Feeling that Director Justin Lin will most certainly be in the media spotlight in the months to come, I wanted to share this gem with you all from our SFIAAFF archives.

He presented a revisionist image to the Charlie Chan movies I had seen where a white actor played the sage, wise, unbeatable detective.
