VENGEANCE OF FU MANCHU 1967 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

Finally Warner has turned out some of the Fu Manchu movies.

Christopher Lee again helms the lead role as Fu and lovely Tsia Chin is his evil and sadistic daughter, Lin Tang.

This time around Manchu decides to turn a condemned man into a replica of his arch nemesis, Nayland Smith and have him arrested for murder. What a plot idea this is!!

Smith is played this time by Douglas Wilmer and returning as Dr. Petrie is Howard Marion Crawford. There is plenty of action and intrigue as well as torture. Included in the supporting cast is sexy Maria Rohm, Suzanne Roquette whose character of the daughter of a kidnapped doctor gets branded and stretched on a rack before the fun is over, Horst Frank and Mona Chong as Jasmine.

Good pulp adventure fun in a very nice widescreen print. Recommended!!
