*Guess the Movie Title*

LimpingFish · Wed 26/10/2022 23:44:51

Well, it's Jackie Chan...recent Jackie Chan. I could just look it up, but instead I'll try and recall some recent JC roles, from movies that I haven't watched, purely off the top of my head.

...

I'm thinking something with..."Tiger" in the title. I remember Tsui Hark directing something recently, which may have been called Tiger Mountain, but I don't think Jackie Chan was in it. Or was he? It looks like it's set during WWII, perhaps the Sino-Japanese conflict, and JC has been in some movies that fit that description.

Damn, now I have to know...

EDIT: Argh...I was actually on the right track! I haven't seen it, but I know of it.

It is Jackie Chan!

KyriakosCH · Thu 27/10/2022 05:29:01

I still don't know the movie, and don't want to just use google

Ponch · Thu 27/10/2022 11:39:13

It definitely has Tiger in the title.

KyriakosCH · Thu 27/10/2022 17:25:20

Is it "Tiger"?

Ponch · Thu 27/10/2022 22:48:52

Tiger is partially correct.

KyriakosCH · Fri 28/10/2022 05:46:33

Well, I googled it, just to declare open floor and move things along

It is called "Railroad Tigers". A missed opportunity to use the name of that old coin-op, Tiger Road.

Google wins. Your turn.

KyriakosCH · Fri 28/10/2022 22:56:27

Thank you, Ponch, but I don't have anything currently... Open floor (if you feel like it, of course you could post a new one

)

Eh, since no one is posting anything, here is one:

You can tell it's high quality.

Mostly correct. There's nothing more terrifying than a shark in a house

The actual title is "House Shark". Your turn!

Watched the preview and looked for stills from the film. Do you actually see the shark in the movie? Or is it just a random fin here and there?

Hope no-one minds me jumping in here.

What film is this from?

KyriakosCH · Sat 17/12/2022 20:32:06

Is it from the movie where the father asks the girl to count to 10 or something, and the boy to present all prime numbers counting backwards from 100?

Yep. She gets an easy question, but he has to count backwards from 100, in 7s. Poor boy.

But what is the name of the film?

KyriakosCH · Sun 18/12/2022 02:44:49

Eh, that is very hard to recall

(I did remember the doctor's office doll, and the doctor father)
I know it has the protagonist posing as a mannequin in the opening scene, and that the movie isn't really interesting after that scene and the counting memory ^^
Some 80s horror...

Frodo · Sun 18/12/2022 05:24:57

Isn't interestng...?

It's a brilliant film.

EDIT: I'll post another screenshot this evening.

KyriakosCH · Sun 18/12/2022 14:28:33

Iirc it becomes somewhat of a standard slasher after that, which is why I personally got let down (then again, the beginning did get me intrigued, so it was a matter of expectations!)
