Kiss and Kill Movie Review

Christopher Lee returns in his fourth outing as Fu Manchu. This time the evil one has set up housekeeping in Brazil, where he's injected ten beautiful girls with a deadly poison that is activated when the lovelies smooch an unsuspecting victim. They are then sent out to seduce world leaders and give a new meaning to the phrase “kiss of death.” While not quite on a par with the previous movies, this is still enjoyable, and certainly far superior to The Castle of Fu Manchu, which would end the series. AKA: Blood of Fu Manchu; Against All Odds; Fu Manchu and the Kiss of Death.
