A “pollution-packer”!
06-24 18:46
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
We won’t worry about the air pollution. This is HISTORY
06-24 18:46
Rush:
Come on, baby…
06-24 18:47
Matt:
I think I’ll wait for the next flight
06-24 18:47
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
Those engines would not inspire confidence were I the pilot
06-24 18:47
Rush:
06-24 18:47
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
Thinking the 737 MAX is seeming pretty solid, actually…
06-24 18:47

Rush:
M/R:
Scared the bird off!

I’m sure it can get in the air…but can it STAY there????
06-24 18:50
Rush:
The TR-5…
06-24 18:50
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
power dive!
06-24 18:50
Rush:
That last shot reminded me of the plane being tested in “Olympics.”
06-24 18:51
Ziah:
That was fascinating to watch but there’s no way I’d want to fly in one of them!
Massive respect to the pilot.
06-24 18:52

06-24 18:53
Rush:
I had looked for something about American Airlines transcontinental flights in 1940, and there is something, but it is too long, so, I got something about New Yiork in 1940…
06-24 18:54
Rush:
Agreed, M/R!

Another fatality.
06-24 19:23
Rich in Maine:

06-24 19:23

Could it be tetra…
06-24 19:23
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
Not Bowanite unless the canary was smoking a cigarette
06-24 19:24
Ziah:
Rush, isn’t it quite similar to the plot of one of the Mr Wong pictures too?
06-24 19:24

I picture the Chan kid’s science projects being “Identifying poisons” or “splatter designs from murder”
06-24 19:24

06-24 19:25
Phil:
Not as many murders back then.
06-24 19:25

06-24 19:39
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
She is the “Marianne” to the other “Ginger”
06-24 19:40
Nothere:
For a guy on a policemans salary Chan stays in many fancy hotels. I’d suggest something but Egypt shows he gets paid by banks for private jobbs.
06-24 19:40

“Boy, oh boy….”
06-24 19:55

With all this talk of gats perhaps we shouldd check if the dice are loaded?

Teeny moustache creep
06-24 20:00
Phil:
I’ll bet we know what comes next…
06-24 20:00
Rush:
An airplane manufacurer that was written on that paper.
06-24 20:01
Nothere:
Odd camera angle.
06-24 20:01
Phil:
That was an actual airplane company.
06-24 20:01
Rush:
Yes, Phil.
06-24 20:02
Nothere:
An airplane manufacturer on the paper of airplane maker? Not important.
06-24 20:02
Rush:
It eventualluy merged with Consolodaded Arcraft and become “Convair.”
06-24 20:02
Phil:
Boom boom out go the lights.
06-24 20:02
Rush:
It was based in San Diego, and my dad worked there for several years in the ’50s.

06-24 20:06
Rush:
Yes, Mike.
06-24 20:07
Phil:
Kane Richmond
06-24 20:07
Nothere:
You are corgially invited to a gathering of suspects where killer will be forced to act. Byo blletproof vest.
06-24 20:07
Rush:
So much would be “revised” that it would be virtually unrecognizable as a “Chan” film!
06-24 20:07
Rich in Maine:
and parachutes please!
06-24 20:07
Louise:
great plane
06-24 20:07

06-24 20:07
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
Mr. Elliott does not answer ring of telephone because he is involved with attractive friend perhaps?

That was the subject of one of our extras tonight.
06-24 20:08
Nothere:
Thin, no wife, at least two scenes where he beats someone up.

A contemporary flight demonstration.
06-24 20:08
Phil:
A total guess but it looks like a Boeing
06-24 20:08
Nothere:
Thats what he said.
06-24 20:09
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
True, Rush. And actually, you’d probably want to keep the antagonistic tone of some of the anti-Chinese terms….
06-24 20:09
Rush:
Lockheed 12A Electra Junior
06-24 20:09

Why does she have a UFO on her head?
06-24 20:10
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
How could someone not recognize a former spouse?
06-24 20:10
Rush:
Google can be a great help!
06-24 20:11
Nothere:
Slept in seprate bedrooms?
06-24 20:11
Phil:
Yeah, I know about Google. But how you made the connection between a CC movie and a particular airplane is still impressive.
06-24 20:12
Rush:
Spoke too soon, Jimmy!
06-24 20:12
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
VERY spacious aircraft in Chan movies. We were in a B-17 once. They were SMALL. You had to be brave just get into the thing, much less go fight in it.
06-24 20:12
tenman:
I didn’t recognize my ex – at first – as he had gained so very much weight in 30 years as to look unfamiliar.
06-24 20:12
Rich in Maine:

06-24 20:12
Rush:

06-24 20:13
Mike n Rach+ in Ann Arbor:
Please be sure your tray tables are in the upright and locked position
06-24 20:13
Rush:
When it dives, the wings would be under a lot of stress!
06-24 20:13
Phil:
That’s my usual demeanor when flying.
06-24 20:13
tenman:
Of sorts, yes. the place we used to work

Storm the cockpit.
06-24 20:15
Rush:
Glendale or Burbank Airport.
06-24 20:16
Nothere:
Lousy plan anyway. How was he going to explain everyone on the plane dead but him?
06-24 20:17
Rush:
He didn’t plan on being aboard whn the plane flew…like Jimmy and the others.
06-24 20:17
tenman:
The Butler done it!
06-24 20:17
Nothere:
So much for Oxford.Is nothing sacred?
06-24 20:17
Rush:
Give him the works!
06-24 20:17
Phil:
NT he was going to say he could hold his breath a really long time.
06-24 20:18
Phil:
It’s that moustache. It totally throws everyone off.
06-24 20:18
Rush:
Nice closeup here.

Nah. He knows Dr. Creame
