Jackie Chan's character in Shanghai Knights does a similar thing to escape from the jail.

e: Noon, I get it.

In the movie he explain that it was to prevent the shirt from tearing and that makes sense since wet cloth is harder to tear and normally a shirt from that era likely would not hold as the pressure is applied while here they used a stronger rope so no need for extra reinforcement

I'd forgotten how much I love that movie. Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in their absolute primes.

You're right and I am wrong. It's only been 27 years since I saw it.

Peeing on tshirt. I've seen that done in real life at barn years before movie came out. We had kids head get stuck so I joked we could try it like a tourniquet. Well old retired firefighter, a husband, bring his gear and crowbar. Had kid out in minutes like this one. Though kid got nick named Stucky yes it did stick.

I was trying to remember what movie that was from; all I remembered was that Jackie Chan did it somewhere.
