The Shadow
Movie Quote Quiz

Shiwan Khan: In three days, the entire world will hear my roar, and willingly fall subject to the lost empire of Shan Kahn. That is a lovely tie, by the way. May I ask where you acquire it?
Lamont Cranston: Brooks Brothers.
Shiwan Khan: Is that mid-town?
Lamont Cranston: 45th and Madison. You are a barbarian.
Shiwan Khan: Thank you. We both are.

The Shadow: The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.

Lamont Cranston: Oh, that knife.
Shiwan Khan: Recognize it? I took it from the Tulku. No, no, no. I correct myself. I took it out of the Tulku after I ran it through his heart. When will you learn to listen to your instincts?
Lamont Cranston: Instincts? I'll show you my instincts.
[Lamont grabs the Phurba and tries to kill Khan but the Phurba stops him.]
Shiwan Khan: Never did master the Phurba did you? Still expect it to respond to brute force.

Dr. Roy Tam: I guess you would call it an implosive-explosive sub-molecular device.
Lamont Cranston: Or an Atomic Bomb.
Dr. Roy Tam: Hey, that's catchy.

The Shadow: I'll be there... around every corner... in every empty room... as inevitable as your guilty conscience.

Margo Lane: Oh, God I dreamed.
Lamont Cranston: So did I. What did you dream?
Margo Lane: I was lying naked on a beach in the South Seas. The tide was coming up to my toes. The sun was beating down. My skin hot and cool at the same time. It was wonderful. What was yours?
Lamont Cranston: I dreamed I tore all the skin off my face and was somebody else underneath.
Margo Lane: You have problems.
Lamont Cranston: I'm aware of that.

Other mistake: When Lamont walks into the alley to avoid being followed by one of Khan's warriors, he makes himself invisible, and his shadow vanishes as well. It's well noted at the beginning of the film that his shadow is always visible even if he isn't. Therefore, his shadow should still be seen on the ground and give him away.

Answer: He had never gone up against someone like him. A man who not only knew how to harness his abilities, but had mastered them as well, like young Luke going up against Vader. He finally found the strength and the courage to fight and defeat him.
