Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Bastardized version: Return of Chandu
Chandu on the Magic Island is a poorly edited, bastardized 65-minute version of chapters 7-12 from Return Of Chandu serial. Some edits are atrocious and there are audio drop-outs and glitches. While this feature film version does include the serial ending, it begins without the storyline for the first six chapters.

I am a Bela fan but, found this bastardized film disappointing, especially with the substandard print used for the Alpha Video release. While, the source print is better ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good stuff but the theater serial version is much better!
This is the 1935 Feature Film which evolved from the heavy-handed editing of the following 1934 theater serial (broken down into 12 separate chapters), now available on two separate DVDs:

The Return of Chandu the Magician, Vol. 1

This Lugosi feature somewhat pales in comparison to that fine old serial version which runs a full 3 hours and 32 minutes -- the feature film version runs for only 65 minutes!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Hey, Bela Lugosi's not evil in this one!
This black and white 1935 release is short at 66 minutes but is a ton of fun for the nostalgia buffs. For those grown-ups still nurturing an inner child, and who hearken back to a time when cliffhanger serials ruled the cinema, this one's right up the alley. Chandu on the Magic Island tells a strange tale of the occult and the battle between White and Black magic.

Bela Lugosi, more famed for portraying Count Dracula, reprises the role of turban-wearing Frank Chandler, better known as ... Read More
