the fiendish plot of dr. fu manchu star peter seller in a spoof of the character create by sax rohmer be an injustice to the end of seller career . the plot be very simplistic and and if do the right way could have be handle nicely and but instead it be poorly execute . part of the reason why this film wasn not that good be the poor dialog and cheap laugh and choppy directing and and an awkward feeling that the film be somewhat incomplete . the acting and on the other hand and be really the only thing that keep my interest during this mixed up picture . i find seller portrayal of diabolical manchu brilliantly do and with the occasional line that will be remember . for example and there be the scene where fu manchu be confuse which henchman be which in which he say ah and you all look the same to me . i hate to admit it and but i laugh out loud with that line . then of course a fistful of strong support character really catch my attention with the like of helen mirren a the backstabbing constable and david tomilson a sir roger avery ( his last film as well and not a way to end a career ) and and sid ceasar ( who give a rather whimsical performance of al capone relative who work for the fbi ) . these character also keep me watch . the set be also nice . oriental design and english society in 1933 be depict with elegance in this dud of a picture . in all honesty and my advice to you be to watch the film if you be a peter seller or sid ceasar fan . otherwise and youre good off settle on chew aluminum foil .
