    Looks like a mix of round and rocket …

      That’s somewhat close …

    Highend suppository :D

      Ha ha ha ha :) but I am afraid, no, not at all ;)

    Must be from an Matrix prequel … ya know, the bug the agents put into Neo´s stomach xD remeber that nasty little thing? http://content6.flixster.com/question/39/73/00/3973008_std.jpg

      That association I didn’t have, and I do like it. Nevertheless it’s completely off the mark ;)

    Hmmmm …a round you can shoot outta space?

    • zephyrin_xirdal Wednesday, 17th October 2012 at 15:17

      It’s a projectile to be fired by a weapon, indeed. I guess you could shoot it in outer space, too, but outer space is no issue at all within the plot of the movie in question. Here is a hint: We already had the hero of the movie in an earlier instance of zeph’s pop culture quiz …

    I see … no, sorry, the light bulb moment didn’t come yet. Can I please have a better hint? Thx!

    • zephyrin_xirdal Wednesday, 17th October 2012 at 16:30

      Well, what for are weapons usually used in black and white movies? And the people of which profession are interested in this?

  • Alhambra Wednesday, 17th October 2012 at 16:36

    Er … 1# to kill people, 2# murderers. A Peter Lorre movie???

    • zephyrin_xirdal Wednesday, 17th October 2012 at 16:38

      #1, yes, to commit murder, #2, I’d say detectives are interested in murder. But no, it’s not a Peter Lorre movie.

    … more hints? Thx :-)

  • Gutterflower Sunday, 21st October 2012 at 21:11

    … just to please me … it is – of course – flash gordon! Who or what else?! Best cleverness ever :ooo)

    • zephyrin_xirdal Monday, 22nd October 2012 at 17:03

      To be honest, I had the very same association when I saw the thing first. It definitely looks like the spaceships from the Flash Gordon comic strips and the old serials with Larry ‘Buster’ Crabbe. But the screencap is not from Flash Gordon. As time has progressed, here is a definitive hint: It’s from a Charlie Chan movie.

  • Alhambra Tuesday, 23rd October 2012 at 12:33

    ‘City in Darkness’ or ‘… at the Opera’?

    • zephyrin_xirdal Thursday, 25th October 2012 at 16:38

      I am sorry, but no. It’s from ‘Charlie Chan in London’ (Forde 1934)—I updated the post with the solution and more ;)
