pipe: i really enjoyed SOME Charlie Chan films, others were crap. regarding racism: you do have to shrug and say "ppl were more racist at the time", the worst you see in Chan is not anti-Asian, but anti-black racism, that 'stupid slave' character, oiii.

i've seen some pretty weird speccy setups but i have never, in my life seen it actually control a MIDI instrument. probably because everyone who wanted to do that in the mid-80s was using an Atari

it's true, the Spectrum 128K supported MIDI, but i doubt anyone ever used it (much??). up to 8 channels, you can program. but the on-board chip (AY-3, what is called "YM" on here WRONGLY) that's 3 channels only.

So... a Swedish guy played the Chinese detective. Genious.

A series of movies with a Chinese detective in the USA, but they could of course not have an actual Chinese actor, no one would watch it.
