Jesús Franco is back in the director’s chair for The Castle of Fu Manchu, a delirious tale of eco-terrorism. Christopher Lee again stars as the diabolical antagonist who plots with his sadistic daughter Lin Tang (Tsai Chin) to control the weather and freeze the world’s oceans using a special chemical compound. Nayland Smith (Richard Greene) and Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford) are dispatched by Interpol to trace the evil mastermind. They travel to Istanbul where they encounter a local opium kingpin Omar Pashu (José Manuel Martín) and his beautiful female bodyguard Lisa (Rosalba Neri), before uncovering Fu Manchu’s lair in Anatolia, where a deadly confrontation ensues… (Powerhouse Films)
