"Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film."

Ah, the days when Occidentals played Asians....Not so long ago actually. Peter Sellers played Fu Manchu in 1980 (The Fiendish Plot of Fu Manchu, his last film, I think, not including the outtakes that were flung into that lame Pink Panther thing released 2 years after his death), and Spanish horror star Paul Naschy played Fu Manchu in 1990 (La Hija de Fu-Manchu). These are just two tidbits of arcane info found at The Movies of Fu Manchu, a repository of graphics, posters, promo pieces and other neat stuff. Part of a larger Fu Manchu site.
