Viewing Notes
The Mysterious Mr. Wong (1934) is a different Wong than Karloff’s detective Wong (yet still directed by William Nigh). Actually this is Bela Lugosi’s Wong and he’s not quite a nice guy either. This Wong wants to possess all the magic coins of Confucius that will allow him to rule China. Or something.
