Texas 7 prison break
what about the guy that broke out with a deck of cards. used a deck of cards to make a pipe bomb. soaked the deck in the sink and scraped off the layer of red dye, which at that time was flammable. then used the pipe from the sink. that's pretty epic

The best movie ever is shawshank redemption hands down

What about Papillon?
You missed Steven Russell
El Chapo's numerous ones. 4:55-Darn, I did good though. That guy is a male Carmen SanDiego as many times as he escaped.
It's funny how some you tubers who have less subs than watchmojo have like 2 k minimum likes on their comments without pin but watchmojo with pin has 10 likes
I have to say el chapo had the greatest escape of all time all time!
This list is trash. Where's the Texas Seven? Devils island escape? The maze as an honorable mention?
I thought John Dillinger's escape from Crown Point might have been included.
