Thanks for that, have watched all of the movies i could find, but not all of them,

Yep, I fondly remember Charlie Chan movies.
You can get some heated debates among Chan fans by asking who they prefer: Warner Oland, Sidney Toler, or Roland Winters, in the title role.

I have not seen any Chan movies on TV in recent years.
I’ve heard that they have been pulled due to political correctness. There are so many other old movies on AMC, TNT, and other channels, it makes you wonder how they could overlook every single one of these Chan movies.
To: NYer
I am a fan of the Sidney Toler movies. He was a better Chan. Warner Oland was alright, but Toler was better.
You gotta love Netflix. Most of the Chan movies are streaming so I can watch them whenever I want. I had not seen one in decades. Channel 17 in Philly used to run them real late on a Saturday night. The good old days of antenna TV.

Actually, two or three of the earlier Chan films are “lost,” with no known prints in existence.
Always enjoyed the Chan films, even the el-cheapo later ones from Monogram (which are actually pretty dire). I even own a copy of an original one-sheet movie poster from one of the Chan films, circa 1939.

I read once that the movies were banned by FOX for quite a while because the wife of some network bigwig found them "offensive". But the demand led to very profitable DVD releases instead. They are almost all available on commercial DVDs...pretty cheaply too if you shop online. I like all of the actors who played Chan...although, yes, Warner Oland's films are the best. In part due to better production values as well as the actor.

By the way in reference to FOX I meant 20th Century FOX, not FNC. Although I bet Alan Colmes and Geraldo would find them “offensive” too.

I love Charlie Chan! My family and I have been making short films for years and last year we did a Chan film. I played Chan and my daughter played "#1 daughter, Sue Chan". Sidney Toler is my favorite Chan, but I love 'em all. Here is the lobby card we made of our movie:

Wasn’t there a fourth (and I don’t mean whoever played Chan in that 80s movie (Peter Falk was Sam Spade . . .)?

Neat.
I loved CC movies ever since I first saw them 6 or 7 years back.

I cannot remember a 4th Charlie Chan. If he’s out there, it would be a good trivia question to ask knowledgeable Chan fans about.
