* TheAlcoholic: By the late '30s, Oland's drinking had become a serious problem, and became worse after his wife left him (they were apparently about to reconcile before his death). In the middle of filming ''Charlie Chan At Ringside'', he excused himself to get some water and simply wandered away. Eventually he was found and placed in rehab, recovering enough to sign a new contract for three more films. He first took time out to visit his hometown in Sweden, and died there.
Deleted line(s) 7 (click to see context) :
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: ''Film/CharlieChan at the Olympics'' features Chan investigating a plot at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and features possibly the most sympathetic portrayal of Nazi police ever depicted in American film. Even just a few years later, such a plot would be unthinkable.
