The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu (1980)

The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu is a 1980 comedy film, notable as the final film of Peter Sellers, David Tomlinson and John Le Mesurier. Pre-production began with Richard Quine as director. By the time the film entered production, Piers Haggard had replaced him. Peter Sellers handled the re-shoots himself. Based on characters created by Sax Rohmer, the film stars Sellers in the dual role of Fu Manchu, a stereotypical Chinese evil genius, and English country gentleman detective Nayland Smith (he also appears in an uncredited cameo as a Mexican bandito). Released less than a month after his death and despite it being the last film Sellers appeared in while he was alive, the film was a commercial and critical failure. It was also the final film appearance for Tomlinson, who retired shortly before its release and died in 2000.
