Ted B 3.0 stars; Not bad from a mystery standpoint, although I figured out the punchline about halfway through. This was only because I've seen so many of this series that you kind of figure out the pattern after a while. It seemed like they were still working on the chemistry between the lead characters. Still, it was enjoyable from a film-noir point of view. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review andy f A thoroughly entertaining Chan movie and as usual it's the father and son interplay that steals the show. Oland is fantastic and the story is good with lots of twists. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review bill t Not one of Chan's bestm but this mystery, of how murder victims died from cobra bites, picks up as it goes along. Another No. 1 son is introduced, and Matntan are there as his assistants. Some rough seas, but it smooths over. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Lessee... radium, cobra venom, moving laundries, a jukebox & plastic surgery. Did that give it away? lol.
