Poor Bastards of Cinema: The Shadow (Part 2)

 Another Month and another Poor Bastard.

We're back to The Shadow and one more death.

The bad guy goes to the top of the Empire State Building with his Scientist (Ian McKellen!!!) to plan out his actions.

While there, a Sailor (famous That Guy Actor Michael Fischler) makes fun of him for 'wearing a dress.'

This won't end well.
He commands the Sailor to jump to his death.

Does he also command everyone to not hear him say this?
He manages to get over the fence while nobody can seem to/try to stop him.

On the plus side, what a view!
He jumps to his death and people freak out.

Oddly, the Film uses his forced suicide as a transition to the next Scene.

Wow.
In summary, a random Sailor is a jerk, so he dies.  Ouch.

The moral: be nice to strangers, since you never know which one is a powerful telepath!  Be better.


Next up, a Watchman at a random Building faces death.  Sure- why not?
