have someone sit on it as you pop it. Pop it and have someone try to push it up or down or whatever. Cut it since it's allready fucked up. Hit it with something. It may not open it....but it will make you feel better.

What kind of car is it? If it's an EK, you can reach in thru the grille (you have to break it) and take off the hood latch all together via the 10mm bolts.
