Detective Chinatown follows Tang Ren (Wang Baoqiang) and his quick-witted nephew Qin Feng (Liu Haoran) as they travel to New York’s Chinatown to solve a murder. What starts as a routine case quickly spirals into a maze of red herrings, double-crosses, and surreal clues, forcing the duo to improvise with wit, street smarts, and slapstick humor. The film blends Chinese streetwise humor with noir-ish mystery, delivering fast-paced gags and a confident, underdog charm.
