Robert McKimson's 1959 farce, "China Jones", with Daffy Duck in the title role, was taken off television sometime in the 90's due to its use of now-outdated ethnic stereotypes. Porky Pig essays the role of Charlie Chung, who is not what Jones thinks he is.....
WB kept this locked in the vault until it became available for streaming 4 years ago. It's not one of McKimson's best, nor does it fit as any of Porky or Daffy's best, either.
Rating: B--.

I liked this one OK, mostly for the "Dragon Lady" and punching bag jokes.
Glad you liked it.
Re McKimson's best: I'd include 1952's SUPER SNOOPER, which I thought more clever than most WB spoofs of movies and TV. Did you review that one, and if so under what heading?
I'll have to look for that one.
