if you've seen it, I'm sure you understand - and nothing more needs saying...
the "Chinese" signs/computer displays are INSANE!!! the death rays are INSANE!!! the characters are INSANE!!! the Chinese general's rotating hallucination chamber is INSANE!!!!!! he sounds German
Just watched it. Definitely goofy. It always seemed so strange to me that, from the 1920s all the way to the '60s, Hollywood movies would use European or British (Caucasian) actors to play "Oriental" roles. All the lesser roles will be played by actual Asian actors, but the principals will be Westerners under heavy makeup. Crazy.
That had to be the fastest brainwashing I've ever seen. Five minutes with Dr. Arnn and her magical electric fan with colored lights, and you're a Commie!
I don't see how you thought this was goofy. The Chinese general was a madman and he almost destroyed the USA. Thankfully our heroes saved the day at the end. I felt like I was watching a James Bond movie
