Let's start off wih a blooper from
fellow Chan in Florida . . . Mr. Bill:
When Charlie delivers the line "Jim Eberhart, maniac killer
now in this room” in "Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise" he is facing the camera. In the "Trailer", he is saying this with
a side view of the camera. HOWEVER, if you listen closely, the line in the trailer IS NOT just another view of the same line!
It is delivered with less emphasis in the "Trailer" indicating an entirely different take of film footage!
Good catch, Bill!
