Begun as a Charlie Chan film ("Charlie Chan at the Ringside"), but upon difficulties between 20th Century-Fox and Chan star Warner Oland, the script was hastily rewritten to accommodate Foxs other Asian sleuth, Mr. Moto.

In fact, the theatrical cut runs one minute longer than the cut that was premiered at Cannes.
