Boris Karloff takes one his most celebrated cinematics turn as the diabolical fiend Dr. Fu Manchu, and Myrna Loy plays his exotic daughter in this 1932 cult horror classic. This time, the evil Fu Manchu patiently awaits the discovery of Genghis Khan’s tomb. For he is certain that possession of Khan’s mask and sword will enable him to rule the East and lead it to victory over the hated Western world. When British scientists in the Gobi Desert discover the tomb, Fu captures and tortures them in his elaborate Torture Garden, hoping they will take him to the treasure he craves. But an unexpected traitor has other plans for the doctor. Based on Sax Rohmer’s original story “The Mask of Fu Manchu” is “fast moving and humorous” (Halliwell’s Film Guide) and full of pre-code suspense! The film is presented in its original, uncut theatrical release version as first seen in 1932.

Complete at last! I've seen a 35mm print but it was the short version. More Myrna naughty antics!

Yes! And I am one of them!!!

 

[Capt D McMars]

Karloff & Myrna Loy...oh yes, you will be mine!!

And it’s an MGM title.

I am looking so forward to this. Not only the complete version, but I just know it will look better than it has since its original release.

I'm pretty sure that the DVD was the full version as well. A much wanted title. I was wondering if political correctness would prove to be awkward for this title, but when Tarzan The Ape Man was released, I started to think that it might happen. Hopefully we'll get The Teahouse Of The August Moon (1956) soon. Anyway, lots of camp fun.

They left out Charles Starrett as Myrna Loy's lust object in the cast list in the press announcement though he is listed on the cover. He went on to become the Durango Kid in countless Columbia B westerns.

 

[Broomy]

Looking forward to this one. MGM pre code horror with some HD merrie Melodie’s thrown in for good measure. What’s not to like?!

 

[dana martin]

Holding out hope that The Return of Doctor X gets announced this year as well

The DVD and laser disc also contained the 68 minute "full" version. The VHS had the shorter version.

Extremely entertaining, totally over-the-top adventure-fantasy mayhem. The cast is great with Karloff having a field day, Loy following suit. I thought the DVD looked very good, this should be a real stunner
