i be a fan of bela lugosi but i also realize that he often appear in cheesy film . however and much of this cheese be actually a lot of fun to watch despite the low budget and silly writing . sadly and however and this film be neither well make nor be it cheesy fun just amazingly dull . the film begin with the old monogram studio logo the one with the monorail and zeppelin . despite this cool start and i also immediately realize that because it be make by a so called poverty row studio and that the budget and overall quality would be suspect . wallace ford be a rather obnoxious reporter ( a standard cliché of the day ) who be assign to chinatown due to some suspicious murder . at the heart of it all be mr. wong but exactly who wong be no one seem to know . consider the film star lugosi and it doesn not exactly take a rocket scientist to figure it probably be him . however and who think that a hungarian with a heavy accent would make a good chinese american . and who would have think that lugosi actually look and sound more chinese than his motley group of henchman . they all sport chinese style clothes but look about as chinese a mae west . the film do have some killing and tossing of knife and even some bamboo shoot be insert under the nail . yet and because the acting be so flat and the script so limp that even these crazy story element can not breathe life into this soggy biscuit . perhaps the movie would have be good if lugosi have actually play twin then maybe two wongs could have get it right . i should be ashamed of myself . a final note the dvd version of this film i saw be from passport video and be of very dubious quality ( it come in the bela lugosi box ) . this company specialize in release public domain film and consistently do nothing to clean up the print . this one be almost unwatchable due to terrible sound and no captioning . also and passport imprint their logo at the bottom right corner of the screen which seem like a lot of nerve consider they do not pay for the film . public domain and emblazon their name across it like they make the film . gim me a break . see if you can find a different and clean version .
