One minor thing that has always bothered me, and I'm not even sure that it qualifys as a bona fide blooper, also comes from "CASTLE IN THE DESERT." The Mojave Wells hotel manager tells Charlie Chan something to the effect that "You can fry an egg on that highway..." There is then a shot of a dirt road leading out into the desert. I don't know if an egg could ever fry on a non-paved road. Maybe it was just another piece of exaggeration on the manager's part, after all, he later tried to get Jimmy Chan to pay $2.00 for a room advertised outside the front of the hotel for 50 cents!
Rush,
People here have tried most every variation on the theme to prove how hot it gets here in Texas but I don't remember anybody trying it on asphalt. . . .
Where is Jimmy Chan when we need him?!
