They will give me no more opium!


This has gotta be Christopher Lee's worst film. One of Jess Franco's, too.

I busted out laughing during the scene in which Fu's daughter, Lin Tang (Tsai Chin), is meeting with Omar Pasha (José Manuel Martín). They're discussing stealing a hoard of opium from a Turkish castle. Suddenly -- apropos of nothing -- a frantic, wild-eyed man stumbles into the room, crying "They will give me no more opium!"... upon which Rosalba Neri (Omar's butch female henchperson) stabs the guy and kills him. Omar and Lin Tang then calmly resume their discussion.

There's just something weirdly funny about that scene. Cracked me up. (It's cut out of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, by the way.)
