Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu and a plot involving a bevy of nubile beauties killing heads of Governments with poison kisses.Surely your set for an enjoyably kitch Hammer film.Sadly no and the reason is probably Jesus(or "Jess" as he's billed here)Franco.This film is every bit as awful as everyone says it is.Put simply there are no redeeming features.Badly made in every possible way and worst of all utterly boring.Lee does very little and what he does makes no sense.I only managed about 45 minutes of this tripe before giving up.I refuse to believe anyone has sat through the entire running time unless they were tied to a chair or have masocistic tendencies.Incredibly the same team made another Fu Manchu film which is said to be even worse-which must've taken some doing!
