Re: Re: Re: Re: Chinese Chans

Rush:

When you were interviewed for the documentaries on the Chan DVDs, was there someone from 20th Century Fox who you were in contact with via email or by phone? I'd just like to tell some people involved in some fashion with the Chan DVDs that there might be as many as SEVEN more Chan films still out there (beyond the four missing Oland Chans).

These films have received so little attention or consideration that they could still be sitting on a shelf in a row in a film library somewhere and no one would have probably have paid any attention to them for decades. Yes, perhaps no prints of any of these seven films still survive, but has anyone even taken a serious look for them?

It's so interesting to get a look at what Charlie Chan looked like in the Chinese films from that poster.

Notice that Charlie's Number 1 daughter is wearing some sort of weird glasses.

I was pleased to see that this links up with part of the plot synopsis that I attempted to translate...

"Afterwards, Charlie Chan invents spectacles that may possibly reveal the stealth technique used. However, he must wait to use the spectacles when they cannot be found, so the case becomes deadlocked."

Amazing to see the 'spectacles' mentioned in the synopsis.
