The one interesting fact I am thinking is that they test the robot fist punching in the same spot. The coffin did crack just after a few punches. A real person would understand to punch enough in one spot to make a crack and then start punching in another spot and finally knees, I think knees would be effective in a situation like this.
1: The effort involved in punching that hard takes more oxygen then normal, and under lacking conditions oxygen-wise, a person would not only cramp from oxygen deprivation, but they would certainly pass out faster than normal. Also, adrenaline and anger cause faster breathing repetitions.
2. The crack doesn't develop because it is the same amount of force on the same spot constantly. if the force was spread...
maybe someone highly trained in martial arts and full of adrenaline could break the coffin open. but i highly doubt it's possible to dig your way out of the ground at that point, as all the dirt starts collapsing, even if it's loose soil. well...crazier things have happened..
This is stupid. After the wood was broken, someone could start pushing the wood with their feet, knees, hands; YES, PUSH it, or try to punch it with a bigger motion (as wood had been cracked) - because, surprise, a martial arts expert is better than a brainless robot. The only problem would be that someone trapped inside there would not really be able to breath once mud started filling the coffin. He would die before reaching surface, most likely
whether or not you can break the coffin, you still can't get out, you'd need to remove about half the top of the coffin to get out. also, when a hole is made, the soil will fill the coffin instantly. completely busted in every way
pretty sure jon fitch hasn't spent a ton of time perfecting his 1-inch punch, lol. but uma's character actually worked at it and perfected it; that alone kills this experiment. should've got one of those dumbasses on youtube who sit around and actually practice crap like that.
well, a human would be able to punch further once the lid began to crack and open, but the robot was set up to always punch the same distance. It's like swinging a bat at a baseball and stopping right when they collide,the balls not gonna go far. This experiment was not properly executed and so I think the escape is very well possible. they should have set the fist to punch much further, the coffin still would have stopped it at 3 inches like it would a human.
they should have made the robot extend further instead of making it stop a soon as it hit the lit that might break the coffin, build team always does something wrong
The coffin in the movie was some half-assed shitty wood box that isnt as tough as a real coffin.
We are not sure if they did put 6 feet of dirt on the coffin in the movie, could of been 3, could of been 4, and it was extremely loose soil, not compressed and mounded by a dump truck
Robofist is a gelatin! A real fist is essentially pure bone which is far more impactful!
And finally, The Bride was really pissed off! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
@shitttty Those are all good points. The only fault I thought of was that the machine kept punching the same spot the whole time, whereas the bride may have been punching different spots - creating lots of cracks maybe.
@shitttty Well we don't really know how strong the box was. It had to be relatively sturdy considering it would have just crushed under the pressure of the dirt. If you watch the movie, she climbs a pretty long way up. If anything, it looks deeper than six feet. As for Robofist, ballistics gel is pretty powerful stuff (so is the metal arm). Look at how much abuse it took without any signs of stress. With a human hand, you'd have broken knuckles and torn skin after all those punches.
@shitttty yeah, in the movie, that short guy wasn't even visible when he was digging and then threw the showel out, but the hole was less than 6 ft deep. ;-)
@shitttty yeah its implied that they dont bury her a full 6 feet, furthermore a human being could punch the coffin in different areas as opposed to constantly punching in the same place with the same force. furthermore the bride was trained by pai mei i dont think that mma guy was trained by pai mei...
Like they said on the show they made it to movie specs, after all aside from making mythbusters they're also in the film industry, they know how the stuff is built.
The dirt detail would be relevant if there were a difference in the results between the dirt and no dirt test
still its applying the same amount of force as the martial artist. When he was calibrating it, there was a sensor in the punching bag to detect the amount of force recieved.
@shitttty You'r right. And besides, a real arm would be able to reach further up as the coffin breaks more and more. The robot arm is only set to reach a certain level wich only pushes the lid up and down.
@PhilosophtDrummer bottom three knuckles but you also need years of training to control youe qi to get to any part of your body and science will never understand that
It's how you punch, where you punch, consistency and to shut up the idiots, immediately as you break thru the dirt falls into thr casket this motion creates a funnel space going up just like in a void collapse. If you were to stay moving inside this cone moving up it's feasible you could get to the surface, as I said same principles and characteristics of a void collapse in a sink hole. Just follow the airs escape route
NO. It doesn't matter if the robot didn't "follow through" It's pretty hard to follow through when you're pretty much breaking your knuckles on wood, not to mention 1,500 pounds of dirt on top, it wouldn't matter if you followed through, let alone "dig your way out". you'd be crushed by the dirt, the second the dirt landed on you, it would force your stomach down, you'd only be able to exhale, you wouldn't have enough strength to inhale, even if you did, THERE'S DIRT THERE, YOU'D SUFFOCATE.
In the movie the coffin was nailed this coffin was screwed I call bs I want to see a martial arts expert and a shotty coffin like in the movie not a robot or Ryan Renolds
A crack proves that the man is able to break through because once its cracked u can ripped using your grip or arm strength however i think they should begin their test with a woman since hillbill is based on a woman punching through a coffin. But if all that sand coming into the cracked coffin u need to have enough time to weave out and escape before u are suffocated.
This is so flawed. The premature buried person wouldn't be just punching in one area. Not to mention they'd also be scratching the coffin lid in panic too, trying to get out. Little did they know, you could just bust a hole open on one of the sides and then tunnel your way out.
Alright, I don't want to sound like i'm complaining, but at their dirtless test, they could have moved the fist a little to the left or to the right, so there would be more cracks and the wood MAYBE could open. Right ?
I'm setting fence at a cemetery this week, and they only dig their graves 4 feet, due to the fact that the plot of land is seated atop a table of granite.
A repeated 3 inch punch obviously wouldn't allow a person to punch through the target, it would have to increase with each punch.
In life and death situations, humans have been known to move cars, 800 pound boulders off their chest etc. If you were buried alive, you'd be in hulk mode easily exceeding your typical strength.
hayz, you guys saying what ever you way criticizing try doing it your self, in fact we tried it and failed even how strong you punch even you master that technique , theres still a difference in punching laying and standing.
But she's not wearing a yellow suit in the scene. She only wears that in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and not even for a long time. When she's buried, her wrists and ankles are bound, and she wears brown leather pants with I think a grey or white top.
There is a thing called adrenaline that gives you superhuman strengh for a few seconds i think you would punch through that wood like a fucking bullet
BS, they use the punch force of some arbitrary MMA fighter and, as DarthScosha said, once it cracks the continues to punch the 3 inch distance rather than pushing up through the give of the crack... this is why I hate Mythbusters. They're fun to watch but very unscientific.
Okay, who decided that a random MMA fighter is a good measure for the secret technique ultra punch power? Besides, the robot was punching in a very stupid way. What they've shown actually proves to me that it can be done. The thing that worries me is how do you get out in time once the dirt starts filling your coffin.
The robot looks like it's built to punch in the same spot each time. After making a crack in one spot, wouldn't you move over a bit to break open a hole?
Coodnt someone just crack the lid a bit then use their fingers to pull back cracks and make the bigger then before you know if yoov ripped a big chunk out ...
I would just like to share something with everyone. The robot as well as Fitch do not have the training in order to perform the one inch punch. I am an instructor in Jeet Kune Do and have studied JKD for 20 years. The punch is a subtle punch requiring the performer to understand that the energy MUST travel in a wave form through the target utilizing the entire body and soul. Nothing against Fitch....he can deliver tremendous power but his technique allows his blow to disipate inside the target.
the robot is punching the exact same spot each time..
if the robot moved, it would make several of those cracks and I'll bet it could eventually break through.
Also, why didn't they put the pro fighter in there (sans dirt on top)?
And I agree with the other comments; having that gel fist totally messes things up... having that same force applied through a couple of knuckles is a lot different than having it applied via a much larger, mushier full fist.
But you would follow through with each punch as the wood breaks, therefore punching at a longer distance, e.g first punch 3 inches, 2nd punch 3.1 inches etc. The robot was only set to punch 3 inches every time so obviously it wont be able to punch through.
@DarthScosha Course, you also have to counter in the weight pushing down on the coffin (the soil overhead). So the shape of the coffin is less likely to alter, since you're not just punching the wood, you're punching all the soil above you as well. To even move it slightly you'd need to be striking it with several tonnes of force.
That robot arm is set to punch 4 inches in length only, that's why it can't punch through the crack. If the length of punches increased, like a human would do, it would break through straight away. Silly they can't see that.
@Curiousonic I was about to say the same thing. It can't punch through because it isnt physically able to. It isnt long enough. And Bones were the knuckles are would also help.
These "myth busters" really need to learn how to do their jobs properly, first off, the punch that the girl from kill bill did was called a one inch punch, it's not the same as a mma's punch, secondly the person in the coffin has two fists and would be rotating as the fists and pushing themselves once they feel the coffin crack, makes more power. Before researching anything about humans and one inch punches though they need to look up the meaning of a fair test.
@UltimatePiccolo I know you'd like to think it's possible, but with 6 feet of dirt on top that casket isn't going to budge at all. Also, if you watch a real one inch punch it uses the whole body. All the swinging force is in the should when confined to a coffin. Busted.
I would say after the initial crack I would actually turn my fist to punch at a 90 degree angle to the crack so that it doesn't go in just the same one
.....did Fitch just finish someone in a ring with a rear naked???? what is going on here.... how come they didn't show this highlight reel finish on the countdown shows....
.... if you cracked the wood what if instead of hitting the same place 600 times you hit different places so the wood would not just crack but completely split...
Also each future punch would have more force as your punch extends further.
Also, in the shot with the dirt on top, you could see the bottom was giving way, and the rubber wrist was bending, reducing the force on the coffin. John Fitch could break through.
The stupid piston just maxed out!.. and if you crack it and push it upward, you should be able to generate more force as it goes, 3, 4, 5, 6" above your back. John Fitch could break through.
The thing is after the casket is cracked in a split all the force is dissipated into the crack made....if there was a person there they would be able to follow through the punch and also change where the person was punching.... but yeah pretty crazy myth :P
1 the sensored the fist with a glove. And that guy... i really have preffered and older, experienced martial artist
2 robot's fist was made of ballistic jelly, thats NOT THE SAME as hardened bones
3 they put a robot to do the job of a human. I mean...real martial artists destroys massive concrete blocks, and this mechanized bastard cant even destroy a thin plank
5 the robot pushes up, it dont really punches the lid
I dont know, there re lots of fails in this test...
@tnafan sry, but UFC and Mixed Martial Arts are plain stupid.
Im not answering this to start a debate. but seriously... they look mating reptiles on a box ring. have you ever appraised real martial arts? have you ever seen Shaolin Training? those are truly deadly disciplines.
Im saying this because UFC is overestimated. Yes, jon fitch would kick my ass everyday, but he will never touch a kung fu master.
i hope you were joking. if not, well, dont take my reply as an aggresive one.
@EremesLoki i dont take you reply as aggresive,not at all. i cant blame you for saying this as its seems your uneducated about the sport.my opinion is that kung fu is like a dance,it looks good but it gives people that studie it the idea that the got somekind of death touch,i'm afraid the reality is that any self proclaimed kung fu master in a fight with a good mma fighter is gonna get knocked out or submitted.not saying that martial arts like Kyokushin or taekwondo arent effective.
This test is crap. The robot fist punches, but stays fully raised and stiff at maximum height against the wood. It kind of helps "push through" the wood. A real punch would actually bounce back off the wood, since a human arm fatigues, and is nowhere near as strong as the metal piston of the robot.
I think someone needs to define something like Occam's Razor for hand to hand combat. I'm going to go with the popular, if not 100% correct, version of Occam's Razor that states the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. In hand to hand combat, the less flashy and dramatic the move, the more effective it is. Conversely, the more complex and 'flashy' the technique is, the less effective it will be. There are obviously exceptions to this, but most of the time it's true.

But she's not wearing a yellow suit in the scene. She only wears that in Kill Bill Vol. 1, and not even for a long time. When she's buried, her wrists and ankles are bound, and she wears brown leather pants with I think a grey or white top.

BS, they use the punch force of some arbitrary MMA fighter and, as DarthScosha said, once it cracks the continues to punch the 3 inch distance rather than pushing up through the give of the crack... this is why I hate Mythbusters. They're fun to watch but very unscientific.

Okay, who decided that a random MMA fighter is a good measure for the secret technique ultra punch power? Besides, the robot was punching in a very stupid way. What they've shown actually proves to me that it can be done. The thing that worries me is how do you get out in time once the dirt starts filling your coffin.

The robot looks like it's built to punch in the same spot each time. After making a crack in one spot, wouldn't you move over a bit to break open a hole?

I would just like to share something with everyone. The robot as well as Fitch do not have the training in order to perform the one inch punch. I am an instructor in Jeet Kune Do and have studied JKD for 20 years. The punch is a subtle punch requiring the performer to understand that the energy MUST travel in a wave form through the target utilizing the entire body and soul. Nothing against Fitch....he can deliver tremendous power but his technique allows his blow to disipate inside the target.

purkkipilde 10 months ago
the robot is punching the exact same spot each time..
if the robot moved, it would make several of those cracks and I'll bet it could eventually break through.
Also, why didn't they put the pro fighter in there (sans dirt on top)?
And I agree with the other comments; having that gel fist totally messes things up... having that same force applied through a couple of knuckles is a lot different than having it applied via a much larger, mushier full fist.

their robot isn't doin' it right.... if they had given just a little bit more range then the results definitely would have been different..
voilentnerd 10 months ago
But you would follow through with each punch as the wood breaks, therefore punching at a longer distance, e.g first punch 3 inches, 2nd punch 3.1 inches etc. The robot was only set to punch 3 inches every time so obviously it wont be able to punch through.

BiGSH33N 7 months ago
@DarthScosha Course, you also have to counter in the weight pushing down on the coffin (the soil overhead). So the shape of the coffin is less likely to alter, since you're not just punching the wood, you're punching all the soil above you as well. To even move it slightly you'd need to be striking it with several tonnes of force.

murf69 11 months ago
That robot arm is set to punch 4 inches in length only, that's why it can't punch through the crack. If the length of punches increased, like a human would do, it would break through straight away. Silly they can't see that.

Foundlilly11 11 months ago
These "myth busters" really need to learn how to do their jobs properly, first off, the punch that the girl from kill bill did was called a one inch punch, it's not the same as a mma's punch, secondly the person in the coffin has two fists and would be rotating as the fists and pushing themselves once they feel the coffin crack, makes more power. Before researching anything about humans and one inch punches though they need to look up the meaning of a fair test.

@UltimatePiccolo totally agree, this one looks funny, they did so many mistakes understanding and testing all this.
avetiszakharyan 11 months ago
@UltimatePiccolo I know you'd like to think it's possible, but with 6 feet of dirt on top that casket isn't going to budge at all. Also, if you watch a real one inch punch it uses the whole body. All the swinging force is in the should when confined to a coffin. Busted.
albinoman13bt 11 months ago
I would say after the initial crack I would actually turn my fist to punch at a 90 degree angle to the crack so that it doesn't go in just the same one

kai0shin 11 months ago
.... if you cracked the wood what if instead of hitting the same place 600 times you hit different places so the wood would not just crack but completely split...
Also each future punch would have more force as your punch extends further.

You should probably try with different kinds of wood... You haven't been so... You know, precise
RebekkaSylvia 1 year ago
This is sorta... impractical. Clearly you would push once a crack was made... not attempt to punch "clean" through. Nice try guys...
stunnaonflyrims 1 year ago
Also, in the shot with the dirt on top, you could see the bottom was giving way, and the rubber wrist was bending, reducing the force on the coffin. John Fitch could break through.
cczerniak3516 1 year ago
The stupid piston just maxed out!.. and if you crack it and push it upward, you should be able to generate more force as it goes, 3, 4, 5, 6" above your back. John Fitch could break through.

The thing is after the casket is cracked in a split all the force is dissipated into the crack made....if there was a person there they would be able to follow through the punch and also change where the person was punching.... but yeah pretty crazy myth :P

meh this test is bullshit
1 the sensored the fist with a glove. And that guy... i really have preffered and older, experienced martial artist
2 robot's fist was made of ballistic jelly, thats NOT THE SAME as hardened bones
3 they put a robot to do the job of a human. I mean...real martial artists destroys massive concrete blocks, and this mechanized bastard cant even destroy a thin plank
5 the robot pushes up, it dont really punches the lid
I dont know, there re lots of fails in this test...

@tnafan sry, but UFC and Mixed Martial Arts are plain stupid.
Im not answering this to start a debate. but seriously... they look mating reptiles on a box ring. have you ever appraised real martial arts? have you ever seen Shaolin Training? those are truly deadly disciplines.
Im saying this because UFC is overestimated. Yes, jon fitch would kick my ass everyday, but he will never touch a kung fu master.
i hope you were joking. if not, well, dont take my reply as an aggresive one.
EremesLoki 1 year ago
@EremesLoki i dont take you reply as aggresive,not at all. i cant blame you for saying this as its seems your uneducated about the sport.my opinion is that kung fu is like a dance,it looks good but it gives people that studie it the idea that the got somekind of death touch,i'm afraid the reality is that any self proclaimed kung fu master in a fight with a good mma fighter is gonna get knocked out or submitted.not saying that martial arts like Kyokushin or taekwondo arent effective.

EremesLoki 11 months ago
This test is crap. The robot fist punches, but stays fully raised and stiff at maximum height against the wood. It kind of helps "push through" the wood. A real punch would actually bounce back off the wood, since a human arm fatigues, and is nowhere near as strong as the metal piston of the robot.
Tmkpnhfr 1 year ago
@Tmkpnhfr What's your point? As the robot arm didn't punch through it proves the point, a human def couldn't do it.

I think someone needs to define something like Occam's Razor for hand to hand combat. I'm going to go with the popular, if not 100% correct, version of Occam's Razor that states the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. In hand to hand combat, the less flashy and dramatic the move, the more effective it is. Conversely, the more complex and 'flashy' the technique is, the less effective it will be. There are obviously exceptions to this, but most of the time it's true.
