The Shadow Knows...

We all have those movies we loved when we were younger, but when you look at them as an adult they don't really stand the test of time. 

For every Goonies, Karate Kid, and Back to the Future I enjoyed watching, there is also a Bio-dome, 3 Ninjas, and Time Cop on my list.  

Another movie I really enjoyed a lot when I was younger was Dick Tracy.  I loved the star power in that film and the bright and bold colors.  

Sadly much like Karate Kid being the timeless classic and 3 Ninjas not, I can group together some pulp hero movies in the early 90s I was obsessed with.  

Well for every Dick Tracy, there exists a movie like The Shadow. 

Starring Alec Baldwin and based on the pulp comic series The Shadow, this film features less than good CGI effects and Baldwin's over the top acting.
One of the key lines and premise of the Shadow is 
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?"

Below you will find my cards of Cutch that feature him with shadows

Do you remember watching The Shadow film?

Do you have a favorite movie that followed the pulp comic craze of the early 90s (Rocketeer, Dick Tracy, The Shadow, The Phantom, etc)?

Are there any unique images you see on the shadows on these cards, much like a "Rorschach test" involving shadows?
