Curiosidades
Peter Sellers had such a weak heart that he was advised not to make this movie at all. He ignored that advice and did the movie anyway. Chillingly prophetic was part of the story-line where Dr. Fu Manchu keeps his heart beating by intermittently giving himself electric shocks. This movie was Sellers' final movie. It debuted about two weeks after Sellers' death in London on 24 July 1980.

Pifias
Fu Manchu states he is reminded of the musical San Francisco (1936) and its stars. That film was not released until 1936. However, as stated in the opening credits the date of this film is "possibly around 1933", so such anachronism can be written off.

Citas
Fu Manchu: Nayland Smith again. That is very good news...
Servant: Why is it good news, master?
Fu Manchu: Because I'm in no condition to receive bad news. I shall fine you each 1000 yen.
Servant: But you don't pay us, master.
Fu Manchu: Then I shall start paying you in order to fine you.

Surrealism not for the weak-at-heart/mind

Admittedly this movie is unusual, for a start, and may not Sellers' great exit as many had hoped, but there are still incontrovertible facts that remain:

It is one of the few movies I've seen to ever ATTEMPT a throwaway trompe l'oiel, and it achieves it so smoothly and incidentally that I had to rewind it just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. (Clue: Lawnmower, Door, Bust)

The incongruity of dialogue with context was delicious! I mean how can you say a movie where "Queen Elizabeth" languorously - almost ludicrously - prepares to play her sax for Fu Manchu is a loss?

Three Words: My Chinese Buffet.

Three More Words: Japanese Elvis Show.

And the beauty is that I've told you all of this, and I've spoiled absolutely none. Try not to bash it for what it is not, because there is a GREAT deal to what it is.
