> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zeldar \* > \*\ ***MonkeyMensch** , you’re the second one now to try Telefon, so I’m going to go ahead and reveal my movie. _The Mechanic_ has Bronson teaching tricks of the assassin trade to young Jan Michael Vincent. At some point Bronson goes to a great deal of trouble with photographs and floor plans to decide the way to off this old dude across the street is to use some acid wrapped in bubble gum on the burner of his gas stove, as well as some knockout drops in his tea to get the room full of gas fumes. Then with a scoped rifle and a book with an incendiary device in the bookshelf, Bronson shoots a silenced bullet into the book causing the apartment to blow up and look to investigators as an accident. > > Now, was that Telefon or The Mechanic? Whichever, this clue is dead now. 🙂 \*\* Ah, the dangers of showing up late to the game… I never saw _Telefon_ but I did see _The Mechanic_. Shame on me.

I’ve not seen “In Country” nor “Hudson Hawk”. I don’t know if either of these fit the clue, but neither is the movie I had in mind. I’ll go ahead and reveal my Hangers Hangers HB\_2 “Everything I needed to know about playing softball, I learned from Dean Cain” _Hint_ He gets a phone number from the catcher after hitting a home run. _Another Hint_ Dean Cain plays a gay character. **The Broken Hearts Club** HB\_3 “Everything I needed to know about camping, I learned from James Purefoy” _Hint_ “I know this pub that serves real Guinness.” **Bedrooms & Hallways** ---

Thanks, **Homebrew** , we’d be here all week if I had to go to IMDB and try everything on those lists. 🙂 I have seen some recent movies, just not as many as from years ago. So we’ll likely not overlap as much as other players. But that’s a good thing, I think. More! ---

MM\_4 = What Dreams May Come? Hangers: HF\_11: “Everything I needed to know about the devil’s playthings, I learned from Devon Sawa.” \*Hint - “Lazy”. HF\_12: “Everything I needed to know about about running from cats, I learned from Michael J. Fox.” Themed/Connected: HF\_14: “Everything I needed to know about standing tall, I learned from John Lithgow.” HF\_15: “Everything I needed to know about babysitting kids, I learned from Billy Crystal.” HF\_16: “Everything I need to know about flying, I learned from Tim Allen.” Hint: You never see the actors in these movies, you only hear their voices.

Actual movie from not all that long ago, 90’s I think. Did you see the hint? HB\_7 was this the thing with Johnny Depp as a Gypsy? The Man Who Cried (or something)? ---
