Mr. Wong Detective (1938) BORIS KARLOFF 

To this day I still haven't seen anything I enjoy as much in the crime genre as Mr. Wong, Charlie Chan and Mr. Motto, and of course the inimitable Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes.

Love these old movie. No violence, no sex, no cuss words, no blood guts and gore. Just pure plots and intrigue

I love these old black and white films and it’s fun to watch the old actors. Thank you for the video.

Love these old detective shows thank you so much for all of these!

The best print I have ever seen of a poverty row picture. This helps these low budget films immensely.

I so enjoyed this movie, I'll be binge watching the others tomorrow. A most pleasant way to spend an evening...

I love watching Boris. There are great detective easy watching movies👍

The Great Boris Karloff . Sure wish he were here to do more.

Excellent- watching them all. Boris Karloff is great!

Great films. Wish they made more of them.

The three great B-movie “Asian detectives” (none played by Asian actors) were Mr. Wong (Boris Karloff), Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre), and Charlie Chan (Sidney Toler and others). To my taste, the Mr. Wong movies were the best of them, and Boris Karloff was the best lead actor in any of the three series. Monograph was a “Poverty Row” studio, meaning the budgets for these pics were very low, but there is still a lot of good in them.

I love Boris Karloff in anything!!!!

My first of six; so glad Pizza Flix is at the helm and no ads. Karloff treated role with dignity; portrayed serenity, inner peace, professional polish. Grant Withers overacted turning what could have been strength into crass bullying.

I've said it before and I'll say it again here, Boris Karloff might be the greatest actor of them all. He can wear any 'hat'.

I believe Mr. Wong is smoking something other than tobacco. Truly enjoy every Boris Karloff film and thank you for letting us enjoy them again - and again.

Could never get enough of the Asian-detective films, rarely if ever played by Asians except in the case of Key Luke in Phantom of Chinatown. I find the Mr. Wong and Chan films strangely soothing as well as being highly entertaining & offering a revealing peek back into the 1940s including the lingo of the times and much more. Splendid. And yes, these films are filled with sexism and ethnic stereotyping but in their defense, Wong and Chan are both presented as hyper-intelligent, well-educated, well-experienced, deeply wise charming professionals and all-around fine human beings in addition to serving as examples of all ethnicities and nationalities being capable of achieving the same intellectual, educational and critical thinking heights. And Karloff's Wong: wow. Talk about a smooth Brit. Admission: I have watched all these films so often I find Chan and Wong-isms creeping regularly into my daily verbal communication including "Contradiction, please..." and "A request from a friend is virtually a command", etc.

Excellent. The ending wow!

i love reading the comments, there as interesting as the movie. well done people

Boris Karlof , What a character actor. Iconic roles. Like Lon Chaney, he had a way to get into his roles. One of his best was the Mummy. Not many know he was also Frankensteins monster! He played two of Hollywoods most famous monsters.

Hard to beat ... love these

Very enjoyable. Thank you Pizza Flix for sharing.

Good one. Thanks for posting!

I love these movies that are now so politically incorrect, but as someone has commented earlier, no sex, no overt violence, just pure plot, mystery and intrigue!

Good old movies . . . I love 'em.

Thank you so much. Tremendous fun.

I love these shows year after year.

I never knew Perry White had such a varied career until I started watching a lot of 30s and 40s films! @PizzaFlix STILL SAUCIN'!

Channelling Charlie Chan .. so used to Boris being in scary movies (for me as a kid in the 60s).

The guy talking to Mr. Wong at the beginning? Looks like a young Mr. Perry White, the newspaper editor in the Superman television series with George Reeves. (50's-60's)

Boris 😊... nothing more to say 👍👍

Car tires were made of rubber before WW2, in 1942 rubber was rationed and used mainly by the military and civilian emergency vehicles, car owners were allowed to have only the same 5 tires that were on the car for the duration of the war, my dad had so many flats the intertubes had patches every inch, speed limits were reduced to 35 mph to save tires and gas - - AH - the good old days

Why are the Police so often portrayed as such inept individuals??

Everyone smoked in the good old days. Even the babies.

Perry White asking Mr. Wong for help. He should looked up in the sky...

they had cars in those days Mr. Wong strikes again.

Thank you

Thanks for posting.

I love this movie but it would be better if the night scenes where not so dark.

Wong's houseboy, Lee Tong Foo, also played 'Sam Wing' on "Across the Pacific" with Humphrey Bogart in '42. I never forgot his line: "Much trouble- alla time, much trouble."

BIG ole shiny cars!!!!

Mr Wong ❤❤❤❤❤

I just watched Charlie Chan in Egypt, same glass with gas in side.

I enjoyed the movies,couldn't ignore ethnicity of the actors. Especially Charlie Chan.

Carrying one of the glass balls in pocket or car and a cop or ambulance goes by for any reason? Seems dangerous.

Number one son: Pop, this is Mr. Wong. Mr. Wong, this is Charlie Chan. Wong: How do you do? We've never met before? Chan: And never heard of before.

I think you rang the wong number i wish theyd made more episodes

Detective Street was SO RUDE to everyone including his girlfriend!

The inspector Grant Withers wonderful character actor he became John Wayne’s punching bag in a few of their movies

I've just noticed that with only a couple of small changes, Inspector Street's office would make a swell western barroom. LOL It probably did!

They tried Asian actors but just did not go over with audiences.

great

"you have to be crazy to 'dope' one of those things out", said by the legendary Grant Withers, to the psyche doctor, when he gives him his report on the suspect, that indicates he's not a nut.

Amazing the best detectives from the orient weren't from the orient. But so it was for America the free

Oh poor Mrs R!!

Politically incowwect, this is ah so Wong.

Knowing what happened to Grant Withers, hurts a bit.

Let's see - 81 years ago - gave us time to read the credits - BTV - BCELL phones - Bcomputers - great 6 volt cars - And a partridge in a pear tree

I love, suffering and death acting, its the best! 1:01:56

Ahh Boris... the one and only

Although by our contemporary standards it is silly for Karloff to play in « yellow face », I really like the fact that Street is portrayed as an aggressive, close-minded, wrong-headed, bumbling idiot while Wong is always poised, sharp-minded and classy. Ir’s like his turn as Fu Manchu a few years earlier - Fu was also a caricature Chinese as a baddie, but always suave, urbane and much more sophisticated than the one-dimensional « good guys ».

Really like video but sections are too dark

the actor at the beginning who was observing the unloading at the docks, then reported to his boss by coming in through the window? Scott Baio-.......thank you! (lol)

Estou no Brasil, falo português. LEGENDA EM PORTUGUÊS POR FAVOR 🙏

Did the actor who phoned HQ also show up in a Thin Man movie with a very distinctive voice?

How does the gas get in the glass globes?

"You're the Chinese 'copper', eh"🤔??? "Yes", says Mr. Wong. "The Chinese copper"…………

Why they call him Wong? He no Wong he light!

Grant was sure good at the yelling. :)

Perry White from the 50's version of Superman

Sometimes the detectives on these shows are so ridiculous.

How did meisle know the victim would stay in the same room with the sphere until the siren caused it to shatter

James Lee Wong was a great serial writer back in the day & these folks did a wonderful job adapting his stories to the moving picture format. I thought Karloff was good in the role, believable as an Asiatic too, not an easy trick for a Caucasian too pull off. Just look at Mickey Rooney in "Bk'ft At Tiffany's to see a failure in yellow face.

13:38. The less than intelligent detective ask 'Why did he kill Dayton ?' So dumb cuz he was in the next room with others all those time. This Mr Wong is one great wayang when talking about the poison gas.

How many Mr. Wong movies were there?

Capt Street - - - sounds like Inspector LeStrade. i could be Wong...

His two partners gleefully have him sign a revised contract between them.....which they have just sprung on him, first thing in the morning!! The two partners came up with it together, without consulting their third member! Why are the Police, from the top down, made to appear so totally inept!!

non si possono sentire in italiano ??

The main bad looks like he could be Pee Wee Herman's grandfather!!!! The resemblance is amazing!!!

how about a nice puffer fish sandwich to go with your tea ?

💖💖💖💖💖💖

This seems a little like a C Chan flick. But i like as many of both . Mr .Wong. Mr. Chan . An any others holems ect. Boris k. Is the orintal investigator . Kinda slow .

Can’t help it but every time I hear Boris Karloff speak I hear that stupid sixties song .... the monster mash it was a graveyard smash it caught on in a flash .

What's Wong with this picture

Don’t forget Miss Marple

Why didn't Perry White go to Superman for help?

I wonder who came out with the first asian detective…

No hay en castellano

Better than Charlie Chan

very smart :D

Columbo would be proud

The cleaning woman who scrubbing floors was the same actress who played jimmy Stewart's mother which he never had when Clearance the Angle changed everything around.

Mr. Wong wants to talk to a glassblower, so he goes to ... the Dean of the Physics Department?

"you're going to get killed some day, doing that L'Ascoti", who replies, "doing what? freaking you out by climbing down from above your open sliding door"? "and besides, I look like Scott Baio".

Peter Lorre delivers telegram.

She is just as bad if, not worse than he is!!
