    Part historical adventure, part crime-revenge thriller, and sharing elements of Hammer's horror films, The Terror of the Tongs portrays exotic villains and shocking violence in a plot which unfolds at breakneck speed. Penned by the great Jimmy Sangster, the film is set in British-occupied Hong Kong, and concerns one man's crusade to crush the feared Red Dragon Tong gang who had brutally murdered his daughter. The Terror of the Tongs was the first film in which star Christopher Lee received top-billing in a role that he clearly relished, as Chung King, the sadistic head of the Red Dragon Tong. It was one that would also serve as a dry run for one of his most famous character portrayals in the later Fu Manchu series of films.

    Things take a decidedly weird turn in The Blood of Fu Manchu, the fourth entry in the five-film cycle reviving Sax Rohmer's Chinese super-villain, Fu Manchu, from maverick British producer and writer Harry Alan Towers (Circus of Fear). Directed by the prolific Spaniard Jesús Franco (The Awful Dr. Orloff, Oasis of the Zombies), The Blood of Fu Manchu sees the Oriental overlord operating from a laboratory deep within the South American jungle. With the help of his sadistic daughter Lin Tang (Tsai Chin, The Virgin Soldiers), Fu Manchu connives to create a deadly pandemic by deploying ten beautiful women whose lips are laced with killer venom Nayland Smith (Richard Greene, The Adventures of Robin Hood) becomes infected, but his ever-loyal Man Friday Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford, Gideon's Day) leads the international efforts to find an antidote and bring down Fu Manchu.
