am I imagining things or in the film with Russel Crowe in where hes a hostage negotiator in Brazil and in the end he goes in with his mates to get the hostages out of the jungle by force...he dives on a guy and cuts his throat

was I imagining things or does he use a leatherman?
 
cheers dude :D

if you were in this situation would you have used a multitool?

hmm...let me think

no!

personally i would have gone for something bigger stronger and pointier
 
I agree it was a serrated sheepsfoot blade, but it looked like the Leatherman Wave to me. But then, I've never freeze-framed and zoomed in to check.

I guess he didn't have anything bigger, stronger, nor pointier. He used what he had and got the job done.
 
The movie was "Proof of Life" and the tool was a Leatherman Wave. Good flick. The first bit is good, the middle is kinda boring, but the last half hour is some great action.
 
That vid is awesome, thanks for posting. Damn, he used the sheepfoot blade to stab/ "deanimate" that sentry. PWN3D!! Wouldn't a soldier in that situation have at least a bayonet to work with? I'm not sure I'd have that much confidence in my Wave.
 
I can remember reading a book a while back where the "hero" uses the pliers to take out a machete wielding sentry. author was either andy mcnabb or chris ryan.
 
say what you want about a leatherman's deanimation capiblities but I know a dude who killed his neighbor with a plain-jane leatherman, stabbed him to death, I'll never see that buddy again!! sure changed my view of leatherman's
 
Leathermans are great in a bar fight too, just grab his flesh with the pliers and all he is thinking about is getting the hell away from what ever's got him! That can opener will ruin your day too. Before most of you kids were old enough to drink we had to actually poke a hole in a hard metal can to get the beer out, that 'church key' hurts like hell and leaves a nasty scar.
