A parody of a detective movie

It's a parody of traditional detective films. Murder in a secret room, high-tech mechanisms, various motives for murder, and even the most clumsy wax figures and human skin masks (and more than one) that "can be faked as real" have appeared, which is simply better than martial arts novels.

The density of saliva is really high. But I don't think it's too funny. It should be that people who grew up in the Chinese context can't get the English context.

This is the first time I have seen the famous character of Charlie Chen (and Fu Manchu, who is an evil representative). In this film, a white man plays a Chinese, which is really unacceptable, and what is even more unacceptable is that everywhere It is full of prejudice against Chinese people, and its image was once very close to that evil Fu Manchu!

Several famous detectives of different nationalities gathered to investigate the case. This has been used in many movies since then.

    8 points. What a joyous movie~~ All the detectives come together to solve a special murder. What's even more pleasing is that the whole case is not the point. The cold jokes, cold humor, and the poignant satire of various traditional detective novels are the core of the film, which is really hilarious to watch. It would be nice if the case could be more rigorous, HOHO~~
