This movie was so underrated. The back story and the spiritualism was so cool.
I have been a true fan of the Radio Show since I was a kid and I have to say Alec Baldwin did an incredible job giving life to Lamont Cranston and The Shadow...
I agree. my mother had the program on tape cassette for me.
I’ve been a fan of the shadow since the 80s comics from Howard Chaykin. Also read the 70s Denny o Neal run from DC. I’ve been recently getting into the radio show.
Are the shows available on some format?
This is my favorite backstory for this character: a man who has to repent for his wickedness, who hunts lesser evils then himself, and only his shadow can be seen. Now, that's an inspired, brave reworking of an already great character.
He hunts greater evils than himself.
He's Green Arrow but more fucked up or Endeavor
"Shoot through him"
I forgot how Ying Ko was so badass😂
NO SHIT! Cold blooded.
I know Batman was inspired by the Shadow but watching this over as an adult really makes you realize the similarities. Especially with this and the Nolan films.
I read somewhere once that the first Batman story, in Detective Comics 27, was essentially plagiarized from one of the Shadow novels.
@@odysseusrex5908 yeah someone did the art side-by-side and basically they erased the brim of the fedora, re-worked the top of the hat where that dip is in the middle to make it more like ears and cut out scallops out of the trench coat flapping in the wind to make it more like a bat's cape, it was pretty damning.
Such a terrific movie, I don't understand why it didn't do well. I greatly would have enjoyed seeing more in a series.
It was because of the timing. This movie came out in the same year as "The Lion King", "Forrest Gump", "True Lies" and "The Shawshank Redemption".
There are moments that make it clear the filmmakers didn’t take it seriously enough. I read a comment from a studio executive basically saying “Well it’s a comic book”. They think that means it’s just for kids. I’ve heard the term pulp associated with The Shadow before. That mindset results in cheesy dialogue and ridiculous characters like Tim Curry’s. Had it been more grounded like Batman Begins the result would’ve been groundbreaking for its time.
Beacuse the movie starts very well but the middle and the end are not so good, we should have seen more action and more shadow also the shadow is cautious and here makes amateur mistakes several times, the actors, were fine, the soundtrack was amazing but the screenplay? Could have been better, had the makings of a masterpiece but they failed to make it happen, absolute shame i really like the movie but could had been sooo much better
Firstly, as has been mentioned, it came out in the same year as a great many other films. Second, it came out at a time when superhero films were not known for being good. Third, it’s…really not that good. The form of a good film is there, but they flubbed too much of the important stuff for it to succeed.
This can do so well today with the MCU falling so hard.
The writing and the spiritual concepts would be right at home today.
The clouded mind sees nothing.
- Pretty much sums up our current civilization.
I bought this on Amazon Prime recently. An underrated gem!
James Hong and Al Leong in the same scene? Nice.
great editing! love how you cut at the end of the scene
Freaking criminally underrated! Such terrific movie should be given more recognition and justice it deserves. The Shadow，better known as Lamont Cranston, was once a patriot who fought for his country, but deemed expendable like any other ordinary soldiers. Unwilling to resort to his faith being strung by his nation as a puppet, he decided to forge his own destiny, and that path led him to a lavishly dark and evil life he enjoyed most, by killing people and running his opium/drug empire in the abandoned territories of the East, thus self proclaimed himself as the de facto ruler of his kingdom (but deep down , there's still good left in him, he only turned evil because he despises the disgusting human nature, which hypocrisy and lies are cruel, pretending to be the brutal killer happy warlord to cover his inner hatred, confusion, sadness and extreme anguish within his poor soul). The High Monk - Reverend Tulku saw bits of light left in Cranston, and he was fortunately kidnapped and forced back into the road to redemption. In order to redeem his true soul, he suppresses his underlying evil and controls it, using it against greater evil for the good of mankind; thus, becoming his alter ego known sinisterly as The Shadow who strikes great fear in the hearts of crime and evil! The Shadow was no extremely, extraordinarily powerful hero/antihero, nor was he a terrifically modern one so to speak; but, characters, story, and settings like this one is simply one of th e best and in my vocabulary, easily tops most sky high budgeted superhero blockbusters we have nowadays. I personally prefer this kind of superhero genre and classic, without much exaggerating effects and powers, although The Shadow was no Superman, but Darkly and Sinisterly, he fights crime and evil with his own respective methods and ways, which is already enough to prove and justify the coolness and greater power one could have and possibly, achieve! Love the Shadow and other similarly related heroes (to all you heroes of such type out there! You're not alone, I'll always support you!)
3:30 those words hit rught at home now
Those guys @1:14... I wonder if there was some stuff that wound up on the cutting room floor giving them some backstory. They kind of stick out, makes me wonder if this was originally a larger scene, where we really see just how powerful and depraved Cranston is, with the callous murder of his only friend being the punchline.
Absolutely love this movie!!!! Seriously underrated.
I had a chance to hold the "Hero" prop dagger, it was damn cool. They had three, a metal one for dialogue and general slow scenes (That's the one I held), a rubber one for action, and of course the CG one for when it came alive.
That scene scarred me as a kid, my dad would constantly put it on and I would freak out lolz my mom has one of those daggers on her bookshelf now (no doubt it's a replica) still nuts though 🤣
That knife scene scared the SHIT out of me as a kid, and somehow my mom ended up with one 😭 too funny
Haha, Alec Baldwin's pretty much Jabba the Hutt in this.
Not Yet
This guy is much closer to the ancient mongols than all the "heroic" portrayals.
My Favourite movie The shadow Back in 90s early Love dis movie It's best Action All time Best Hero ♥️
A guilty pleasure, the other being "Sheena" with Tanya Roberts. Not quite home runs story-wise but tons of fun to watch.
I'd love to know how he went from a GI to a drug kingpin so fast.
Money.
How long was World War 1? We don't know how long it took him to take over the game. But, he took it over!
@@QoQabai658 America entered the war in 1917 and the war ended on November 11th 1918. I believe the beginning says that it's 1920. So in two years he became a drug kingpin.
@@tremorsfan If you're ruthless, violent, and strategic enough that is 'very' doable.
@@tremorsfan There's a fan-written novelisation of the film you can find on the internet. After the war he studies at the Sorbonne and, with his degree attained, has all the requirements to inherit his trust fund. His father begrudgingly sends him the money. He spends a couple of years indulging in wine, women, and opium, then meets Kent Allard, a fellow American who is involved in drug smuggling. Cranston starts working with him, and follows the opium trail to its source in Tibet. He uses his fortune to muscle in on the scene, hiring mercenaries, and working his way to the top like that. Methinks the moral of the story is: money talks.
One of my guilty pleasures...😮
One of my favorite superhero movies, I watched on tv from 1999 to 2008. Alec Baldwin was great as The Shadow.
Because... the Shadow knows!
MWAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Good movie
The clouded mind
This is so so cool 😊👌
I love this movie
Ying Ko is my rolemodel!
I feel like Alec Baldwin could have been a very good Bruce Wayne/ Batman
Let's hope for a small price
I wouldn't do that It's a big warning.
The movie was so awesome when it came out but why oh why, didn't they shoot this entire scene in Mandarin??
I've always wondered what it was he said just after they shoot Wu and Li Peng.
@@odysseusrex5908 Apparently, he said "But too much like my father".
Real name?
Real name???
Not Lamont Cranston, I'm thinking.
Some say it's Kent Allard, but only he knows... May-be.
Lamont Cranston is his real name. That’s why he was shocked.
Was Ying ko speaking gibberish after he killed woo?
It's tibetan for something. I'm trying to find out myself
"But too much like my father"
@@01evolution01it's Tibetan? Or mandarin?
I'm not sure. If I had to make a guess, I would say Tibetan.
@@01evolution01 oh wait, were you guessing?
This movie deserved to become the franchise it promised to be, but people didn’t get its pulpy tone… just like DARKMAN, before it, had to settle with some lame straight-to-video sequels…
Fuck I love darkman so much ugh 😩
He was brave before
1:15 what joke does he make?
"A little too much like my father."
@@brandonp.6051 is it Tibetan?
lmao really cheesy and over the top, but this could be a great tv series on netflix under the right supervision
And what would you call all these garbage ass marvel/Star wars movies coming out today? "Really cheesy and over the top"? I'd call it what it is, a steaming pile of shit. This movie is a masterpiece compared to anything Disneys shat out in the past ten years 🤷🏻
