The Castle of Fu Manchu
27,49 €
The final entry in the five-film cycle reviving Sax Rohmer’s Chinese super-villain, Fu Manchu, from maverick British producer and writer Harry Alan Towers (Count Dracula).
Jesús Franco (Vampyros Lesbos, Lorna the Exorcist) is back in the director’s chair for The Castle of Fu Manchu, a delirious tale of eco-terrorism. Christopher Lee (The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll) again stars as the diabolical antagonist who plots with his sadistic daughter Lin Tang (Tsai Chin, Casino Royale) to control the weather and freeze the world’s oceans using a special chemical compound.
Nayland Smith (Richard Greene, The Adventures of Robin Hood) and Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford, Gideon’s Day) are dispatched by Interpol to trace the evil mastermind. They travel to Istanbul where they encounter a local opium kingpin Omar Pashu (José Manuel Martín, The Sinister Eyes of Dr. Orloff) and his beautiful female bodyguard Lisa (Rosalba Neri, The French Sex Murders, Amuck!), before uncovering Fu Manchu’s lair in Anatolia, where a deadly confrontation ensues…
