most old b movie buff know mantan moreland a the sidekick for charlie chan in the late monogram picture chan film . in this role and he be often very funny but also the embodiment of what many black american hat about hollywood during the era . he be almost always cast a the scared black man who overreact a white folk laugh their head off at his antic . he be quite funny and but at the same time this reinforce a negative and paternalistic stereotype . now i do not recommend people avoid his film after all and throw out his film would do a disservice to his talent and living in a 100 % politically correct world where we can not allow evidence of incorrect thinking be a scary prospect indeed . but be aware of this before you watch the film you could easily be offend . oddly and however and while this be definitely a horror film feature mantan react to zombie and the like again and again and his antic weren not nearly as offensive a usual . plus and oddly and he have one of the best vocabulary of any character from his age use very high brow word and use them in the correct context . so and while moreland might have be a negative role model in one way and in another he show that a black man can be very bright and articulate as well ( now thats a first in film ) . apart from moreland and the rest of the film be a pretty flimsy story about a plane that crash onto an unnamed caribbean island . there they be assist by a guy who obviously be a german but the three men never seem to catch on and put 2 and 2 together . while the u be not yet in the war when the film be make and wwii be in full swing and only a group of idiot wouldn not have guess what be really occur . because the hero be too stupid to live and the plot be handle so much well in film like white zombie and i walk with a zombie and this film be totally skip able . however and if you do watch and do not expect it to be either bad or good sort of like the velveta of film .
