it is nice to have the two movies packaged together in one collection. i bought both movies on their own. i wound up scratching both dvd's. when i saw that amazon had the two movies packaged toghether i just had to buy. it is worth the money to purchase this dvd. i would reccomend purchasing this item instead of the two movies on their own.

Dignity and Charm
You could almost feel the gentle trade winds of Hawaii during the 1920's in the first Charlie Chan novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Romantic and full of atmosphere, Biggers was always a great romance writer who simply incorporated mystery into his books to propel the story forward. His detective was wise and humorous, his take on American life sometimes a riot. Nothing got by Chan, however, and it was ...

Sidney Toler, Mantan Moreland

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

One more mystery solved.
Charlie Chan solves another baffing case--this time it's the Shanghai Cobra. You have to like B&W movies, they really give you a special feeling with the lighting techniques and Sidney Toler is the best Charlie Chan If you love Charlie Chan, this is a good one, lots of characters, good plot, and clever ending.

Best Ever Show on Either HBO OR Showtime!!!
Superb cast, characters, storylines and expecially the remarkable acting. So WHERE is Season Two??? So many of us have been patiently waiting for Showtime to release this gem. We even check monthly with Amazon. As much as I loved 6FU, Dexter, Weeds, Sopranos, Deadwood and the rest, this was our families all time favorite. Still waiting!

Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles

Misunderstood Genius...
The review of A. Guidici just a couple before mine serves as a sad encapsulation of all of the garbage and misrepresentations thrown at Orson Welles over the years before AND after his death. The scope of his life's work is only now beginning to truly sink in. To say he did nothing worthy after Kane is to dismiss not just this film but The Magnificent Ambersons, which could have been better than ...

Classic
This is an incredible movie with Jackie Chan. It showcases more of his acting abilities, but still delivers some amazing fights and choreography.

A must see!
I saw this film initially at the SF Jewish Film Festival. Before this initial viewing I was unfamiliar with the imigration of Jews to Shanghai during the holocust. The film is informative and beautifully made. A must see for WWII, hollocast and documentary film junkies.

Gangster politics in gorgeous color
This could be an American gangster movie except that it is so beautiful. Well, that and the fact that it takes place in Shanghai in the 1930s. Gong Li plays Xiao Jingbao ("Bijou") the moll, a self-centered, vain, mean, slutty songstress kept by the "Boss" (Baotian Li) of Shanghai's underworld. As usual with director Zhang Yimou every set is gorgeous and artfully planned, the story compelling, ...

Miss Indigo Blue, The Shanghai Pearl

FIRST RUN FEATURES, 2009

Not what I expected, but much more interesting!
I bought this because I am interested in learning burlesque after a friend went through a striptease course in New York. I thought it might be more of a "how to" but then discovered that it was actually much more entertaining - even inspirational. It's easy to focus on the nudity or sexual aspects of burlesque, or even the oddity or the glamour, but what makes this intriguing is focusing on the ...

Shanghai Express Craziness
This is a multi story movie. Which makes it more interesting. There are some scenes which are humorous, showing the nature of people, no matter from what country. It has been dubbed in English, and helps a lot. Instead of trying to read what is being spoken, one gets the idea quicly. Also, although not mentioned in the actor credits, Jackie Chan has a part in this movie. The first time I ...

A Must For The Madonna Completist!
It's hard to believe that 21 years have passed since this Madonna-Sean Penn disaster was first released. And time has not worked any wonders on this clumsily plotted, awkwardly incompetent movie. What you get with this SPECIAL EDITION release is a beautifully remastered picture with 5.1 sound, a gaggle of special features which are quite funny (one of which I'm actually on--listen for me on the ...

Impressive
The 5 films contained in this artfully crafted 3-disc set are really the best versions ever released on US home video. This collection contains the remastered versions from Studio Canal that look and sound incredible. While some say "not Hitchcock's best" these early films are of great interest to both collectors and fans and those interested in the master's early technique. The documentary, ...

Funny , fast, and interesting but relevant insights to a Chinese-American perspective on life in the US and the connection they might feel when in China. Kelly Hu did a great job with her accent and really looked the part. I really liked James Hong 's role too.

Thought I Would Fall Asleep Watching This One...
I woke up early one morning and was doing some channel surfing on a cable channel that I really like. I saw the title and thought this would be a great show to stay lazy and fall asleep to. I found myself interested right away and started propping my head up to see and hear the tunes. The visual sensations are great and the music is really cool on most of the songs. I turned the volume up and ...

Marvelous! I Loved it!
This DVD on China is marvelous. I'm a part time travel agent and I love it. I have shown it to a couple of people and they were extremely impressed. Who knows, I might get a few trips booked as a result. The videos were amazing.

Charlie Chan's Chanthology
The Charlie Chan "Chanthology" is just as I expected it to be -- decent Charlie Chan mysteries with Sidney Toler. Clearly the lower budgets allowed by Monogram make a big difference in these movies. They are not as good as the earlier Fox films, but watchable. Benson Fong as number three son Tommy contributes virtually nothing to the films, and while Mantan Moreland is slightly humorous, I really ...
