This movie and its relationship to the Zodiac persona are discussed in The Zodiac Revisited, Volume 2: Analysis and Fact-Based Speculation.
This film is the 1939 installment of the Charlie Chan series in which the world-famous detective travels to Treasure Island and, with the help of the San Francisco Police and a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle, does battle with the evil Dr. Zodiac.
Great classic flick! Shame that so many of the younger folks have ditched these for the modern "in your face" movies that just lack a certain quality that these older movies have, it's one of those undefined qualities that is difficult to put a finger on to describe.
Films of old that could stand on plot and even acting...not staged death-defying stunts, sex, or offensive language. And black and white offers greater camera work for atmosphere. I teach film studies in h.s. The kids are always pleasently surprised.
@@dawndubsky4641It’s true.
Movies back then relied on real strengths. Even if some had outlandish plots the films still had charm to help suspend any disbelief. Modern ones…very very very very few have that.
It’s real shame. I just turned 30 but have watched Charlie Chan movies after I discovered them while watching old Sherlock Holmes movies here on YT. This was back when I was like maybe 25ish. Never looked back :) Wish I had discovered them as a youngin but oh well 🤷♀️
Wonderful old show, nothing like you see today. Tiss a real shame to see these old classics overlooked for modern so called improvements👻
These old movies are fabulous -- way better than today's movies in my opinion.
so very true......
Yes and isn’t it incredible how these old movies can convey emotions to us while still fully clothed, and can deliver each word of their lines clear and concise. It’s amazing how well everyone could understand everything just like the Writer, and Director strove for. But the most important point is this,,
Not one foul swear word had to be used so us simple folks could truly understand the impact of the characters and their pain ha...
My opinion mirrors yours!
@@carolmasse9000 Well Stated!
I love them too!
That is one the most spectacular Charlie Chan movies made. From start to finish it’s a festival of style •
This one is my favorite! Keeps you on your toes.
We can always count on the lights going out at least once on each show. 😁
It is truly great to see these again. Tried to find Charlie Chan for the last ten years, and here they are.
They were available on DVD about 10 years ago.
You never thought to check on youtube???
I've loved Charlie Chan movies since I was a kid!
what a great quote Charlie : "Do not challenge the supernatural unless armed with sword of truth" bursting the believers' bubble
Yes he would have been able to handle that clown Trump.
@@rax816 Or the many officials who lied about Hunter's laptop.
The $20 fee for the consultation in 1939 would be around $350 today! No wonder Pete Lewis balked. Great movie!
I was curious as to the inflation adjustment, too. Thanks for the info!
Wow.
The ride on the PanAm seaplane was about $10,000 in today's money (for the complete Pacific crossing)! 😳
@@desultorydilletante4120 Wow! :) Good catch.
how I miss Saturday morning television, mid-late 60's and the slang of these films of the 20's -50's
You might have lived in the 1920s and '30s, and had a great life.
@@Carly8Corday you said it toots
@@Carly8Cordayand be 100 now???
I've seen all the Charlie Chan movies since 1929, and this one is by far the best. Best plot, best writing, most complex plot where everything fits together without an error. Other Chan movies might have had bigger attendance, do to on location shooting (like Charlie Chan and the Black Camel), but this is the best.
Charlie called an automatic pistol a revolver, but otherwise most excellent.
Due. To on location shooting. In english
In Panama can give it a run as the best.
I have seen too many great Charlie Chan original stories, that have never been seen in any other movies!
I cannot decide which is the best, because like I said, they are all great !!!
It's a pity about the 4 lost early Charlie Chan movies with Warner Oland. Let's hope at least one gets found somewhere still.
One of the best Charlie Chan Mysteries Ever
This is great and I still like the Charlie Chan series.Sidney Toler nailed this role. Solid cast.
Me too Don Campbell! Except I was born in 1979-these movies are always my 1st choice, especially Pre-Code!!💞
Why pre code
I actually grew up throughout the 1980s and watching these Charlie Chan movies with my grandfather as a young.
I actually enjoyed them believe it or not. Most of the kids back then didn't even really know who Charlie chan was, unless they actually watch them with their grandfather or their great uncle or something like that. I prefer watching these over any movie or TV show of today. Charlie Chan was like when the greatest actors of all times and his new leaves were great. I do miss watch them on television every Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
When Movies were Awesome... I love these old Charlie Chan Shows 👏👏👏
Yes, they were. We're lucky.
@@titus3264 damn autocorrect
Those movies were & ate so good even though there was no violence visible & no sex
Charlie Chan is my favorite show
Russell Johnson i
As a little girl I loved staying up late to watch these movies on ch 48 (Philly) with my Dad ... the ending of this one gave me nightmares! Great to see it again. 😎
Wow!! I an 50 now and have similar childhood memories growing up in Philadelphia and watching channel 48 late Saturday nights with my parents. My dad’s sister Loretta introduced him to Charlie Chan and he introduced us to Charlie Chan growin up. I often watch when have trouble sleeping now as I always got tired when Charlie and either Lee or Jimmy were getting ready for bed in pajamas…
@@kevinb2844 Well I now 67, make 3 in Philly watching Charlie Chan with my mom a Irish girl from Dublin, and all the British shows in my youth wonderful memories .
Prob 1 and a half million kids grew up in philly since 1950 I hope we don t hear from all of them
about 40 years ago I used to love to watch these movies on Friday nights after midnight on WABC N.Y.
Edwin Van Cooten me too tv used to be great
They were shown on Boston TV in the '80s overnight.
Such a well-crafted film. Everything clicks. Great fun from beginning to end. Red herrings galore! My third or fourth viewing over the last 15 to 20 years. It improves with each successive watching!
Classics
@88Gibson LesPaul you are so right
@88Gibson LesPaul ...And, then we progressed! Ha!
Racist movie. As a member of BLM, this racism has to be banned from public viewing #blm
@@gillomcswan8717 Go get a life and make that matter.You can't change the history of your family or country.
The Charlie Chan's are the greatest I can watch them for hours
I love this film, watch it every once in a while, recommend to anyone!
Cesar Romero is a favorite--didn't expect him here, and am really enjoying this.
@Russ Gallagher he looked the same in every movie right down to the pencil thin moustache. Check. ocean s 11. . 21 years later. Still a good actor
Yeah, he often shows up unexpectedly. Such a pest!!!
@@aspenrebel one of the best !
Jerome Cottrell
@@jerrycottrell302 one if the best pests? He's in one of my fav movies (a John Wayne movie), "Donovan's Reef".
He's in the Thin Man too
Thank you ...these movies are perfect for making you unwind and relax
That's what these movies back then were meant to do: for people to - for one and a half hours at the movies - forget about reality and all their sorrows and fears, and just having a good time.
I remember Charlie Chan movies playing on Saturday evenings on tv. This was before we had cable with 500 channels. Thankfully now we have RUclips.
500 channels and nothing on
@@davidhallett8783 Exactly!!
Sidney Tolar as Chuck Chan!!!!! One of the best !!!!!!
One of his best films ! Jerry c
Cottrell. !!
Everyone seems to think that this is one of the best-conceived, best-acted, best-photographed of the Chan movies.
Anytime you say "everyone" or "no one" about any subject, you will be wrong.
At 1:41, the insurance man calculates that Jimmy Chan is statistically more likely to die when he reaches the age of 65 unless he has a fatal accident. Victor Sen Yung, who plays Jimmy Chan, died aged 65 - from a fatal accident!
He also later on Played HOP SING On TV'S BONANZA TV 'western
He was gassed by accident, while working on some kind of Crafts etc.
didn't know that...sorry to hear...
@FRMONSIVAIS what s wrong with what he said whitey
@@lynryan8748 why are you sorry to hear. Did you think he was never going to die or that he died of something fatal. Refer mr cox
11:31 Cesar Julio Romero Jr. (February 15, 1907 - January 1, 1994) the Joker from Batman January 12, 1966/1968.
This one Great CC Film. 5-Stars!
I absolutely love Charlie Chan!!! I have probably watched all of his shows and movies:). Tyfs God bless you
The first two of them were silent and prob ten of the movies are lost and the last two starred ross martin then peter ustinov so you prob haven t seen them all
@@davidhallett8783 you're probably right
I just love these movies . Funny , I was born in 1968 & these 1930/1940s are my favorite . Sometimes , I wish I was alive during this period .
similar here. I also get sucked into Sherlock Holmes Black and white movies with actors Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce
Agreed. I had a professor once who told me that he had watched a good movie and asked me if I knew what one was. Curious I asked him how to tell if a movie was any good. His reply was that it was in black and white.
Then you would be as Old as Charlie Chan you think.
Same here....except for a few things.....medicine and things like air conditioning and let's not forget The Great Depression and later, WWII. If we had grown up at that time, it may have been acceptable, but so many illnesses that were the kiss of death are now routinely cured. Best to just look back through rose colored glasses....the people who lived through it probably were not quite as in love with those times as those who didn't.
You wouldnot have liked this era: depression, lack of work, lack of money, etc. Women were very sarcastic, men were charming, not much divorce, World War 2, constant war bond advertisement, Americans bragging about winning the war, .....
Nicely done as usual. The Chan films were the best!
I also love Donald McBride who plays the Detective. He was funny in so many movies. In one of Doris Days movies, "Move Over Darling" Donald McBride plays the Hotel Clerk, and he is hilarious in it.
I think I need an intervention. Charlie Chan movies are fun and truly an addiction.
Your so right, they are great mystery movies.
I too, could use one. I watch these over and over. 🤓
You think you're bad, I caught myself quoting Charlie Can to my Asian wife! I'm literally in the doghouse!
@@maccyknife1 :correction please, I do the same to my asian wife, also. Thank you very much.
Yes, they are! 😀
Loved these as a kid...have not seen this one.
Thank you for the excellent upload. It is so soothing to watch a Charlie Chan movie.
I love these old Charlie Chan movies.
Zodiac killer could have taken his name from anywhere. Definitely a bizarre coincidence with San Francisco, though.
Haha. Was going to mention as an aside the possible Zodiac connection to this movie -- until I saw your name. Great entry in the Charlie Chan series, by the way. Thanks for posting.
The insurance adjuster was nearly correct. Jimmy Chan (Or the actor who played him) would live another forty-one years.
I agree that older movies are better than today cheaper scripts 😅 😂
Love those Charlie Chan movies 🎉
They don't make-um like this anymore....
You are not lyin. They don't make good ole movies any more like Charlie chan Mr Moto or the snoop Sisters not even good ole gangster movies. Tv went down to dirt
Cesar Romero, Awesome.
Check out those store bought choppers
Victor Sen Young one great underrated actor. Makes me laugh. This is the purpose of these films after Depression years and pre WW II.
@@rickconnell4910 this movie is from 1939 the same year w w 2 started. A fact no amerikan knows
@Hymat Vgytab an amerikan is someone who thinks w w one started in april 1917 and that w w two started dec 7th 1941 a date that will live in infamy except in the bush family. An amerikan is someone who owns an amerikan school geography book that shows. u s on their cuntry and t h e m. on every other country
@Westside 54 yeah he was
I enjoy watching this Charlie Chan detective movie.
"imagine san francisco already"..20 hour flight. Almost instantaneous. hehe. Loved these movies when I was young.
look at the room they have. Now first class would be a small cubicle. Granted some airlines have very nice first class amenities
You wouldn't wanna be flying a prop job in '38
Great movie! Thanks for posting it!
Honorable son is quite a pest!😁Charlie Chan is quite indulgent as a father!
Yes, it's part of the sub plot, and total fantasy it would seem.
Charlie's quips are great... and still funny, after all these years!
I am 84, I grew up in the 1940s during the war years the country was United and not divided like it is today. The depression era was right after the stock market crash of 1929 and lasted until 1940. In those years radio and the movies was my entertainment until 1946 when television was available to the public. It was different times people were more happy then they are today.
I've visited lots of countries with people outwardly much happier than they are in the US. Wish I could've been there to see the best times of the US. As they say, "the past is a foreign county; they do things differently there".
Saw Ceasar Romero at the Academy Awards in 1984.
I remember watching this movie when I was 9 or 10 yrs old
1:53 sec. Jimmy is 20 and as predicted by his fellow plane passenger he indeed did have 45 years to live, as the great Victor Sen Yung unfortunately did die at the age of 65, according to his IMDB bio.
Yep yep, these C.chan is an still is a real classic . Anyone would like to be in a movie with Charlie Chan... Classics
I love to watch Charlie Chan, l love both Stars that play him
3 played CC
Don t forget roland winters peter ustinov and ross martin. None of them oriental

Great film! One of the very best.
I love all charlie chan movies have been seening them for many years
Yes I love Charlie change movies
Wow a very young joker 🃏 from Batman television show.
Wow nice catch!
Not sure 32 years old is very young. hehe.
@@mikeyoung9810 it is to me!!!! bwahahahahahahaa
@@mikeyoung9810 I am! Oh, and you are Young too, Mike. For life.
@@mikeyoung9810 I had my last baby in 1987at near-age 37. In the obstetrician's waiting room I looked nothing like an on-site granny, I looked like everybody else, in fact a lot younger than some 22 and even 19 year olds. The baby at birth rated a 9 out of10 as to health and properly functioning parts etc., and within a couple of minutes he rated 10 out of 10. So if you're over there at 32, thinking glumly that you're OLD or you feel or look OLD, it's a LIE, it's stealing from you, please just think about that. Bless you, Dear. (Oh, I'm good and old NOW :o)
Charlie Chan is awesome. Enjoy the ones with Birmingham Brown too (although he can be a little much sometimes) 😊.
You gotta love the character that Mantan plays keeps you laughing
I truly believe the real reason that charlie chan movies are seen as racist is the depiction of mantan moreland as birmingham he and stepin fetchit who was in c c in egypt and willie best in dangerous money were obliged to portray blacks as cowardly ignorant superstitious and undependable by the studio heads and directors. Offensive no doubt but they all made money and careers doing what they had to do to get paid and certainly paved the way for other black actors like james earl jones ossie davis roscoe lee browne and sidney poitier to be more realistic in their roles
I've always loved these Charlie Chan films- they instill a comfort level, what with his no. 1 and 2 sons, along with Charlie, always so elegantly attired for sleep- satin, robes.pajamas, not to mention Charlie ALWAYS gets his nutrition (usually via room service) and of course a full nights rest. Normalcy in these areas.
Charlie Chan.... so good!
Before Charlie Chan, it was Mr Moto, the Japanese detective. ww2 put and end to that franchise... a very young Joker in this one.
No, Charlie Chan was the beginning. Mr. Moto showed up around the same time, as a result of Charlie Chan's success. There were 44 Charlie Chan movies released from 1931 - 1949 (4 early ones are lost.) Mr. Moto had some success too, with a total of 8 films released from 1937 - 1939. You're right that WWII put an end to Mr. Moto films, though.
Too. Much. Fun. A good supporting cast AND a good mystery. I didn't suspect Rhadini! at all! 😌
The 1st scene on the plane with his son is so funny
ty so much for posting this, as a kid on week ends on local tv late at night they would show the Charlie chan movies and I loved em. haven't seen 1 in many years till this post. don't remember the name of the movie but my fav chan film was focoused at a carnival/circus
Why is u tube messing with pizza flux? It is my favorite channel. So many wonderful old films!
If I were Charlie, I'd be thinking "This is my priceless ancient Persian dagger now."
Another great picture show!
I own every Charlie Chan movie that has been released and this is my favorite.......Cesar Romero is amazing in this...........
Finally some great movies to watch.
Been watching a lot of these. This one is my favorite so far.
21:12 $20 in then-money is equal to about $365 in 2019.
Black cat crossing his path -- nice touch!
only cheap trick, has been done thousand times before. ancient Chinese proverb.

Sen Yung was great .. always thought he deserved more recognition 🥀
Good movie. Lots of Zodiac killer info. Did Zodiac take his name from this movie? Writing to the SFChronicle? Taunting the SFPD ? Hmmm...?
Geno Turrise obviously, that's too big of a coincidence. He's just some fucking nut that stole his entire MO and identity off of this movie, wasn't even original lol. I hope they find out who he was, they just mentioned this movie on The Hunt for The Zodiac Killer which baffles me, because its been 50 years and they haven't seen this and made the connection til now?!
I was wondering the same!
@@kenbradford6381 a nut that stole his entire m o from this movie. Like killing his only victim onstage during his magic show. So did you not watch the movie. Or you Know nothing about the zodiac killer or you can t analyze two disparate pieces of information or all three
@@davehallett3128 no I didn't watch the movie, now shut the fuck up asshole this is an old post and I don't care..
@@kenbradford6381 no. Obviously you don t care
Easily the best Charlie Chan film.
A very young Cesar Romero in this Movie.
really a good movie. all puzzle events flowed together perfectly. the writing, the direction, and the actors were wonderful. Sen Yung was a perfect number two son.
i think Ceasar Romero had an overbite - he hid it very well and probably had it corrected when he had the money cause he had perfect teeth. i saw him in person once in the L.A.area. i don't know why, but every time i see a film or TV 'star', they seem to glow - it's so weird. i wonder if Charlie Sheen did? LOL
(Bill Cosby did, too. why did you do those things? you were a great comedian.)
it's rhesus negative blood types that have the wonderful skin tones i think. my mum was like it even with big overlapping ginger freckles. very clear eye whites too to make a contrast.
I have been watching Charlie Chan movies sence the late 60s love them all it cant get no better no one better that sydney toler or werner oland
Warner oland
this is a great episode
My most favorite Charlie Chan or second one, I presume!
Love the old classics
Jimmy Chan..He was Hop Sing on Bonanza..
Dan Blocker was Hop Sing this Chinaman played Hoss
I never knew that. Never recognized him. Maybe the long ponytail and the hat he wore, and fact he was older, threw me off.
I love Charles chan
Loved Sen Yung in a change of pace role in Bogart/Huston "Across the Pacific"...spoiler alert...,he played a Jimmy type character who turned out to be a murderous saboteur
life expectancy 65 years old!!
it the plane one of the Panama Clipper, 4 engine plane that can land on water or land
Oh how I love Charlie Chan movies ❤
Sadly Earl Derr Biggers died before he could write more stories. He only completed five, if memory serves
Six. But the last one. Keeper of the keys was never made into a film. Biggers died april fifth 1933 at the age of 48 of a heart attack
The best of all times, the oldest.😊
What a brilliant mystery!!!
Victor Sen Yung played Hop Sing on Bonanza. I think. Same name anyway. And looks like him.
I grew up in the 60's watching with my dad, look at that 4 engine flying boat, those were so cool.
Every detective has to have a buffoon for comedy.
Wow ,Cesar Romero , Loreta Young, all in one movie , super WoW.
14:44 only job was deliver line and snatch 10 dollar bill.. well 1 out of 2 aint bad i guess
Young Joker!
Yes 👏🏻👏🏻
