Things You Learned From Watching Chernobyl Diaries
I finally got to see this on blu-ray after my local cinema refused to show it!
1) When going on an "Extreme Tour", always let someone know where you're going and that if they don't hear back from you by a certain time, to call the police, army etc to come looking for you - just in case the tour guide "works alone"
2) When an armed guard tells you not to go into an area due to "maintenance", there is probably a very good reason not to go there that he hasn't told you about
3) For some reason there is only four hours of daylight in Pripyat, so it's probably best to take the journey there in the dark, arriving at sunrise, that gives you two hours to look around, and another two to walk back to the checkpoint in case the vehicle breaks down.
4) Never go swimming in, or walk across a rotting bridge over a lake or river which a group of starving German Shepherd dogs are keeping well clear of, as there's probably something nasty in there that bites!
5) Geiger counters normally explode when the radiation levels become too high, so if yours explodes, you're *beep*
6) When you are sitting inside a vehicle in a potentially hostile area during the night, it's best not to keep the light on until the battery runs completely flat - see Jaws for additional proof.
7) When you are being chased through some old building by hostile forces, by all means close the doors behind you to slow them down, but before you do, make sure you are the right side of them!
8) In some countries, the special forces are trained to abandon defenceless people in hostile areas that are under their protection, and to go on the offensive.
9) If you need to take a rest in an abandoned town at night, never sit at the top of a staircase that leads to a subway.
10) Mannequins from clothes shops can be very useful to cause distrations at night.
