1. That ain't a Honda
2. Check out how the lock area on the door is all deformed from them trying this
3. WTF is up with that video? It's pretty lame. "For Innocent Women Only"???? Who else was waiting for something funny or sexual to happen?

Probably an Opel or a Peugeot or a Skoda or some other under-engineered POS. I doubt this little trick works on any good cars.

It is more likely the flexing of the door that pops the lock. There is a thread going around about a spot you can whack the passenger door on a Mazda3 and it will pop the lock. Seems the release rod is very close to the door skin.

Maybe we should get together with a bunch of cars and tennisballs and see what opens?

Just bang around on your door panel until the lock pops or not and let us know the results. :wink:
