I'd say get someone in front of the car, pull and hold the handle and then have them try to pry it open using a rag and something to wedge into the gap

Did you try pushing down on the hood by the latch, then run in and pull the handle? That was usually the case with both my TA and my Formy.

if all else fails use a sawzall or a plasma cutter

lol i got it open just after posting that, i climbed under the front and pulled the cord from right by the latch and then pulled it once more from inside and it popped open, i applied a generous amount of oil to lube it up good and hasnt given me a problem since
