Curse of the Jade Falcon

Quick stats about the movie

Slyly crafted on multiple levels, Curse of the Jade Falcon seamlessly blends an assault of Asian stereotypes while reinventing the opening scene of the classic film The Maltese Falcon: a mysterious woman implores a detective to find her sister who has run away to the city to meet a dangerous man.

Producer/writer’s statement

Ian Tang says:

“On paper, Curse of the Jade Falcon reads as one of the most racist films ever conceived. But who decides what is racist? Can you have satire without racism? Can racism be tolerated when presented in such a pretty package?

Never over-bearing and acutely subversive, the urge to laugh is infectious – but does it cross the line?”
