Chan Is Missing (1982)
Member Rating:  
This thriller about a $4000 robbery was successfully lensed by writer/director Wayne Wang on a budget of $22,000. Cabdrivers Wood Moy and Marc Hayashi are robbed by the elusive Chan Hung (whom we never see in the film). As Moy and Hayashi track down the thief, Wang offers indelible images of the seamier portions of San Francisco's Chinatown. Whether the two cabbies ever retrieve their lost loot is immaterial; the film is a mood and character piece, seasoned with unexpected moments of laughter. Chan is Missing became a sleeper on the arthouse circuit, a fact that would open many professional doors for the multi-talented Wayne Wang. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    The film is a wonderful reflection that takes us back to the glory days of independent filmmaking. Wood Moy's performance carries the film to greatness.

    If you gave a camera to a 16 year old high school student and told him to film everyone he knew you'd get the same result ... more or less.
