The Shadow (film): Difference between revisions

* [[ChekovChekhov's Gun]]: When Ying Ko was first shown the ability to cloud men's minds - one of The Shadow's trademark abilities - it was used to hypnotize people into believing there was no temple. Once the Tulku cleared Ying Ko's mind, he was able to see the temple for all its glory. During the pursuit of Shiwan Khan, Lamont and Moe find themselves at an apparent dead end at a vacant lot; Lamont suspects something, and learns from Margo Lane that the lot was previous the site of the Hotel Monolith. The last record of it was its sale to a Far-Eastern buyer, and no one knows when it was torn down or ''who'' tore it down. Lamont speculates that the Monolith is still there, and confirms his suspicions by using his powers to bypass Shiwan Khan's ability and see it for himself, then asking a random passer what that building was, with the man dismissing him as a lunatic. Finally, when the Shadow wounds Khan, his ability wanes and causes the Hotel to become visible in the public eye.
