Viewing Notes

Sunday morning serial: Warner Oland continues his run as Chan and has his number one son, Luke Keye, back. I like this installment but they really put zero effort in making the location resemble Shanghai. Most of the actors including the hotel phone operator a white person. Yes I understand it makes sense to have British folks but to have almost no Chinese people is really weird.
