11-18 18:41
Rush:

It is the only copy I could find online.
11-18 18:42

It’s address indicates it is a Russian link!
Looks okay…but I would not use cookies.
11-18 18:42
Matt:
Hope nobody from the gov’t knocks on our doors
11-18 18:42
Rush:
11-18 18:43
Matt:
I didn’t even notice the link
Maybe they have a lost film or two?
11-18 18:43
Rush:
Ironically, I was watching “The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!” on TCM before entering the Chat Room!
11-18 18:43
Matt:

11-18 18:43
Rush:
11-18 18:44

11-18 18:45
Rush:
The City by the Bay….
11-18 18:45

Beautiful city…..sad to see it today though
11-18 18:45

Barbie Dahl:
Or driving a Mustang down…
11-18 18:45
Rush:
LOTS of hills.
11-18 18:46
Matt:
I did a Segway tour there……I almost went down! Freaked my wife out on those hills, lol
11-18 18:46
Barbie Dahl:
Hmmm, who was the main protagonist?
11-18 18:47
Rush:
A long time ago, I drove a truckload of a museum show up there from San Diego. It was a rental truck with a bad transmission! I was really concerned about the hills!
11-18 18:47
Barbie Dahl:
Oh, right. Brian Keith
11-18 18:47
Matt:
I can imagine, lol
11-18 18:48
Barbie Dahl:
Ooo, that DOES sound sketchy, Rush.
11-18 18:48
Matt:
Aamaco must do a goooooood business there
11-18 18:48
Rush:
Not just one protagonist. it reminded me of “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.”
True, matt!!!
11-18 18:49

11-18 18:55
Rush:
This one goes for about 8 minutes…
Ready?
11-18 18:55
Louise:
You would get to the end of the line and hop off to help turn the car. Don’t know if they still allow it. This was the 1980s.
11-18 18:55
Matt:
Yep

Hello Nothere 👋🏻
11-18 19:00
Rush:
It features the Bay Bridge as seen in the ’40s.
11-18 19:01
Nothere:
So befoire the movie starts is there anything anyone wants to get off their chest?
11-18 19:01
Rush:
This one was replaced by a new bridge not too many years ago.
My chest is clear, NT!
11-18 19:01
Matt:
So this bridge is no more?
11-18 19:01
Rush:
Not the old one, I believe.

11-18 19:06
Rush:
IF anyone needs to use the online version, it asks you to accept cookies. When I test viewed it, I didn’t do that and it still worked.
11-18 19:07
Rush:
Also, it has a Russian web address, so, aside from the cookie request, I noted nothing wrong….
11-18 19:07
Matt:

11-18 19:11

Mike in DC:
not much dialog for the actors to learn so far

11-18 19:18
Rush:
CLUNK!!!
11-18 19:18

11-18 19:19
Barbie Dahl:
I can teach you how to throw a bullwhip, Paul… CRACK!
11-18 19:19
Rush:
Maybe a little chilly at night?
11-18 19:19
Paul Minturn:
its been cool the past few days, but it’ll be in the 70s soon
11-18 19:20
Rush:
Self-incrimination!
11-18 19:20

11-18 19:20
Nothere:
Would you believe it was the one armed man?
11-18 19:21

11-18 19:21
Nothere:
Quick Bates don’t be late to get to the gates.
11-18 19:21

GS, self taught for a long time then took a workshop with a whip artist who had been a circus performer to polish the rough edges. Been throwing for about 53 years now
11-18 19:22
Rush:
“The Hatchet in the Head”
BB theme music….
11-18 19:22
Barbie Dahl:
Started with a cheap circus whip when I was five
Workshop in NYC
11-18 19:22
Rush:
Yes, BD?
Interesting!
11-18 19:22
Matt:
Impressive BD!
11-18 19:22
Nothere:
Jockey, budding Indiana Jones. I suspect you have many odd talents Barbie.
11-18 19:23
Barbie Dahl:
😝
11-18 19:23
Mike in DC:
Very cool, Barbie!
11-18 19:23
hounder:
cool bd
11-18 19:23
Rush:
Nice scene transition!
11-18 19:23
Nothere:
Tommy you deal with actual murders do you really need to go to the pictures for more? I’m starting to think he has a complex.
11-18 19:23
Rush:
Yes, NT1
11-18 19:24
Godwinshelley:
Nice Barbie – I had a few lessons – got my whip from Western Stage Props in Las Vegas – very helpful and good for beginner whips
11-18 19:25
Rush:
11-18 19:25
Mike in DC:
“many little animals present”
11-18 19:25
Nothere:
But how many times have you whipped yourself?
11-18 19:25
Rush:
Yes, Mike…
11-18 19:25
Godwinshelley:
Long sleeves, eye protection and a hat while learning because it’s all too often
11-18 19:26
Nothere:
Well considering how often Chan’s kids break in places it was only a matter of time.
11-18 19:26
Rush:
Flashback…
11-18 19:26
Rush:
True.
Another flashback…
11-18 19:26
Barbie Dahl:
Whenever I do a whip workshop, NT, I always tell them they are going to hit themselves a lot when practicing and probably hurt themselves more by accident than they will hurt others on purpose.😝
11-18 19:27
Nothere:
It;s o.k. but to have a flashback in a flashback would be impressive.
This I believe Barbie.
11-18 19:28
Barbie Dahl:
De I’m jackets are good protection. Yes, GS, eye protection, too,and, for some, ear plugs.
*DENIM jackets
11-18 19:28
hounder:
lol. kinda like using nunchukas bd. same thing applies.
11-18 19:28
Rush:
11-18 19:28
tenman:
I found some humor a bonfire party a couple years ago; several of the blowhard self-styled alpha males from work (20-somethings) ended up with bloody gashes and welts on their arms trying to master the host’s bullwhip, fancying themselves cowboys. they were a bit more tolerable and less puffed-up after that.
11-18 19:28
Nothere:
He’ll get your money. I’ll be the judge of that.

My mom got me a whip at the circus when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to not take out an eye or cut off an ear.
11-18 19:30
Godwinshelley:
There was one of Apana’s whips at the museum at the Honolulu Police Dept
11-18 19:30

Did everyone here train with a whip?
11-18 19:31
hounder:
neat gs
11-18 19:31
Barbie Dahl:
Practicing new cracks and combos is the most dangerous. I once had a thong crawl up my back and over my head. The knot in the cracker wound up hitting me on my lower eyelid. Thankfully only resulted in a bruise
11-18 19:32
hounder:
oh that was ouch and lucky bd

Rush:
11-18 19:33
Nothere:
Remember don’t look suspicious.
11-18 19:34
Barbie Dahl:
I like to use tree leaves. Helps with targeting. You pick a leaf between other leaves, try not to hit them and try not to cut the target leaf. Also, wall switches, turn them on and off.
11-18 19:34
Matt:
11-18 19:34

You are more advanced than me.
11-18 19:34

11-18 19:37

Curious does Charlie get paid ot for all this voulentering to work for other departments?
11-18 19:37
Barbie Dahl:
I used to go out to the local parks with some of my kinky friends to do practice sessions. In YC it doesn’t really get anyone to bat an eye
*In NYC

Barbie Dahl:
Once, in Prospect Park, I stopped while to female Equestrian cops passed by but they stopped and told me to crack my 8foot bull at the horses. They didn’t e en flick an war, well trained not to startle from gunshots.
11-18 19:39
Godwinshelley:
When I think of non-foxfur coats in Chan films, this is the coat that comes to mind first

I used to work in downtown Baltimore. Once there were all these emergency vehicles and sirens accompanying a flatbed truck with a downed police horse that had been shot. They were rushing it to medical care.
11-18 19:42
Rush:
Sad.
11-18 19:42
Barbie Dahl:
I used to perform every year in the NYC Pride March, walked with my organization. Cracking an 8 foot bullwhip in 6 inch heels. I’d do a combo or two, tell everyone not to try the next trick at home then use the whip to jump rope to the next block.😂
11-18 19:42
hounder:

11-18 19:42
