This time a plastic surgeon and his attractive daughter are
abducted, as part of Fu's fiendish plan to wreak his wicked
will upon the world. Soon replicas of the upright Commissioner
are popping up committing crimes.
Can the force for good outwit the evil one?
As the film develops it's obvious the number of Chinese extras
and ornate Oriental settings are beyond the resources of a
British or German studio.
In fact they are very familiar. If you view any of the countless
Kung Fu movies shot at Run Run Shaw's studios in Hong Kong
you'll recognize them. They add much needed vitality into
the action scenes and interest in the scenic ones.
It is a pity Jeremy Summers directs the action scenes instead
of one of the studio directors.
They know how to shoot fight scenes… and he doesn't.
Compared with its predecessors Vengeance Of Fu Manchu is
disappointing.
Conclusion: 60% Extras: 20%.
