12-02 19:22
tenman:
Sad when even Tommy thinks BB is an idiot lol
12-02 19:23

Tie a belt around it!
12-02 19:23
Matt:
Lt Mike (hic)!
12-02 19:23
Rush:
Lt. Mike.
As the drunk.
12-02 19:24
Rush:
The best way to hide is to draw a lot of attention!
12-02 19:24
Barbie Dahl:
Hide in plain sight… Camouflage
12-02 19:24
Rush:
Yes!
12-02 19:26
Barbie Dahl:
Then there is also the Dazzle form of Camouflage that makes rangefinder hard, as opposed to hiding
*RANGEFINDING
12-02 19:26
Rush:
CC smokes cigarettes by this time, it seems.
Yes, BD!
12-02 19:26

12-02 19:27
Rush:

Yes, he’s good but not as “well practiced” as Foster Brooks.😂🤣
12-02 19:28
Rush:
SPLASH!!!!!
12-02 19:29
Rush:
Fingerprints!
12-02 19:31
Rush:
True statement by CC.
“So much for so much.”
12-02 19:31
Godwinshelley:
I have a friend who is an extra in an upcoming film “Love Language” – he was playing a guest at a wedding and they asked him to walk across the room like he had 5-6 drinks. He said “I’ve been practicing all my life!”
12-02 19:31
Rush:
FUNNY, GS!
12-02 19:32

Very true!
12-02 19:38
Louise:
I start away from mines: creepy

12-02 20:00
Rush:
Lt. Mike goes it alone in the mine….
12-02 20:01
Rush:
Smugglers….
“No tenemos mucho tiempo!”
12-02 20:02
Rush:
Turn off the flashlight, Mike!
Uh-oh!
12-02 20:03
Rush:
Pretty good mine sets.
CLUNK!!!
12-02 20:04
Barbie Dahl:
I knew that door barging mine manager was up to no good!
12-02 20:04
Rush:
I thought they were after GOLD!!!
12-02 20:05
Rush:
Is shooting in a cave a good idea?
12-02 20:06
Louise:
That’s a lot of shootin’
12-02 20:07
Rush:
Probably the most shots fired in a Chan movie!
12-02 20:08
Rush:
Not a nice lady!
12-02 20:09
Rush:
This is possibly taking place near Tucson, AZ, as we are evidently close to the border.
12-02 20:09
Barbie Dahl:
Not nice, like Kathleen Freeman, the Penguin in the Blues Brothers🐧🐧🐧🐧
12-02 20:10
Rush:
I don’t recall, BD…
It’s been a while!
12-02 20:10
