  • The first 6 Monogram CHANs

    I was surprised that this MGM box set came out in 2004, 2 years before Fox started releasing their CHAN films in boxes. Everyone dismisses Monogram compared to Fox, but these films, while low-budget and with fewer "name" actors, are fun, and I'm glad Sidney Toley got ahold of the CHAN film rights in order to continue the series as he did. Mantan Moreland, who I feel is every bit as funny onscreen as Lou Costello, adds comedy even when the quality of the mysteries was dropping off. One might compare this to the 2nd season of the Adam West "BATMAN", compared to the 1st. A quick look reveals EXCELLENT picture quality, better than anything I ever saw broadcast on local stations, although the sound isn't quite up to that level. Clearly MGM did little or no restoration on these, and there's no extras apart from chapter lists and subtitles in English, Spanish or French. If I have any complaint, it's that it would have been nice if MGM could have come up with a 6-disc box about a 1/3rd the size of this one (it's just a slipcase holding 6 previously-released individual movie boxes). Before I looked this up, I rather envisioned something like the MPI Basil Rathbone SHERLOCK HOLMES set, which would have all 12 Monogram-Toler CHANs in a single box MUCH smaller than this one. (Oh well, maybe some day.) I usually go for "Brand New" where I can afford it. Consaidering these were Monograms, "Used" was fine-- especially as it was ONE-FIFTH the cost! That was a huge difference.

  • Good Purchase!

    This Charlie Chan DVD's were perfect. The only problem with delivery is that 2 of the DVD's had a cracked center piece where the disc sits and we were lucky it did not cause the product to get scratches on the two DVD's from slipping around in the cases. I changed the cases into new cases and they are fine. I think they should be making those cases better so they don't crack so easily, this has happened to me several times before and the outcome was not as good. I love the Charlie Chan series and this collection had completed my collection of the Sidney Toler set. Thanks!

  • Good value

    Sidney Toler’s first Monogram studios Chan movies, plus I got it for a great price. While the Chan movies here generate controversy, they are always entertaining for fans of light mystery “B” movies from the 30’s and 40’s.

  • Good quality DVDs at a reasonable price.

    A very good deal for the price. Very reasonable for the amount of movies you receive. The picture quality isn't perfect, but still pretty good. Very happy with this purchase and enjoying the movies. From what i read about other Charlie Chan DVDS quality out there, these are definitely a better quality DVD.

    DVDs were in as NEW condition. The only quibble was a glued on paper portion of the six pack box had come unstuck and had seen better days. But otherwise very satisfied.

  • Bargain

    I had gotten this set years ago but when I saw this one I had to order it. The other one is getting to the point that some of the CD’s skip or pause. Thank You for the new set and it is truly a bargain!
