The Fu Manchu Cycle, 1965 – 1969 – Powerhouse Indicator limited edition box set has been announced as it was immediately propelled to the No.1 Blu-ray seller top spot on Amazon.co.uk‘s website!
MOVIES and MANIA owner Adrian J Smith and contributor David Flint recorded a socially-distanced audio commentary just yesterday for The Blood of Fu Manchu. In doing so, we discussed many of the issues surrounding author Sax Rohmer’s notorious supervillain character, Christopher Lee’s now-controversial ‘yellowface’ role as Fu Manchu, the careers of director Jess Franco, producer Harry Alan Towers and all the main cast involved, plus the historical context of the film itself within the 1960s fad for James Bond-fuelled action-adventure spies and supervillains.
