I checked the front latch to better answer your question. It is buried in structure, so no popping the trunk open easily. Even if the metal skin on the hood were removed, it would not be a simple task to operate the latch to get the hood open. It's as if the designers of the latch intentionally made it difficult to pop open. Really the easiest way to get the hood open would be to cut a square out of the hood over the latch, cut the exposed latch itself from the hood, then get a new hood from Woody. If you try to cut in any other way you'd go through the front plastic bumper and then through the metal structure that holds the latch, which cannot be easily replaced.
