DVD Reviews of Charlie Chan Collection, Vol. 5 (Charlie Chan At The Wax Museum/Murder Over New York/Dead Men Tell/Charlie Chan In Rio/Charlie Chan In Panama/Murder Cruise/Castle in the Desert)
DVD Review: Where are the 8 discs?
Summary: 1 Stars
The movies are great: FIVE STARS for Charlie Chan...ONE STAR for 20th Century Fox. Very disapointed in Charlie Chan Collection, Vol. 5; what a let down! Only 4 disc's (3 despised "double sided" and 1 single sided - Castle in the Desert). The other 4 sets were superb and I was expecting more of the same to complete my collection. DVD Review: Holy Cow! What a rip-off!
Summary: 1 Stars
The blurb on Amazon CLEARLY says the set includes 8 discs. And for a price tag in the mid-thirties, you'd say this looks like a bargain. However....BEWARE! As others have stated, there are only 4 discs, and 3 are "double-sided". The cost of this set should have been in the mid-twenties. Amazon, you owe me ten bucks.
As for the movies, I would award 3 stars. Personally, I was a Warner Oland Fan. Sidney Toler did a fair to middling job of continuing the series, especially his early ones. However, by the end of the 20th Century Fox run, the series was obviously spent. Toler bought the rights and continued filming with Monogram, but the Chan movies had run their course and were pretty much over. After Toler died, Roland Winters took over as Chan and effectively buried an already dead body. However, the movies in this series are watchable....just not the best Chans.
UPDATE: within a couple of days of my review, Amazon updated their description that now correctly says "4 discs". Nevertheless, my initial one star rating stands due to their false advertising when I bought the set.
Harumph!
DVD Review: Best of the CHARLIE CHAN DVD collections
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best of the 5 CHARLIE CHAN DVD collections. 6 of the 7 films rate among my favorites. There is an excellent short, "ERA OF CHAN". I also enjoyed the stills gallerys. Excellent quality reproduction of the films.DVD Review: ONE STAR for 20th Century Fox on Vol. 5
Summary: 1 Stars
Received the Charlie Chan Collection, Vol. 5 today and what a let down! Only 4 disc's, of which 3 are that despised "double sided" variety. "Castle in the Desert" is the only single sided one. FIVE STARS for Charlie Chan...ONE STAR for 20th Century Fox. DVD Review: LOVE CHARLIE CHAN MOVIES
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Charlie Chan and I received Vol. 5 today. Haven't watched them yet but am happy that they are on DVD at last.
I was a little disapointed when they arrived,
Amazon states that there was going to be 8 discs, one for
each movie plus the Chan Featurette, but as it turns out only 4 discs, 2 charlie chans per disc. I do wish they would put each Charlie Chan on a single disc,
as soon as I watch them and let you know how the prints are.
