Isn't it the idea for these to be hard to guess ?

Yes, but if you make it too hard it's not fun anymore.
You just gotta find the line between too easy and completely impossible.

If you post a small screenshot of Ti Lung holding a sword, nobody will ever find what movie it comes from.

+ Please use a movie that most members are likely to have seen.

I still don't know how Tom guessed it

I managed to read two names in the poster that you used as last clue.
Then it took me 1 hour to find a movie that contained those two names, and 1 more hour to find a poster in which the chinese characters would match the ones on your screenshot.

I wouldn't call that easy.

Yeah, I guess I just wasn't sure at first what level to pitch this at. I mean, when I put up the shot from Iron Monkey you got it immediately so I thought I should make it tough. Even I haven't seen Mad Sword - yet. This film is better known and has famous HK stars in it. That's all I'm saying for now...

Ha-Ha! I thought maybe you recognised the poster? Anyhow I'm impressed. 8)

Damn Tom you'd make a far out detective.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 05 Jan 2006, 15:47

OK. Here's Cap #2:

Angel ?

(it sure looks like a "Girls w/ guns" movie)

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 05 Jan 2006, 15:51

Is that Leung Kar-yan?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jan 2006, 01:09

Not ANGEL.

You want me to answer that, LD, or is it a rhetorical question?

If you want an answer then... No, it's not him.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 06 Jan 2006, 01:17

LOL, why would it be a rhetorical question? I meant it.

Is it a spoiler?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jan 2006, 02:16

No, but I wasn't sure if 'we' were allowed to ask for clues until the third cap or something? I thought maybe you were thinking out loud so to speak. It's not a problem. Ask away.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 06 Jan 2006, 02:37

He he he! Okay.

Sooo... is the next clue coming?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 06 Jan 2006, 16:55

Winners & Sinners? Hell I dont know...

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:06

Hmmm Forbidden City Cop?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:15

Nope...

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:25

Shanghai Shanghai!?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:44

We have a winner folks!!

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:47

Congratulations Yi !

Shanghai Shanghai...never heard of this one...

*Searching*

Anita Mui, Sammo, Yuen Biao.... Sold !

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 06 Jan 2006, 17:56

Holy shit I actually won

Havent even seen the movie, but recognised Yuen Biao, and the clothes told me which era it was (winners and sinners isnt that era, but havent seen that either so I thought maybe YB just had a bad dress sense in that one...

), so kinda a lucky guess

Ok... I'll post one in a minute...

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 06 Jan 2006, 18:04

Ok... good luck...

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 06 Jan 2006, 18:11
