The Fiendish Plot of Dr Fu Manchu (1980)
Director: Piers Haggard
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Sadly, this final movie from Sellers is also one of his worst. Most of the jokes one anticipates seconds before they occur; many are of the ethnic stereotype sort; the visual running gag palls at its second appearance. Co-star Helen Mirren continues her determined bid to give up acting for the role of ripest screen-tease sex object of the '80s.Author: RM
