Wissenswertes
A Jewel Production. Universal, not owning a proprietary theater chain, devised a 3-tiered branding system for marketing its feature product to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low-budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream releases), and Jewel (prestige productions). Jewels were often promoted as special engagements in hopes of commanding higher roadshow ticket prices. Universal ended its branding system in late 1929.

Nonsense is right

From a skimming of the original reviews for THE FIGHTING AMERICAN, this weird movie was considered a parody of other films of the period. You got the all-American college kid, the goody-goody love interest (played by a gorgeous young Mary Astor), and a melodramatic series of events in China. The plot lurches along, caring very little if any of the plot progressions make sense, but then again, the point of the movie was its silliness anyway, as telegraphed from the introductory title card describing the movie as "nonsense." However, the film wasn't weird enough for me to recommend it to any but the extremely curious.
