Things take a decidedly weird turn in The Blood of Fu Manchu, the fourth entry in the five-film cycle reviving Sax Rohmer’s Chinese super-villain, Fu Manchu, from maverick British producer and writer Harry Alan Towers. Directed by the prolific Spaniard Jesús Franco, The Blood of Fu Manchu sees the Oriental overlord operating from a laboratory deep within the South American jungle. With the help of his sadistic daughter Lin Tang, Fu Manchu connives to create a deadly pandemic by deploying ten beautiful women whose lips are laced with killer venom… Nayland Smith (Richard Greene) becomes infected, but his ever-loyal Man Friday Dr Petrie (Howard Marion-Crawford) leads the international efforts to find an antidote and bring down Fu Manchu.
