MST3K - Best of "The Castle of Fu Manchu"

My favourite parts from "The Castle of Fu Manchu", a badly-made movie suffering from weird editing, colour issues, and a really dull plot. In my opinion, this movie is one of the worst (if not the worst) featured on the show. The writers of MST3K did a good job considering what they had to work with.

There are so many reasons to hate this movie. First, the opening scene of this movie was actually stolen from the climax of the previous movie in the series (how cheap can you get?) Then they introduce Rosalba Neri as some sort of awesome androgynous ass-kicking character, and they do nothing with her! She dies at the end like a little bitch. They don't even let her die in battle! Unforgivable!

I found her character interesting, yet they squandered her. What a shame.

what the hell!? you cut out the bicycle seat joke!!!!!! It was the dirtiest joke i've ever heard joel say on the show (and the whole reason i watched this). very disappointed. The way servo cuts him off and scolds him makes the joke freakin hilarious

Ahh, you're right. I did. I guess you and I have different senses of humour.

Now that you mention it, though, I wish I did include it :)

@JayDee284 you said it maybe he told them to mail him his check

[walmartgoof]

@DrThunder88 yes sadly it is even he couldn't save this awful film

To me, the best part of the Castle of Fu Manchu, are the host segments. The episode starts with them throwing a frollicking band party which eventually degrades into a pre-suicide cry fest.

@theproplady that, and it's up there with Manos and other infamously boring movies, with long stretches where I have to keep my brain stem from curling like bacon in a pan

Re: the color issues

I've heard rumors that in Europe the distributors hated the washed-out blur this flick is so much that they had monochrome prints made (!) to hide it.

"Castle of Fu Manchu" killed off a semi-decent series of period B-movies about the character, all starring Christopher Lee as the title villan. This was the one they goofed on, because they hired one of the most inconsistent schlock directors Spain ever produced.
