This is my first post and this site certainly seems perfect for me--I am a rabid CC fan. So first let me say Hello.
The only scene (that I can think of) that vaguely resembles what you remember is this: they were dangling a corpse ( or maybe it was a dummy over a stair case--I really don't remember but I think it was a dead body). I don't recall a meathook but maybe a kid would think a meathook was involved. It was establishing an alibi or something. I believe it was the movie with the gas room in it and the obnoxious scientist who really deserved to be killed. I know it was from the low budget period so I got out my VCR's and I think it was in The Jade Mask. I would have to watch it again to be sure though.
I really haven't watched the newer films near as much as the others so I am a bit hazy on the details and could be wrong on this one.
Could this be the scene you remember?
Or does anyone else remember the body tangling over the staircase and which film this was in?
