Roland Winters imitating Asian speech is the best part of this film, 4 August 2002
Author: CourtoftheTable from Huntington NY

As an avid collector of all Charlie Chan films except for the Fox Four, I have avoided getting Roland Winters 6 films but finally purchased the Sky Dragon. It will end there. There is no magic at all it is a stilted film with no imagination and a story line to match
