Actually it should only pop the hood a little bit, the interior latch release is an anti theft device designed to keep people out of your engine compartment. The second latch release inside the grille is meant to completely open the hood, the double latch system also saves you from having the hood hit the windshield if the latch fails while driving, or you forget to latch it completely.

How do you repair the hood latch for the 1991 Mercedes 190E 2.6 the handle in the car that opens the hood does not work it does not pop the hood?
The hood is openned by a cable that links the handle in the car the hood latch. If the cable is broken or detached then the hood will not open. The cable has two parts, an outer covering and the actual cable that pulls on the hood latch when the inside handle is pulled, you need to check the inside handle to see if the cable is still attached to the handle, also you need to check the hood latch to see if that end is still attached to the hood latch. If either is disconnected the you will need to get appropriate hardware(nuts,bolts etc) to attach it back but if the cable is broken it has to be replaced complete. This you might or might not be able to do depending on you skill and proficiency with tools.

What if your hood latch cable broke and you cant pop your hood on a 2003 jeep?
I have a '93 Jeep Cherokee. I had the same issue with my hood release handle breaking from the cable. I was able to release the hood without cutting holes or taking the front lights out. You have to simply unscrew the release handle from its mounts(3 screws on the inside of the jeep). Remember the handle was attached to a long sheath that is covering the actual cable. Most likely the actual cable is still attached to the hood release. Once the handle assembly is released, pull on the black sheath only, (NOT the actual metal cable) using a pair of pliers. It will take some force as you have to pull the entire sheath all the way out. What will be left is the metal cable. pull on the cable using the same pliers and there you have it....A HOOD THAT IS OPEN! AWESOME!

How do you open a bonnet on a Fiat Palio Go 2006 when the latch is broken?
The latch is broken, not the cable. You can still get to the cable where it is attached to the latch in the foot-well of the car. Grab the cable with a small vice-grip (or similar) and pull. Note that it is very unlikely the cable will break -the latch typically breaks before the cable since the latch is made from plastic and the cable from steel wire.

It depends on what is wrong with the cable. When you pull the hood release within the car, is the latch not popping? If you can get the hood up at all, then you should look at the actual latch system where the cable runs, there is a metal clip that holds the cable to the latch. Have another person pull the interior latch release and watch the cable.

if the cable is still attached to the latch, then cut it to length where it sets right below your lower valence. just crouch in front of car, and pull cable. if cable is not attached to latching device, use a screw driver to remove the latch support beam(i think it has three bolts) and wiggle your hood up and down, slowly moving the screwdriver towards the latch. with some luck you can jimmy it open. or sawzall the hood off!

If it is just the inside handle broken off you can pull the cable with a pair of pliers. If it is in the middle, you should be able to reach up from underneath and cut the cable and then pull the inside cable. If the latch end has pulled off, you may be able to trip the latch from underneath, or take the grill out and unbolt the latch.
