The Jackal

I saw the movie The Jackal....you know that Bruce Willis movie. If you saw it...then keep reading. There is a seen in that movie when Bruce's charater, sprays something on the van in the garage. This is when he is being stalked by 3 men. He goes down into the parking garage and washes his car with a pressure washer. He changes the color of his paint from white to red. After he paints it...he sprays something on the rear handle of his van. THe guy then touches it and he starts choking...then he starts foaming at the mouth. WTF is that shit he sprayed.


This is for all you chemical guys out there.

its called the movies, its not real. . .

Good Call

I dunno....i was just curious.

Don't reply if you don't know what you're talking about :rolleyes:

I have not seen the movie, but from your description it sounds like any number of neurotoxins, perhaps a tetrodotoxin. They are liquid form that come in aerosal spray cans.

How fast did it take to kill him? If it was somewhat instant, that may be somewhat of a Hollywood exaggeration. There are certain types of frogs and shellfish that excrete toxins that can kill someone within 15 minutes, so I assume it is possible for some to extract that and use it as a weapon. But most neurotoxins take anywhere from 1-24 hours for full effect.

Meguiars penetrating death foam. You can get it at any AutoZone.

It killed him in like 10 secs.

It was nano technology..

wow i was unaware that there were frogs that you could touch and they would kill you in 10 seconds. Thats incredible. Considering most poisons like must either be ingested or forcefully put into the body. Thats just crazy that you can touch a frog and die from it, wow!

NOOOO it took 10 seconds to kill the guy in the movie not 10 seconds to die from a frog...but r u talking about poison dart frogs cuz those things are hard core!!!!

There is some (very rare) neurotoxin out there, of which a single drop will kill you; I don't think that was Hollywood exaggeration, except for how Bruce got hold of that.....

Whaddya mean? he was the ULTIMATE assassin. He had a 14.7mm anti-material machinegun mounted with a computerized scope in the back of a minivan.... of COURSE he'd have the ultimate poison to deterr (red: kill) trackers.

Heh, I think the 14.7 was a Hollywood thang. :icon16:

But "Carlos the Jackal" supposedly had a lot of financial backing, so getting that kind of stuff would probably be possible.

Bring On The Spall!

Bring On The Spall!

Erm, "Spall"?

It says so in the movie when he gets it. If I remember right I think the woman he got it from said it attacks your liver or something like that. :dunno:

Its just a movie, not everything in movies can be explained. Think FnF lol

:rofl:

I remember that seen. Maybe a liquid form of sarin gas? :confused:

Or maybe he was related to me and is deathly allergic to minivans.

There are toxins that will absorb through your skin and kill you from a mere touch, like the poison dart frog. And there are toxins that will kill you almost instantly, such as some species of conch shells that can kill a full grown man in roughly 10-15 seconds with one sting. If you could combine these qualities, well there ya go, although I can't think of anything off the top of my head that kills that quickly from just touch. It's gotta take some amount of time just to absorb through the skin...

liquid gas. yep. way to go on that one. :grinno:

liquid gas. yep. way to go on that one. :grinno:

:lol: Oh thats great

liquid gas. yep. way to go on that one. :grinno:

Maybe it was a little big circle square...

Erm, "Spall"?

From the movie... the scene where he shoots Jack Blacks arm off.

Ahh, so!

Wtf? I think you misread my friend.

I personally like the part where he's adjusting his new gun and has the dude hold up the pack of smokes to see how much it's off by. Jack Black gets 0wN3d.

Don't spray dangerous chemicals onto your car, just take him to a French restaurant and feed him DEATH FROG.

....except for how Bruce got hold of that.....

or, how he opened the trunk afterwards to load the gun (or I guess you could call it a cannon).

gotta go; I'm up to the part where he blows off Jack Black's arm. :evillol:

Naw. Just take him to a Japanese restaurant where the new chef is learning to prepare fugu properly.

Seriously, any toxin applied topically (skin contact) will most certainly take longer than 10 seconds to kill. Hell, IV administration takes longer than that.

It's the movies. Anything cool can happen in the movies.
