The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu

"The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu" at first view seems like a lost cause - a slapped-together, throw-away, do-what-you-want star-ego mess earned through star Peter Sellers' 70s Pink Panther popularity and renaissance.

Why do people give films bad reviews? Generally speaking, it's not because the movies were made on a skimpy budget or because the director gave certain cast members far too many close-ups or because the photographer's choice of camera angles particularly favored some cast member with whom he was conducting an illicit affair.

I have watched this movie over and over again on VHS and will now order the DVD. I die laughing every time I see it.

"The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu" was the last project made by the great Peter Sellers.

What a weird swansong indeed. Still worth watching, if you like Sellers.

The film comedian Peter Sellers chose some rather poor films after a while. His box office appeal and professional reputation would sink to low depths.

I saw this with my dad when I was 10. He is a huge Peter Sellers fan and therefore took me, and anyone who wanted to go, to see every Pink Panther movie.

Whilst not a Sellers classic I still feel this film did have a certain touch of Sellers genius about it. Alas it appears the majority of the reviewers here have never watched the Christopher Lee Fu Manchu films.

I don't have much to say about this movie. It could have been a wonderful tour-de-force for Peter Sellers, but it is one of the most tragic misfires in movie history.
