Customer Reviews

All the junk Chans.

They did this with John Wayne and others. First the slag, then the mediocre, of which I like many, and the top-notch for last. At least they are Chan, and they are on DVD. I was sure that he was being removed for being culturally incorrect. This is still a worthwhile collection to supplement the real Chan’s. These films can rival the “Mr. Wong” and “Mr. Moto” series with an intriguing formula that is just short of having the good guys wear white hats. Charlie Chan in the Secret Service (1944) Chan investigates missing plans for a weapon designed to battle German U-boats and a murdered scientist. Can he trick the bad guy(s) into revealing themselves? Charlie Chan in The Chinese Cat (1944) from the 1940s television series, a couple of murders, a chess piece, and the cat does not look Chinese. Charlie Chan in The Jade Mask (1945). Now, a scientist, Harper (Frank Reicher), has been murdered, among others. Was it the sister (Edith Evanson) or the butler (Cyril Delevanti)? Charlie Chan in Meeting at Midnight (1944), occult mysteries, and Charlie Chan’s daughter seem to be the targets. Charlie Chan in The Scarlet Clue (1945). Mysterious happenings at a radio station, and now Charlie is involved in the theft of secret radar plans. You may find “Radioland Murders” (1994) more intriguing. Charlie Chan in The Shanghai Cobra (1945) features more murders, and this time they involve radium. There is something venomous about the plot.
