Trivia
As a publicity stunt, Producer Harry Alan Towers had Sir Christopher Lee tour European countries choosing a national beauty contest winner from each one, the prize being a part in the movie. However, despite their decorative appearances in Fu Manchu's cave headquarters, none of these beauties was allowed to utter a line, as they were not members of Equity. See more »Goofs
The car which goes off the road and is wrecked during the chase sequence is about one decade more recent than the one in which the principals have been driving, and from which they emerge after the wreck. See more »Quotes
