The best of the Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes: the Chinese Mad Scientist.

Chinese Mad Scientist. The Chinese Mad Scientist appeared in the Chinese film Patriotism and the Mad Scientist (1935). The Chinese Mad Scientist is a Mad Scientist who begins by carrying out his inhuman experiments on innocent civilians in the countryside around Shanghai, but when the Japanese invade he is convinced by a patriotic Chinese woman to help his country. The movie ends with him vowing to use his SCIENCE! weapons against the invaders.

A Shanghai production, Patriotism and the Mad Scientist is one of those historical curiosities about which next to nothing is known. I wasn’t even able to find its original title, otherwise I’d have used that. Somewhere, in some Chinese newspaper archive, lurks the information I seek. Universal translator, hurry up and get here!
