Scott R @ScottR Dec 9 NYT 1000 films. I see why it was included for novelty and independent film, but it’s dated, has weak plot, and a bit cheesy. The best part was its focus on Chinese American culture. Saw on YouTube. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 3 Funny in 1 1/3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Copyright 1982-2025 by New Yorker Films!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Filmed on June 04th, 1982, in color!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Mark P @mpcamb 01/27/2023 I saw this long ago, back in the 80s, liked it and would like to see it again. It's unclear to me why major steaming sevices don't carry cult film, little budget wonders, film-school early director work. Warmed over crap gets the nod. See more 12/19/2016 Very good forgotten/unknown film. See more 02/29/2016 Independent noir-ish movie from the early 80s made by a Chinese American director with an entirely Chinese American cast, and taking place in San Fransisco's Chinatown, about a taxi driver who begins a search for his friend who has disappeared with his money (which was supposed to be used for his cab license). He ends up on a fruitless amateur investigation learning that his friend may not have been all that he thought he was, and could've possibly been mixed up with a murder and fled back to China. The movie is also notable for giving a lot of insights into Chinese American culture, and the little intricacies within. t is a good little movie, I liked it, despite a few shortcomings from some of the clear amateurs in the cast...but with smaller indie films? That is often pretty forgivable for me, particularly if the movie has heart, a story, and is trying it's best. See more 08/22/2014 Wayne Wang - The American Chinese Spike Lee. His first movie and a bit rough at the edges because of the low budget, but an insightful look into the lives of Chinese Americans in the 80's See more Read all reviews
