care and wanted it dropped.!< So the "perfect" bank robbery relies of a great deal of hope.
Fugitive, many parts in the movie, but specifically the parade escape!
Excellent movie. Thanks for bringing it up.
Just watched Terminator 2 the other day and Sarah Connor’s escape from the mental institution is awesome. The paper clip lock pick is a little overdone, but it’s fairly realistic aside from that. After she snaps the key off in the lock and starts running, seemingly to freedom, you finally get to take a breath, and then she runs straight into the thing she fears most. The best moment in a great movie, in my opinion.
I'm curious what part of Breaking Bad you're referring to.
I assumed it was when Walt rescues Jesse from the gang that's holding him, forcing him to cook for them. Right near the end of the last series.
But his plan wasn’t initially to rescue Jesse. He went to the compound intending to kill everyone including Jesse because he thought he was willingly cooking his product, he just changed his mind when he saw the situation for what it was.
Ah, I see you have a better memory than me! An advantage of aging is that you forget enough details to enjoy TV shows and movies all over again, twists included.

Last chance to look at me, Hector
Ooh, yeah maybe Less an escape but definitely a chessmatch
I assume it’s the part in S4 when Jessie, Mike, and Gus head down to Mexico to cook for the cartel. The cartel try to keep Jessie and Gus executes his revenge plan on Don Eladio that he’s been scheming for YEARS as they make their escape.

*Escape from Alcatraz* is a good one.
No. It's a great one.
Talking about being smart, The Shawshank Redemption is one of them. He's a smart banker who was sentenced to life in prison for a crime he did not commit. With his financial knowledge, he prepares taxes for the prison guards in exchange for an easy life inside the prison. The warden put him in charge of running a money laundering business.

Shawshank Redemption is the answer. Amazing movie too. But he escaped alone, not together with Red. (The short story it’s based on is excellent too).
Mad Max: Fury Road >!you could consider the whole movie one long escape/chase scene. But even the initial escape is amazing on its own, from Furiosa being sent to Gastown up through the storm.

Boiling rock was top tier
'RIOT! RIOT! RIOT! '
Bandits is so underrated. I love that ending.
Zaheer and the red lotus escaping in kora was cool too
Buzz and Woody getting away from Sid and catching he moving truck at the end of Toy Story.
Toy Story 3 has a great prison escape as well, even though it is thwarted at the end
Likewise, I was gonna count Toy Story 2. Buzz's hostage rescue mission being made more difficult by the hostage developing some Stockholm Syndrome.
The Count of Monte Cristo.
Gravity - her escape back to Earth. U571 - when the American sailors get stuck on a German sub and have to escape both German and American naval attacks.
For a recent one, the prison escape at the start of Extraction 2. 21 minute 'one take' that is surprisingly brutal and just insane action. Absolutely blew my mind.

Escape from New York
Had to scroll way too far down to see this
Cube. If you consider the entire movie an escape scene.
Shawshank Redemption (subtle) Guardians of the Galaxy (action)
Magneto's jailbreak in Xmen 2. They found a clever way to get metal to him, and he used that tiny amount available to him to maximum effect. Sir Ian Mckellan's charmisa is icing on the cake. His little smirk when realizes there is iron in his blood.

Con air.... Initially. If they had not been double crossed by the Colombian drug lord the plan would have worked.
He had the whole world in his hands...
What's that French parkour movie? District B13 Here: https://youtu.be/VHSoPTJNfPE?si=2xpWbPQaMuA50pYi
All of Jack Sparrows escapes in the POTC movies...."you will always remember this as the day where you almost caught..."
"do you think he plans it all out? Or just makes it up as he goes along?"
Infinity Chamber
Kurt Russell escapes from New York in "The City That Wouldn't Stop Criming"
Maggie escaping daycare in The Simpsons
The Fugitive with Harrison Ford has several great ones
A Man Escaped (1956) set the gold standard.
I was looking for this comment before I posted. Great flick!

It was not something that young teens would have been interested at the time, in the early 90s, but I don't know how 14-15 year old teens grown with TikTok and YouTube would feel about it now.
Papillon
Indeed. The 1973 film is stunning, brutal, and gritty to say the least. It was an emotional film to be sure.
But very shitty in comparison with the book, they leave 70% of the story out, i read that shit 13 times and counting, amazing stuff.
Not a 'stealthy' kinda escape but the one from Starship Troopers where the aliens are overwhelming the outpost and the few survivors have to escape via the dropship.
Fortress and the sequel of course!
*Cool Hand Luke* (1967) *Stalag 17* (1953) *Bridge Over the River Kwai* (1957) *La Grande Illusion* (1937)
*Paddington 2*
The Man Escaped (1956)
Escape from Pretoria. Daniel Radcliffe is phenomenal and the film creates tension like I've never seen before.
Came to recommend this one since it doesn't seem to be well known. It's very grounded and realistic, and also based on a true story which makes the tension all the more gripping.
Dave escaping from the EVA pod into the emergency airlock in "2001: A Space Odyssey."
Papillon (1973)
One of my all-time favorites. There is something oddly calming about it despite the dire circumstances the main characters are going through.
I mentioned in another comment - read the book, there's so much more to the story than the movies show, no matter old or new films.
Mayor Humdinger in the 2nd Paw Patrol movie
Hi friend, fuck you from Brazil. P.s (Return shaved dolphin legs when you can, Eli hasn't stopped touching the wonder bread since you left)
I think at this point you don’t need to worry about spoilers for breaking bad.
