Created in part to cater to the "Yellow Peril" hysteria of the time, the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu appeared in a series of novels by British author Sax Rohmer from 1913 to 1959. The character caught the interest of the reading public and has been featured extensively in cinema, television, radio, and comics for over 100 years. Fu Manchu has become an archetypical evil criminal genius.

Very popular in print, it wasn't long before film versions came along. First up was a silent 1923 UK serial, "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu", quickly followed in 1924 by "The Further Mysteries of Dr. Fu Manchu", both by Stoll Picture Productions and starring H. Agar Lyons as Fu Manchu .

Hollywood beckoned and the franchise moved to the United States with Paramount's 1929 talkie, "The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu" with Warner Oland as Fu Manchu. The film proved popular and was followed the next year with "The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu" and "Daughter of the Dragon", again with Warner Oland as Fu Manchu, the latter featuring Anna May Wong as the titular offspring. Paramount wrapped up the series in 1932 with "The Mask of Fu Manchu" starring Boris Karloff as the insidious Fu Manchu and Myrna Loy as his wicked daughter.

In 1940 Republic released a 15 part serial, "Drums of Fu Manchu", later edited and released as a feature film in 1943.

In 1956 a syndicated 13 episode series, "The Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu", was produced by the Republic Pictures subsidiary, Hollywood Television Service.

The franchise was resurrected with 1965's Seven Arts Pictures production "The Face of Fu Manchu", which starred Christopher Lee as Fu Manchu. Lee starred in four more Fu Manchu films, culminating with 1969's "The Castle of Fu Manchu".

Who's Who
  • Dr. Fu Manchu
    In the early books, Fu Manchu is an agent of the secret society, the Si-Fan and acts as the mastermind behind a wave of assassinations targeting Western imperialists. In later books, he vies for control of the Si-Fan which is more concerned with routing Fascist dictators and halting the spread of Communism. The Si-Fan is funded through criminal activities, particularly the drug trade and white slavery. Fu Manchu has extended his already considerable lifespan by use of the elixir vitae, a formula he spent decades trying to perfect. Fu Manchu claims to hold doctorates from four Western universities.

  • Sir Denis Nayland Smith
    In the first three books, Smith is a colonial police commissioner in Burma granted a roving commission which allows him to exercise authority over any group that can help him in his mission. He resembles Sherlock Holmes in physical description and acerbic manner but not in deductive genius. When the series was resumed in the early 1930s, Smith is Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard. He later resigns this post and accepts a position with British Intelligence. Several books have him placed on special assignment with the FBI.

  • Dr. Petrie
    Smith's friend who accompanies him on his adventures. Like Dr. Watson in the Sherlock Holmes stories, he narrates the early tales.

  • Kâramančh
    One of Fu Manchu's agents is the "seductively lovely" Kâramančh. Her real name is unknown. She was sold to the Si-Fan by Egyptian slave traders while still a child. She falls in love with Dr. Petrie and rescues him and Smith many times. Eventually the couple are united and she wins her freedom. They marry and have a daughter, Fleurette, who figures in later novels.

  • Fah lo Suee
    Fu Manchu's daughter, Fah lo Suee, is a devious mastermind in her own right, frequently plotting to usurp her father's position in the Si-Fan and aiding his enemies within and outside of the organization. Her real name is unknown; Fah lo Suee was a childhood term of endearment. She was introduced anonymously while still a teenager in the third book in the series and plays a larger role in several of the later titles.

    In London, Ronald Petrie and his fiancée, Joan Marshall, meet celebrated Chinese dancer Princess Ling Moy and discover that her manager Morloff lives next to them. At the same time, Chinese detective Ah Kee has traced Fu Manchu to London, even though Fu Manchu was reported dead twenty years earlier. On his advice, Scotland Yard warns the Petrie family, against whom Fu Manchu had sworn vengeance. Fu Manchu infiltrates the Petrie house, however, and kills Ronald's father Sir John. Mortally wounded by Ah Kee, Fu Manchu escapes through a secret tunnel into the home of Morloff, who is his comrade. Before he dies, Fu Manchu reveals to Ling Moy that she is his daughter and commissions her to complete his revenge against the Petries, whom he wrongly blames for the death of his wife and son. Although Ling Moy has fallen in love with Ronald, she attempts to kill him, with the help of Morloff's servant, Lu Chung, but they are thwarted by Ah Kee and the butler, Rogers, who are unable to identify the figures fleeing in the dark house. Unaware of Ling Moy's relation to Fu Manchu, Ah Kee has fallen in love with her, and he beseeches her to return to China with him. Ah Kee, however, is held prisoner by Ling Moy and Morloff after he discovers his wine is drugged, and Ling Moy reveals her heritage. Ronald and Joan are then held captive in Morloff's basement, and Ling Moy prepares to torture Joan with acid unless Ronald kills her himself. Bound in a turret, Ah Kee sees Sir Basil Courtney of Scotland Yard on the grounds and leaps out of a window to warn him of Ronald's danger. Ling Moy escapes into the Petrie house, and Rogers and Ronald rush there, finally aware of the passageways. Rogers shoots Morloff's dangerous chinese servant, Lu Chung, when he emerges, and Ronald grabs Ling Moy. She is about to kill him, however, when Ah Kee, although severely wounded from his fall, shoots her, then dies next to the woman he loved.

    Sir Lionel Barton must find the tomb of Genghis Khan before it is discovered by Fu Manchu, who will use its contents for his own evil purposes. Sir Lionel is kidnapped by Fu's emissaries. Sir Lionel's daughter Sheila tells Smith that she plans to search for the tomb herself. Meanwhile, at Fu's headquarters in the Far East, the doctor tries to cajole and bribe Sir Lionel to reveal the secret and even offers him his daughter, Fah Lo See, but Sir Lionel refuses. While Sir Lionel then undergoes Fu's fiendish "torture of the bell," Sheila and the men of the expedition find the tomb. When the group meets up with Smith, he warns them that Fu may strike at any moment, hoping to gain possession of the sword and mask of Genghis Khan, which were found in the tomb. Terrence Granville, Sheila's fiancé, finds a human hand wearing Sir Lionel's ring, after which one of Fu's underlings invites him to meet Fu. Though Terry knows it is foolish, he agrees to go to Fu's headquarters, carrying the sword and mask. Fah Lo See, who is attracted to Terry, orders her father's men to whip him when the sword turns out not to be genuine. She wants to make love to him later but is stopped by Fu, who has other things in mind for Terry. Fu then has Sir Lionel's body delivered to the expedition's compound and Smith sadly reveals that he had made the phony relics to fool Fu. Smith tells his colleague, Von Berg, that he must go away, then enters an opium den, where he sees a man with the dragon tattoo of Fu on his shoulder. Smith follows the man and finds the secret entrance to Fu's headquarters. After Fu discovers Smith, Smith demands the release of Terry just as Terry is about to be injected by Fu with a serum that will make him totally subject to the doctor's will. Fu prepares the serum and tells Terry that it is the smallest dose, so that he will be himself again for Fah Lo See. Soon Terry, under the influence of the drug, goes to Sheila. Sheila suspects that Terry has been drugged when he blankly asks for the real sword and mask but she and Von Berg still go with him and are captured by Fu's men. At Fu's headquarters, Sheila sees Fah Lo See with Terry and tries to get him out of his stupor. He does awaken but Fu orders Sheila taken away and prepared as a human sacrifice to the gods. The next morning, as Sheila lies on the sacrificial table, Smith breaks free from his crocodile infested cell and frees Terry. Together they then free Von Berg and tamper with Fu's electricity machine, sending an electrical charge to the sword, apparently killing Fu. While Terry rescues Sheila, Smith and Von Berg use the machine to electrocute Fu's men. On the boat back to England, Smith decides to throw the evil sword overboard.

  • "Drums of Fu Manchu" - Republic (1940) - B&W - For Sale
    15-episode serial, later edited and released as a feature film in 1943
    Fu Manchu, leader of the Si Fan, schemes to foment revolution in Asia as the first step in his plot to achieve world domination. Fu's evil designs are carried out by a gang of bald and robotic henchmen, each of whom bears a scar on his forehead as a result of Fu's surgical brain alterations. Fu is aided by his daughter Fah-Lo-Suee, an evil seductress who lures men to their doom with the help of powerful incense. To succeed in his plot, Fu must locate and secure the lost sceptre of Genghis Khan, for only then will the Asiatic hill tribes accept him as their leader and follow him into war against the British forces. Although Nayland Smith pursues Fu halfway around the globe, the Si Fan gang succeed in murdering all who attempt to thwart them, including the eminent archaeologist Professor Parker, who had studied an ancient tablet known as the Dalai Plaque in order to solve the mystery of the sceptre's location in Genghis Khan's massive tomb. Parker's son Allan joins forces with Smith, and eventually they are aided by Mary Randolph, whose father was the curator of the museum from which the Dalai Plaque was subsequently stolen by Fu's henchmen. Fu succeeds in translating the tablet and discovers the precise location of the sceptre. Followed by Smith, Allan and Mary, Fu travels to the Himalayan tomb of Genghis Khan, finds the sceptre and prepares to make use of its power, but is confronted by the intrepid Smith and Allan. After a number of narrow escapes from the wrath of Fu, Allan recovers the sceptre and proves to the Asiatic tribesmen that Fu's power is an illusion. Smith presents the sceptre to the British colonial government, and the rebellious hill people, seeing the sceptre in the hands of the legitimate power, immediately become tranquil.

    In London, Fu Manchu and his evil daughter, Lin Tang, kidnap Professor Muller, a German biochemist who has distilled a new, highly lethal gas from the seeds of a Tibetan poppy. In a radio broadcast, Fu announces that he intends to use the poison gas to gain world domination. The professor's daughter, Maria, informs Nayland Smith of her father's abduction, thus confirming Smith's suspicion that Fu masterminded the kidnaping, despite seeing Fu beheaded several years earlier. Fu kidnaps Maria to force Muller to produce more gas, whereupon Muller insists that to do so he needs some papers located in the British Museum in the possession of Professor Gaskell. Carl Jansen, Professor Muller's assistant who has also been kidnapped, escapes from his captors and warns Smith that Fu's men intend to break into the British Museum. The papers are not found so Fu hypnotizes Gaskell, abducts him, and forces him to work with Muller. To show the effect of the poison gas, Fu poisons an entire village. Smith loods Fu's hideout in a tunnel under the Thames and rescues Maria, only to learn that Fu has escaped and taken Muller hostage. Guessing that thehe is bound for Tibet to collect more poppy seeds, Smith lays a trap for him. Muller is rescued, and Fu, Lin Tang, and the rest of the gang presumably perish in an explosion.

    As part of his plan for world domination, Fu has kidnapped the daughters of 12 political or industrial figures. Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie are unable to prevent the kidnaping of Marie Lentz, a famed scientist's daughter, who is brought to Fu's North African headquarters in the Sahara, where Fu possesses a death ray. Smith, Dr. Petrie, and Marie's fiancé, Franz Baumer, make their way to Fu's temple but the death ray apparatus has already been set on a destructive course. Fu's "brides" barricade the doors against him and assist Smith and Dr. Petrie in resetting the death ray's tracking device and the temple explodes after they have escaped. As he watches, Smith believes he hears the words, "the world will hear from me again," coming to him across the desert.

    Nayland Smith is in Paris helping to set up INTERPOL. Meanwhile, the supposedly dead Fu Manchu returns to his ancestral palace in China with his daughter Lin Tang and plots the formation of an international crime syndicate. He begins by kidnaping a famous surgeon, Dr. Lieberson, and his daughter Maria, whom he threatens to kill unless the doctor transforms the face of a prisoner into the likeness of Smith. In Hong Kong, Mafia leader Rudy Moss is negotiating with other leading criminals to assist Fu but his activities are being monitored by Shanghai police. When the real Smith is abducted and brought to Fu's palace, his double is shipped to London where, under a hypnotic trance, he murders Smith's Chinese servant. The double is then sentenced to the gallows and Fu makes plans to synchronize Smith's own death with the time of the execution. The surveillance of Moss has revealed Fu's scheme, however, and Hong Kong Inspector Ramos and FBI agent Mark Weston fight their way into Fu's palace to rescue the prisoners. The palace explodes, but from the ruins comes the voice of Fu promising that he will be heard from again.

The Yellow Peril: Dr. Fu Manchu and the Rise of Chinaphobia by Christopher Frayling (2014) - For Sale
Yellow Peril
An entirely new perspective on current scaremongering about China's global ambitions, and on the Western media's ignorance of Chinese culture.
A hundred years ago, a character who was to enter the bloodstream of 20th-century popular culture made his first appearance in the world of literature. In his day he became as well known as Count Dracula or Sherlock Holmes: he was the evil genius called Dr. Fu Manchu, described at the beginning of the first story in which he appeared as "the yellow peril incarnate in one man."
Why did the idea that the Chinese were a threat to Western civilization develop at precisely the time when China was in chaos, divided against itself, the victim of successive famines and utterly incapable of being a "peril" to anyone even if it had wanted to be? Even the author of the Dr. Fu Manchu novels, Sax Rohmer, acknowledged that China, "as a nation possess that elusive thing, poise."
And what do the Chinese themselves make of all this? Is it any wonder that they remember what we have carelessly forgotten-the opium wars; the "unfair treaties" that ceded Hong Kong and the New Territories; and the stereotyping of Chinese people in allegedly factual studies?
Here cultural historian Christopher Frayling takes us to the heart of popular culture in the music hall, pulp literature, and the mass-market press, and shows how film amplifies our assumptions.
