fascinating that these old movies are almost a hundred yrs old. I watched a silent one the other day from 1920, 100 yrs old. wow. Never have humans been able to truly see what life was like a hundred yrs in the past, we live in an amazing time that we take for granted.
I really enjoyed this! 🙂 Ah,Mr. Wong,a serial killer & a reporter who is assigned to figure out one of the "many mysteries of Confucious." Bela is never a disappointment,whatever character there is to portray,he carries them all very well & in Bela's very own "unique" & "mysterious" way that leaves the audience believing & wanting even more! Gratitude for this great older film,again,a great way to start the weekend with 🍕 Pizza Flix 🍕 😊
Thanks for posting! Bela Lugosi as a Fu-Manchu style villain in a tongue-in-cheek mystery. My first screening. Loved Lugosi in The Corpse vanishes and wish I could have seen his on-stage portrayal of Dracula 'tho the film version was iconic. He is great even in 1941's The Black Cat. Thanks again.
Wallace Ford-- what a CHARACTER! He's become a real favorite of mine in recent years, with each movie I see him in. Probably most famous as "Babe Jensen" from "THE MUMMY'S HAND" (1940). In here, he's like a funnier version of Carl Kolchak. The dialogue between him and his girl is a riot.
I was born in 1936 so this delightful film is older than me. Happy to say, we have both well together. Thank whoever for making these film available in perpetuity. Future generation will enjoy and appreciate them as well. Kind regards to all old black and white movie lovers. England, February, 2024.
The manicurist at the 4:30 mark, calls "Moonflower" to Lotus Long's character-never realized that before, despite watching this movie in it' entirety maybe 10 times in the last few years here on RUclips.
Yes, while the stereotypical Irish cop just sits there watching him & chatting. I'm surprised he wasn't eating corned beef & cabbage, although the reporter said he was going to get him some.🥬🥩🧆
Wong was Chinese of secondary Hungarian extraction and brought up in China. This should explain it any strangeness. This great combo was what made Wong so vicious and clever. This should explain it.
Check out that STREAMLINED new Monogram Pictures intro!! Do you not like it? Also, be reassured: This is a post-code production and therefor will be found GOOD, CLEAN and WHOLESOME, suitable for the viewing of children even, having no thing whatever of the untoward nor tasteless intruding.
Thank you for sharing. Lugosi's appearance clearly set diversity in Studio Era casting back AT LEAST a generation. Well, perhaps Hungarians were pleased...
Wait until you see The Mask of Fu Manchu! Now that is a monstrosity of the worst kind and I read that BK mocked the Chinese-American citizens who protested about his performance. No one objected to Bela's cause he kept it classy and not a racist caricature. Plus BK took over Bela's Mr. Wong leftovers and made it a series. Bela was long done with that after he made this film.
Damn, mister PizzaFlix! Where did you get such a crisp copy with such a sharp image?? I watched this a while back, it never looked this good. I'm not a fan of these characterizations but I definitely prefer Bela's to the other guy's. Classier and more handsome. Plus maybe it's just me but hey! I prefer my politically incorrect characters to have a hot Hungarian accent rather than the English with a lisp version. But that's just me. Hungarian accent? No problem understanding. In comparison, the other guy's eye makeup was truly offensive and racist, and he had way too many speech impediments, I need subtitles, LOL! Downloading... and beaucoup thanks!

Joe Jones you might like the San Francisco 1906 video(s) here on youtube. Talk about a step into the past.

I love how Bela jumps out of his skin everyti9me his gong sounds.

Yep. Agreed. Babe Hanson from “The Mummy’s Hand” was a great character.
thank you for this old movie I love it take care.
Thank you PizzFlix for the fine copy to watch.
The Mr Wong of Lugosi Isnt't the same of Karloff?, This is like Fu Manchu and the other is like Charlie Chan
not at all karloff's JAMES LEE WONG was chinese american a detective
Thanks for the movie
Tks for the really entertaining movie!
Hi Erica 🍕Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you 🍕
The main saving grace of this movie is Lotus Long as Moonflower. Just wish she had more screen time. Thanks PizzaFlix!
Great actress - Difficult for Asian folks to get roles - Lotus was amazing in every role I've watched

Wallace Ford, the Swiss Arm Knife of actors.
17:58 Department of Orientology. There ain't no such woid!
Void, woid, world, word, turd
LOL
grande Lugosi !
Thanks.
Kinda funny
Reporter picking up evidence....contaminated the crime scene....hanging out in the detective bureau...the old days😊
WAY before forensics.
Yes, while the stereotypical Irish cop just sits there watching him & chatting. I'm surprised he wasn't eating corned beef & cabbage, although the reporter said he was going to get him some.🥬🥩🧆
i can watch almost any movie with lugosi in it, he had something...
Funny, I was thinking the same thing. There’s a scene in this in front of a curtained door where his moves were electric.
Gotta love the 30's a Chinese with Dracula's accent.... LOL.
Yes it's great lol

🤣
@@Klester Er .... wasn't Mr Wong a detective played by Boris Karloff ?
---@@parrot0051--- Boris Karloff was Mr James Wong. This was Mr Fu Wong. Two totally different people.
"Can I call you by my last name?"
Boy there's a romantic for ya.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
Brilliant
By the time Boris Karloff played Mr. Wong he had experienced a remarkable transformation.
It is refreshing....no political correctness...."Have you heard of a Chinaman named Wong...have I ever heard of a Chinaman not named Wong.
my dentist was a Dr Wong
PC is Marxism ..eventually , everything is racist.
Like saying about a fat guy, "He's got more chins than a Chinese phone book"?😏🤗
@@deusvolt2146That comment is racist and something Mango Mussolini would say.
I just cannot hear it even on full volume. Sorry.
Got headphones?🎧
Mr. Wong is the tallest Asian man I have ever seen. Haha. …. That Bela can really act. It’s like the part flows through his veins!
“ Has he been here too.? “ 😁
If this is Wong,then it feels so wite,good 🎥😉
Good to watch while eating chow mein, Hungarian goulash & Irish stew.🧆🥘🍝🫕🍲🍜🍛 YUM!!
🇹🇼 🇭🇺 🇮🇪
Volume too low.
🎧❓
Go, Bela!!! Thank you.
This stereotyping would send today's SPINELESS WOKES into a freakin MELTDOWN
Leave your Trumpian politics out of these comments.👽🤑🤮
... I kept waiting for his moustache to crawl up into his eyebrows ...

A weird novelty, as it was directed as though it were a silent film, with ponderous and exaggerated movements.

Irene, that is for HIM to know, and for us to GUESS about.
The 'other guy' Do you mean Boris Karloff?!
@@stephenater9687 Peter Lorre didn't do that, did he? Mayhaps Warner Oland or Sidney Toler? 🏯⛩️
Interesting you advertise it as 1934 but the copyright on the cover page says 1935 - no real problem just somebodies mistake
Love the dictshen in these old movies .
DICTION
A cleverly confusing Chinese coin caper-Confucius-maybe.
STILL good sauce two years later @PizzaFlix!
****** it’s a good movie if you’re doing something else too******
Like eating Chinese food?🧆🥘🍝🫕🍲🍜🍛
This video needed English subtitles, CC doesn't understand Bela Lugosi's Hungarian accent
The credits say the movie was made in 1935.
Release Date was December 1934. The Roman Numerals you see on the screen is for the copyright, which was January 12 1935.
Loads of fun.
This is beyond tongue in cheek--a Chinese with a heavy Hungarian accent,
A mixed Hungsrian-Chinese raised in China.
Don't Chinese read/write right to left?
The Mandarin dialect, yes. Cantonese is different.
Slightly reminiscent of big trouble in little China.
Dept of Orientology. Too funny.
What do you find funny about it?
@@holmanrw Because it's a Leslie Nielsen-type parody.
Mr. Wong sounds like Dracula.
This was good for about halve , then the film just got STUPID silly. mho
My dad used to have a saying, “It’s so bad, it’s good”. I thought the same thing as you, but still found it entertaining.
@@SDW90808 Like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "Ishtar".😕
