Specifically, the Shadow in this movie will be a "knight" wielding the Arondignt sword from that game. #SonicNews

neutral · AI labelView post →And of course we're using "pulp" as a general term here; Dick Tracy and The Phantom are comic strip characters, The Shadow is arguably a radio character, and The Rocketeer is a 1980s comic book character. In fact, 90s movie wise, I think the only actual pulp characters were Zorro and The Saint

neutral · AI labelView post →THE SHADOW (1994) is a shockingly WONDERFUL film...pure Hollywood popcorn cinema! It looks just GREAT and Russell Mulcahy does a great job of combining different technologies to great effect to bring the film to life, while his murderers row cast of great character actors DEVOUR a great script!

positive · AI labelView post →Baboons used to be horror stars, and not just the cameo in The Fly. During the heyday of Day of the [Blank] style animal horror, there was In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro, which hypes so much in the trailer you’re not sure what there’s going to be left in the movie.
