This screenplay of Wayne Wang's widely acclaimed first film includes an English translation of scenes spoken in Chinese, as well as a Chinese character text of those scenes.

Chan is Missing broke ground with mainstream audiences with its realistic portrayals of Chinese characters in San Francisco's Chinatown, replacing stereotypic stock Asian characters found in previous films from the western world. This volume includes an interview with Wang and an introduction and screen notes by Diane Mark.
