Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worst movie i've ever seen, and yes I'm counting the Star Wars Prequels and Spiderman 2
I saw this "film" about 5 years ago and it has stuck in my memory as the most horrible experience I've ever had. After sitting through the MST3k version I was literally shaking because of how horrible this film really is.(Yes I mean that, I was actually trembling and on the verge of tears.)

Even the guys at MST3k had a hard time just sitting through this film. They had to film their responses weeks apart because they couldn't watch the whole thing without it affecting their families. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Blue Underground delivers
I am very impressed by Blue Underground's presentation of Blood of Fu Manchu and Castle of Fu Manchu. The prints are vastly superior to other versions I've seen and the DVD extras are AWESOME. There are cool menus, a delectable "easter egg", fun domestic and international trailers, poster galleries, still galleries, press material galleries, informative bios, and excellent inteviews with the stars, the director, and the producer. There is also "The Facts of Dr. Fu Manchu" which provides great insight ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do not attempt to watch without the help of MST3K
Fu Manchu's evil plan? Control the world's oceans by making . . . ice! I think that was the plot anyway. It's hard to tell since not a darn thing in the movie makes any sense. Fu seems to need some scientist's help, but the man has a bad heart. So Fu kidnaps a heart surgeon and has him replace the man's heart with one from a perfectly healthy young man. So the scientists is still alive, but we never find out why that is so important. He never actually does anything. The British eventually find Fu and foil ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Richly Historical
The evil villain, Fu Manchu is said to be evil incarnate. Check this out: "Imagine a person, tall, lean and feline, high-shouldered, with a brow like Shakespeare and a face like Satan, a close-shaven skull, and long, magnetic eyes of the true cat-green. Invest him with all the cruel cunning of an entire Eastern race, accumulated in one giant intellect, with all the resources of science past and present, with all the resources, if you will, of a wealthy government--which, however, already has denied all knowledge ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - For MST3K fans with an IMDB rating of 3.3
That about says it all put the name Jess Franco and you'll know your in for either a dull time or a weird time. His exploitation films like Ilsa the Wicked Warden and others are fun to watch because he at least is able to work around some plot and action with shameless nudity to keep the viewer interested.

This movie has none of it!!!! Also don't get fooled by the other reviews praising this mess, it's a badly acted, badly directed movie that puts the talents of Christopher Lee to shame. This is ... Read More
