Good old Chan murder case, 20 June 2001
Author: LeRoyMarko from Toronto, Canada

Not the best Charlie Chan movie but still entertaining. By now, you know the type of movie this is: a couple of murders, a special atmosphere (in this one, it's a «fun house»), and Charlie Chan to the rescue.

I really liked the taxi cab character, Birmingham Brown, played by Mantan Moreland.

Out of 100, I gave it 69. That's ** on a **** stars rating system.

Seen at home in Welland, June 20th, 2001. Marko Roy.
