"Hollywood Chinese: The Chinese in American Featured Films" is a 2007 American documentary film directed by Academy Award-nominated director Arthur Dong.

From early films like the 1900's "Beheading the Chinese Prisoner" to Ang Lee's triumphant "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005, Dong utilizes clips of more than 100 films and interviews of prominent Chinese Americans to create a thorough overview on the depiction of Chinese in mainstream Hollywood films. He hits many major points such as yellowface in both Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu series, Nancy Kwan's roles in "The World of Suzie Wong", Bruce Lee and the emergence of martial arts films and Justin Lin's take on his film "Better Luck Tomorrow". People interviewed include Christopher Lee, Wayne Wang, James Hong, Luise Rainer, Amy Tan and B. D. Wong. Dong also spends time talking about his discovery of two reels of the 1916-17 silent film "The Curse of Quon Gwon", which is considered to be the first feature film made by an Asian American.
