While looking through a book on old movies, I came across a photo of Christopher Lee as FU MANCHU, standing next to a female protoganist. She had her wrists chained above her head. Her blouse is opened up, exposing her breasts. I don't recall seeing this in the Fu Manchu movies. Does anyone know what C. Lee Fu Manchu movie is this one?
shareNope, can't help I'm afraid.
share"Kiss and Kill" was the 4th in the Chris Lee Fu Manchu series (1968). It followed "Vengeance of ..." (1967) and was followed by "Castle of ..." (1969). Why the "Kiss and Kill" title I have no idea.
FYI, having seen the 1st 2 and read about the other 3 I can say "Face of ...", the 1st one, was the best. By today's MTV standards it is a bit slow, but the story, acting and overall production values were terrific. One review summed up the series as a case of diminishing returns. From what I know, I agree. Douglass Wilmer who played Sir Dennis Nayland Smith in "Brides of..." couldn't hold a candle to the late Nigel Green in the same role in "Face".

That shot of Christopher Lee next to a chained female was probably a promotional shot of 'The Blood of Fu Manchu' aka 'Kiss and Kill.' Promotional shots were photos that the promoters thought would best sell the film. But the shot didn't necessarily appear in the movie. They probably opted to have Christopher Lee stand next to a bare-breasted girl as the best way to promote 'The Blood of Fu Manchu.' Women are chained by their wrists in this movie but not in the others in the Fu Manchu series.
