The Castle of Fu Manchu

The Legendary Asian Crime Lord Is Back...And International Evil Has A Chilling New Home!
Christopher Lee returns as the diabolical super-villian who along with his sadistic daughter Lin Tang (Tsai Chin of THE BRIDES OF FU MANCHU and THE JOY LUCK CLUB) creates a fiendish new chemical weapon that will turn the seas into a giant block of ice. But when his Archenemy Nayland Smith (Richard Greene of TALES FROM THE CRYPT) tracks the madman's trail of kidnapping, murder and massive global destruction, he himself becomes trapped in Fu's impenetrable lair of cruelty. Can any of the world's top secret agents (including a wild performance by Director Jess Franco) now stop the cold-blooded terror that lives in THE CASTLE OF FU MANCHU?

Maria Perschy (99 WOMEN) and Rosalba Neri (JUSTINE) co-star in this notorious sequel to THE BLOOD OF FU MANCHU directed by Jess Franco (THE BLOODY JUDGE, VAMPYROS LESBOS) that marked Christopher Lee's final performance as the infamous Chinese madman. This definitive edition of THE CASTLE OF FU MANCHU has been newly restored from it's original print and packed with exclusive new Extras for a disc full of Fu Manchu mayhem!

Christopher Lee Stars as the legendary bad guy Fu Manchu. Its seems that Fu Manchu has kidnapped a scientist and forced him to divulge his special formula for turning water into ice! OMG! This is worse than it seems at first glance, because we are talking about LARGE amounts of water, like ocean sized amounts of water. And the formula does not involve littel trays that fit inside the household freezer. Rather something more ominous called "crystals". oh yes, and in this case these powerful crystals are made from a distillation of the opium poppy. Thus it is off to Turkey for loads of fun with the diabolical mastermind so devious, that the world named a mustache after him. Of course their are Turkish drug lords to deal with, and pesky investigators from Scotland Yard, oh yes and it seems that we will also need to invent the heart transplant along the way. But no mater! These are mere trifles to a brilliant madman like Fu Manchu! The movie is a great romp through the youth of evil madmen bent on world domination films. Complete with demands made to all the worlds governments (via intercom) that they must meet his demands or have humanity plunged into a sea of frozen waste for all time. It at no point even seems important that Fu Manchunot once specifies what these demands are, as it is obvious that he is after all of it, the whole enchilada, and only an idiot would ask him what he was after, what he hoped to gain by all this. I mean he has a gorgeous assassin for a daughter and a loyal to the death army of red silk scarf wearing henchmen to do his bidding, so what do you think he wants? sheesh. Well, Fu Manchu throws down the gauntlet in this one, and its pay up or die time as far as he is concerned. Though there is a certain Englishman named Smith who would like to have a word with Mr Manchu before the fun ends. Check it out, a campy flick for a hot day, perfect with a friend and a glass of iced tea!
