No, time of filming was closer to 1890's than to 1990's.
Is it The Maltese Falcon ?

[Мастер]

No, time of filming was closer to 1890's than to 1990's.

Yes, correct. But only most of the 1890s, relative to most of the 1990s. For example, the time of filming was closer to 1990 than it was to 1890. However, it was closer to 1892 than it was to 1992.

Is it The Maltese Falcon ?

Why yes, it is! Sam Spade paid his taxi fare on Bush street, above the Stockton tunnel.

FILMED in the 1890's?

Filmed at a time that is closer to most of the 1890s than it is to most of the 1990s.

So it could have been filmed in 1942?

Or 1941

Is Bogart in it?

[Мастер]

Is Bogart in it?

Yes, Humphrey Bogart is in the film that g-one has already correctly identified.

I wasn't sure if Llance was still guessing, so I joined in. On re-reading it I see he was discussing the arithmetic.

[Lance]

I was kind of guessing, but I hadn't noticed it was solved either.

[g-one]

Carrying on with the black & white theme (well, mostly). More recent than the last challenge and with a scene filmed here.

Something gangersty?

[Мастер]

Something gangersty?

I wasn't thinking of Bonnie and Clyde before, but I am now.

[g-one]

Some hoodlums but no real gangsters.

[g-one]

I'll amend that a bit as there is gang involvement, but not in the traditional 'gangster' manner.
It's set in the late '70's/early '80s.

[Heid the Ba]

The Outsiders? Which is set earlier and might be in colour, but it's all I've got.

[g-one]

No, not The Outsiders.
Dennis Hopper has a role in it.

[tubeswell]

Did Isabella Rossellini wear a blue dress in it?

[Heid the Ba]

If it was black and white she'd wear grey surely?

Also, titting arse. After thinking, "but Dennis Hopper is in The Outsiders", and a swift trip to teh Googlez, may I amend my guess to "Rumble Fish"? I confused the two films since Coppola made them back to back, and I am A Idiot.

[g-one]

Correct. Rumble Fish.
All black & white except the shot of the fish. Tom Waits also has a role.
You have the ba'.

[Heid the Ba]

Staying in Oklahoma, this now disused gas station appears in which road movie? Oklahoma stands in for a number of western and southern states, because if you are from Hollywood they are all the same, big, rectangular and arid.

[Arneb]

And Trumpy.

[Heid the Ba]

The states could be, but one star has never mentioned politics as far as I am aware and the other is a lefty treehugger.

[Lianachan]

Is it Big Nosed Mentalist and his Very Tall and Very Not Gay Brother Go On A Trip?

[Heid the Ba]

I think the "not" is misplaced, but yes that is the one. Or Rain Man as it was known in the US.

[Lianachan]

It's confusing when films have different titles in different places.

Next up.
