I just discovered an appearance by Sam Sloan in a 1984 Japanese movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=YzMNHdZMQls

The movie is Mahjong Horoki made in 1984.

He only says one line,

"Hey, play by the rules, will you."

They gave him that line because he actually said exactly that to one
of his opponents when auditioning for the movie and because he was the
best Mahjong player among the Americans who auditioned for the movie.

For those unfamilariar with Sloanese, this means that only one
American auditioned for the movie.

Not true, as usual.

Many Americans, Australians, British and others auditioned for this
fairly small role in this movie.

I think the fact that most of the others did not really know how to
play Mahjong helped me get the part, and the fact that I was teaching
some of the others how to play helped too.

This is where the line came from, "Hey, play by the rules." That it
what I actually said when I was showing somebody how to play, and they
wrote it into the script.

By the way, a casting director named Bill Dorsey in Tokyo recruited me
and others for the part. You can ask him.

What I find surprising is somebody in Russia uploaded this video clip
onto youtube. You can see the Russian subtitles. I am wondering why he
only picked two short scenes from the movie to upload, and how it
happened that one of them was the scene that I was in.

That's interesting Spam Splooge. I googled this alleged casting
director Bill Dorsey. He seems to be a figment of your imagination. In
fact, he appears as a character in a screenplay written by Sam Sloan

HARD TIMES IN TOKYO, JAPAN

By Samuel H. Sloan

[...]

ANY RESEMBLANCE OF THE EVENTS OR THE CHARACTERS IN THIS MOVIE TO ANY
PERSON, LIVING OR DEAD, IS PURELY COINCIDENTAL.


[...]

TONY: I imagine you've got pretty well settled down there. But I'd
like to help you out. You don't have to work for Mario. He's a real
slime, and I'm sure you know it by now. Of course, he'll introduce you
to a lot of broads. He's got more than the can handle himself. But,
remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You'll have to pay it
back in the long run. If you want, I'll give you a better job. I'll
introduce you to Bill Dorsey. He can get you in the movies. Make big
bucks.

SAM: Sounds good. I'm not getting ahead here.

TONY: Bill's my casting agent. I'll introduce you to him, sign you up
with him.

Poor Scram Slop. As you rapidly descend into dotage you're no longer
able to tell fact from fiction or remember which lies you told to
embellish which half truths. Pretty soon you'll be claiming a giant
invisible rabbit recruited you to play centerfield for the Mets. On
the bright side at your age pretty soon it'll only be the grim reaper
recruiting you. Remember, when you sit down to play chess with death,
don't use that upsidedown Damiano or whatever it is. Because to him a
draw's as good as a win.

Also the top line in the movie script says that it is fictional, it is
not fictional. Everything in the movie script really happened and
those are the real names of those people.

I wrote that it is fictional to avoid lawsuits.

In order to disprove evidence tending to show that he is a liar, Spam
Sloon claims that he made up the evidence from whole cloth based on
his willingness to say whatever is convenient at the moment. Well
played.

I was disappointed. One, this was the worst acting I've seen (by
everyone, not just Sam) outside of an Ed Wood film, and two, I assumed
if Sam was in it, it was a porno flick.

No. It was a real first run movie shown in all the movie theaters in
Japan.

In the next scene in the movie, the star, the one who moves too slow,
loses a lot of money and does not have any money to pay because his
partner ducked out when they were losing, so we take him out in the
ally in back and beat him up. The guy who beats him up is the light-
haired guy who is arguing with him, who was a real former FBI agent.

The other clip is from a later scene in the movie. There they are
gambling for big money.



When one guy is losing so much money, he gets desperate, so be bets
both his house and his wife on a hand of mahjong. His wife is the
beautiful girl you see in the plaid dress waiting for the outcome. The
result is the man loses both his house and his wife. The winner of the
bet moves into the house and in the next scene is sleeping in bed with
the wife.

Later in the movie they have another big gambling game of mahjong and
this time the original owner of the house wins back both his house and
his wife too. So, now you see her back in bed with her original
husband.

SPOILER: The movie ends when the older man you see in the first clip
has a winning hand of mahjong and shouts "MAHJONG" but before he can
turn over his winning hand and show it, he drops dead. So the other
three players in the game split the money and abandon his dead body by
the road.

This movie was not successful at the box office but has become a cult
classic.

I understand it is among the top 100 mahjong movies of all time.

Yes, and #1 is "Charlie Chan Packs in the Pongs in Hong Kong" (1944)
starring Sidney Toler, with Sam in an uncredited stint as Mantan
Moreland's technical adviser on taxi-driving.

In the next scene Sam moves in with the couple, claiming that the
previous owner had left him the house in his will, the original of
which has since been destroyed. However Sam has a witness, a 97 year
old women suffering from dementia and sclerosis, who is willing to
swear on a stack of Chinese Korans that her since deceased husband
told her that his best friend's son in laws's nephew had witnessed the
previous owner signing the will leaving the house and all of his
possessions to Sam. The couple sues to evict him and there ensues a
tense court room sequence. Sam, appearing pro se, cross examines
himself and forces himself to admit that he himself had forged the
will. Sam is convicted of perjury and Judge Denny Chin (playing
himself) sentences Sam to 10 years hard labor. Like most new fish Sam
is treated horribly by the other inmates, climaxing in a brutal shower
bukkake gang rape. Sam's tragedy turns to triump though when he comes
second of two in the geriatric division of the prison wide memory
contest. He is finally accepted by the other prisoners and as he
adapts to prison life he realizes that he has fallen in love with one
of his attackers, a hardened lifer called Long Wang. As the films
final sequence fades to black Sam and Wang stare deeply into each
others eyes and Sam says "Me so horny," a line later plagiarized by
famed director Stanley Kubrick, Sam's close friend,in Full Metal
Jacket.

This brings up a plan I have to remake another movie.

In the original, the drug-addicted wife is not moving and appears to
be dead. However, she soon wakes up and is OK.

In my proposed remake, when wife appears to be drugged and not moving,
she is actually dead of an overdose. To hide the evidence, the drug
dealer cuts up her body and places it in plastic bags with weights to
sink into the bottom of the ocean. Other crew members do not realize
this.

This will greatly improve the movie, of course.

Now I need to find a scene from another movie where a woman's dead
body is cut up with a chain-saw and placed in plastic bags with
weights and sunk into the bottom of the ocean.

Does anybody have suggestions?

This is all for the sake of art, of course.

How do you know? Stanley Kubrick was a regular at the Chess and
Checker Club of New York, otherwise known as "the Flea House", where I
used to hang out, although I never knowingly met him there.

A scene in a movie where a woman appears to be dead from a drug
overdose but later comes back to life appears in "Eyes Wide Shut", a
Stanley Kubrick Movie, but the woman dies the next day from another
drug overdose.

Because if you knew him you'd have blathered on about it long before
now in painful and excrutiating detail, just as you chronicle every
minutiae of your pathetic repulsive life. I'm frankly surprised you
don't have a webpage devoted to your most memorable bowel movements,

Sam and Kubrick used to be good buddies. It's not widely known, but
Sam would have gotten the title role in "Barry Lyndon," and — much
more to his taste — the part of Alec in "A Clockwork Orange," but
scheduling conflicts (e.g. that Mah Jong flick) prevented it, and so,
reluctantly, Kubrick gave those parts to Ryan O'Neal and Malcolm
McDowell, respectively.
This resulted in Sam getting shut out of "Eyes Wide Shut." He was
drooling at the prospect of performing satanic rituals with all those
naked hookers, but by this time Kubrick had lost faith in him and
didn't offer him anything.

Sam Sloan, visionary.

After that, Sam, how about you do a remake of "The Count of Monte
Cristo" with yourself as Edmond Dantes? But this time, in the big
escape scene, when they drop you in a weighted bag into the sea by the
Chateau D'If, you can't cut your way out.
