COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Peter Sellers as Sidney Wang submitted by willow on August 16, 2015, 7:15am Peter Sellers plays Sidney Wang, an apparent parody of Charlie Chan, making jokes about eating "kow dung woo fung" at a restaurant while having a thin mustache, buck teeth, and apparent eyelid taping. Other characters criticize his stereotypical Chinese English, e.g. lack of pronouns and articles. In order to be a successful parody, it should have done more than simply imitate Charlie Chan.
