(1956) - B&W - 27 min
The LikeTelevision™ classic tv channel proudly presents The Adventures of Dr. Fu Manchu - our next installment is an episode titled The Master Plan of Dr. Fu Manchu. The evil Doctor Fu Manchu is planning give Adolf Hitler a new face via plastic surgery so he can resume his diabolical plot to create a master race. First, unsuspecting plastic surgeon gets kidnapped - and then horror or horrors, he is forced to operate on the top Nazi whacko of all time, Adolf Hitler. This episode is more humorous than scary, you'll love those German accents. Glen Gordon plays the diabolical Dr. Fu Manchu - a non Asian actor who does his level best to be Chinese. He delivers his lines in classic fashion, carefully choosing his phrases with very slow delivery as if he were some ancient Chinese Kung Fu master. Do your best to keep from laughing out loud - but you will fail, because it really is just too funny.

While most folks think that Mike Myers' series of Austin Powers movies is solely based on the James Bond brand, it sure looks like he was very much inspired by this old 1956 TV show. Dr. Evil speaks a lot like Dr. Fu Manchu, who also has an evil mini me sidekick (just like Verne Troyer in Austin Powers). Kolb, played by John George is ready to do whatever Fu Manchu wants. And Fu Manchu also has a terrific female cohort name Karamaneh, played by Laurette Luez. Listen closely and you will see that even Dr. Fu Manchu has a hard time saying her name (it sounds a little different every time - HA). So how do you pronounce her name? Well, it sounds like "car enema" and it really is a pain in the butt to pronounce. For some reason we do not fully understand, everyone here just loved this classic tv gem.

Part one
Intro, Intro, B&W, credits, etc. - as always, each Dr. Fu Manchu episode begins with sinister voice over telling you what a bum Dr. Fu is as he plays a game of chess. In this episode, The Man of Dr. Fu Manchu, acclaimed plastic surgeon Dr. Harlow Henderson is kidnapped, so he can do a facial reconstruction on Adolf Hitler, who has a scheme to resume his master race idea with Dr. Fu Manchu.

Part two
The world will certainly fall into total chaos if that diabolical Hitler gets the financial backing he needs from the insanely rich Dr. Fu Manchu. Good thing Sir Lester Matthews is on the case. Will the Hitler / Dr. Fu Manchu's atomic bomb plot succeed? Check it out, WMDs in the hands of mad men terrorists - circa 1956.
