Editorial Reviews

From the Studio

A Wisconsin-born actor-turned-director, William Nigh was a specialist in directing action thrillers and mysteries. The Mystery of Mr. Wong, among his best feature films as director, is about a power-hungry Chinaman who is seeking to control a Chinese province by collecting twelve gold coins. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD.

THE PLOT: Wong (Bela Lugosi), a greedy, power-hungry Chinese is after gold coins that are linked to the promise of great power. His henchmen go on a killing spree to collect the coins for their boss. Wong needs just one more coin to complete his tally of twelve when Jason Barton (Wallace Ford), a reporter for the local newspaper, is asked to cover the murders in Chinatown. Barton is hardly prepared for the mysteries that unfold in the ensuing few hours as he snoops around Chinatown with his girlfriend Peg (Arline Judge)..

3.0 out of 5 stars The OTHER Mr. Wong, September 27, 2000

This review is from: The Mysterious Mr. Wong (DVD)

The last film I ever expected to be re-released on DVD, yet it's enjoyable. For those of us who have seen Bela Lugosi as a bad guy (in most of his films) and a good guy (in a few others) here's your chance to see him in a dual role. One, an obsessed mandarin trying to acquire coins which will give him power. The other, a knowledgable collector who hopes for his (the bad guy's downfall). Not a 5 star film but good. I also recommend the Boris Karloff Mr. Wong set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chinatown Hijinxs, May 23, 2006

By 

Deacon (America) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mysterious Mr. Wong (1934) DVD [Remastered Edition] (DVD)

Set in the seedy underbelly of Chinatown, this film surprised me. I thought it would be a Charlie Chan type thriller, but it certainly is not. Rather, you get a well paced story about magic and mysteries in Chinatown while bumbling police offiers look for stolen gold coins. The comedic elements are a good balance for the tension that comes later in the film when the magic and danger get heightened. It takes a lot for me to get surprised by older movies but this one gets the job down. The sound quality is also very high.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best of the "Bad" films., October 25, 2002

By 

Jeff (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mysterious Mr. Wong (DVD)

This is one of the best of the cheap "Chinatown" mysteries. A real classic. The more you watch it, the more it grows on you.
DVD picture quality is pretty good, the sound is OK, but what can your expect from Monogram pictures. Buy it!
