This special 2-hour ep of Mythbusters shows some fun stunts, including
trying to shoot padlocks off of doors, shooting a circle of bullet holes in
the floor and escaping a la Kate Beckinsale in "Underworld", and finally,
examining the myth that a real samurai sword could cut an opponent's blade
in two.

Great episode. Althought, I am wondering about the quality of steel in
the swords they were using - not saying I expected different results,
but most of them looked like your typical mall wall-hangers and I'd be
curious to see how those compare to authentic weapons.

Did you see the one they did about cleaning a cement truck with
explosives?
If not, I won't ruin it for you - it's worth watching :b
