Many of us remember Christopher Lee way before he was Count Dooku or Saruman, as a B actor best know for his Hammer "Dracula" films. Here's a chance to see Chris in his former glory: as a stereotypical Asian villain complete with slanted eyes, a "Fu Manchu" mustache (well, I guess he *is* playing Fu Manchu here) and looking embarrassed in a bad, bad movie.
This experiment gets a bad rap - it's actually pretty funny.

323- THE CASTLE OF FU-MANCHU
First shown: 1/18/92
Opening: The SOL's Teen Club
Invention exchange: The bots offer an extremely useful telephone transducer chip, while all Joel has is the big head (again), the Joe Besser "Stinky" Bomb
Host segment 1: Crow decries "The Miss Saigon Syndrome," J&TB become distraught, the Mads are pleased
Host segment 2: The Shriner Flying Carpet sketch collapses into weeping; delighted, the Mads order out
Host segment 3: The bots are inconsolable, Joel tries to cheer them up with the story of Fu-Manchu, but the pain becomes too much. The Mads celebrate
End: J&TB are utterly beaten, the Mads toast their victory and are so cocky they try to riff the film themselves! Gotcha!
Stinger: Monkey pile on the castle guard!

I'm with dleemiller - brutal. It was mumbly, irrational, and confusing. I kept re-watching parts because I just couldn't fathom what the hell was happening. This just hurts more - it don't make sense. I'm pretty sure this is the worst thing I ever watched - truly deep hurting.
Thanks for making the effort to get this out there - I have been wanting to see this for years. I think there is something wrong with me.  |
| just watched this one. it was especially brutal... maybe the worst movie I've ever seen. thanks for the up! |
Moving on up the list, thanks again to Alleged, I missed this one when it aired back in 1996, and have been kicking myself for over 12 years!
Also thanks Crocolyle for going out of your way to get that source to MALDATA even if it wasn't used  |
| Oops, my mistake...I sent a copy of FU to Maltada a few months back, and thought it was used for this one. Didn't realize it was you who released it, Alleged, and not Maldata. My apologies! |
| ???? This was actually one of my tapes. |
I'm so glad he was able to use my tape for the video.
But this will be--unless I find something I didn't know about--my last source tape for the MST3K-DAP project. Unless a v2/v3 call goes out, that is... |
Thanks Alleged!
We still need 3x09 (Amazing Colossal Man) on DVD as well, no? |
| Thank you! |
| Thank you for this |
Picking up the slack for agentcooper (or trying to steal his spot), here's whats left:
0101 The Crawling Eye
0108 The Slime People
0110 Robot Holocaust
0111 Moon Zero Two
