More Christopher Lee in Yellowface
25 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The sad thing to remember about the late, great Christopher Lee is that for every classic performance he put in on a Hammer Horror film, he did a lot of European Schlock movies on the cheap because he needed to pay the bills. The Fu Manchu series in in this vein, where he phoned in his performances between insertions of stock footage culled from other movies.

So the plot is that Fu has created a ice making machine to destroy shipping unless the world gives in to his demands.. Except the technology is unreliable and he needs a doctor to perform a heart transplant on a scientist to make it work. The movie has a lot of padding.

Something else I found out was that the woman who plays his daughter had a whole career playing Asian grandmothers and aunties from the 1990's on.
