Joe Dante on “The Lady from Shanghai”

Trailer 840 of 893
A shell of what may have been a great film. What remains of Orson Welles' fourth Hollywood effort is dazzlingly inventive and narratively jumbled, due to Columbia prexy Harry Cohn cutting Welles' version by nearly an hour. Still considered a key film noir, Dave Kehr once called it "the weirdest great film ever made". The last few cards of most surviving versions of this trailer are replaced with a Columbia logo.

Is that Leslie Nielsen's voice on the trailer? Which makes me think it's kind of surprising no one ever did a Naked Gun type take off on these vigilante movies. Maybe it's too narrow a genre for that kind of satire, but Nielsen rampaging through the streets, killing off muggers played by Lloyd Bridges, Peter Graves and Robert Stack, while being tracked by hardnose cop William Shatner, might have been pretty good.

One of my absolute favorite Charles Bronson films alongside Once Upon A Time in the West, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, 10 To Midnight and The Mechanic.
