Re: The Charlie Chan Game (Guess the Movie) - Change of Schedule?

Thanks MysteryMan..I kind of assumed it was Monogram's movies with Toler.

DMC, first off I appreciate you giving me the challenge. I don't get to play my own game so...

All I was saying in my previous post was that even Charlie Chan or Sherlock Holmes needs a clue to solve a mystery I know it's a Toler movie but off the top of my head, trying to go by memory, I can't imagine what scene would be reused. Unfortunately, my studies don't allow me to watch movies often. I try to get to a movie a week for my game but even that's tough to do.

All I can do is keep my eyes open next time around and see if I catch the reused scene. Just not sure when that might be.

Re: The Charlie Chan Game (Guess the Movie) - Change of Schedule?

RChanFan, do we suppose Mystery Man knows, based on what he hinted at?

In the first movie that the scene was shown in, my husband thought it was a silly scene, so I think that is why he picked up on it in a subsequently made movie. They only used a shortened clip of the earlier sequence, the second time around.

Maybe Mystery Man knows. shall we let it sit for others to figure out?

I'd still love to figure it out. I'll continue to try to think about it. It's tempting to pull out all the Toler movies and just watch them straight through to find out but unfortunately I'd first have to figure a way to stop time for a few hours heh. It's definitely a good mystery..for all of us who don't know.

It does sound like MysteryMan knows. I'll think about what you said: being a silly scene.

Re: The Charlie Chan Game (Guess the Movie) - Change of Schedule?

Yep...I Know! Another hint: They Both have "S" in the title.......

Now wait..does that mean they start with an S or they just have an 's' somewhere in the title name. Good thing you didn't say they have a 'C' in the title because then it wouldn't be much of a hint since they're all titled "Charlie Chan something-something" lol

Well at least that hint will give me some direction, thanks.

On Second Thought..

Actually on second thought, perhaps knowing if the titles start with 'S' might make it too easy. So let's just say they have 's' in the title for now and see if I can figure it out

I Figured It Out DMC!

I figured out what scene was reused! The strangest thing was, it was one of the scenes I was thinking about when you first brought up the challenge, however I couldn't place the first movie it appeared in. In fact, the first movie it appeared in was the only Monogram movie that I haven't rewatched recently!

Then when MysteryMan said the titles contained 's' in it, those two movies actually were the first to pop into my head. Sure enough, they both had the scene! So thanks to MysteryMan for that and thank you DMC (and your husband) for the challenge and actually bringing this up, because I didn't even realize this scene was in both movies (or at least not consciously heh).

I've provided three screenshots of the scene. If there's anyone else who would like to guess which movies the scene is from, I won't name the movie titles.

Scene1

Scene2

Scene3

Re: I Figured It Out DMC!

Oh, I am glad that you figured it out. I was beginning to feel guilty for causing you such a problem, but didn't want to take away the challenge for others.

Now they all have an extra "game", and should have fun.

Ah no reason to feel guilty. I usually love challenges and puzzles.
