terror of the tongs (1961)

aka Terror of the Hatchet Men.
Hong Kong 1910 and Christopher Lee is the leader of the murderous Red Dragon Tongs. Geoffrey Toone is a ships captain, who goes after the Tongs when they murder his teenage daughter and with the help of Lee (
Yvonne Monlaur) persuades the Chinese residents to stand up to the terror in their midst.
A rollicking adventure that benefits from some great colour photography, a good script and some thrills along the way. Just overlook the fact that all the main actors are European made up to look Chinese!
