_____


Number three in the steady decline of the Christopher Lee series featuring Sax Rohmer's indestructible oriental villain. Fu kidnaps a famous surgeon and his daughter and compels him to use plastic surgery in the creation of a look-alike for Fu's arch enemy, Nayland Smith (Douglas Wilmer).

The double does things which Smith gets blamed for, hence Smith is discredited.

Directed by Jeremy Summers from a screenplay by Harry Allan Towers. Starring Tsai Chin, Howard Marion-Crawford, Horst Frank, and Maria Rohm. American release prints were in black-and-white. Directed by Jeremy Summers.

Poor Count Dooku. He certainly put up with a lot to stay in front of the camera in his younger days. Sad

The constant zooms are in the original movie. They're a trademark of Jess Franco's filmmaking style. His films generally have cheap production values, pretty natural scenery, and plenty of pretty women in various states of undress.
