Three films that really could have done with an air con escape…

Nothing quite makes a film like a good old-fashioned escape through the air conditioning vent. These three films would have been oh so different…

PS. Watch out for slight spoilers…

1) Inglorious Basterds
Quentin Tarantino’s most recent masterpiece climaxed with a small Parisian cinema going up in flames with 300 Nazis inside and every possible exit door firmly locked. It might have been a tight squeeze, but Hitler and his friends could have scuttled their way to safety if only the cinema had air conditioning. Granted, this was way back in 1945…

2) Slumdog Millionaire
Whilst Jamal is on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? set, brother Salim is feeling guilty for his wicked ways and locks himself in a bathroom after helping Latika escape. Salim wants to end it all, but there might have been another way if when Javed’s goons break down the door, Salim has done a runner through the air con shaft. Michael Clarke Duncan In  Green Mile

3) The Green Mile
John Coffey is on Death Row for a crime he didn’t commit. The gentle giant with magical healing powers ultimately faces the electric chair but even at 6ft 5ins and weighing in at 145kg, we reckon he could have snuck out had there been a vent open to him. He was a nice chap though – so he still probably would have refrained.
