        Love it!

        It is still much better than nowadays films. I love these classics. I laughed a lot. Especially the fights scenes. Don't get it to seriously.

        Fondly remembered

        I fondly remember this film as it was the first X certificate film I ever saw.I was 14 at the time and I saw it in a double bill with Forgo at the ABC Golders Green.This is a Hammer film but not a horror film.It is set in a very studio bound Hong Kong.Nearly all of the main oriental characters are played by European actors.Christopher Lee plays the black hearted tong leader.He has a secret ally in the Hong Kong establishment.There is some violence,a torture scene which seems as if the torturer is an expert in acupuncture.There is also a great deal of Axe throwing.It is difficult at this distance in time to understand why the film was awarded an X certificate.The writer,the ubiquitous Jimmy Sangster,seems to included many plot elements from Charlie Chan and Fu Manchu films.

        Surprisingly this is a Hammer film!

        In 1910 Hong Kong Christopher Lee plays Chung King, an evil leader of tongs who will kill anyone who stands in their way of their slave and opium trade.

        A sea captain (Geoffrey Toone) battles them when his daughter is murdered. Violence follows and then bodies begin piling up.

        Unusual Hammer film--not really a horror movie--more like a violent action film. Lee is having a whale of a time playing King and Toone is OK in his role. Everyone else is pretty terrible--especially pretty Yvonne Monlaur and all the Asian actors. The low budget does show and the script is sort of scattershot.

        I'm giving it a 7 because it's no longer than it needs to be (79 minutes), Lee is very good, there's some beautiful color photography and some pretty strong bloody violence for 1961--but then this IS a Hammer film.

        Worth seeing on a slow day.

        Nice acting by the great Christopher Lee, as always acting as a magnificent evil-doer .

        At the beginning of the century , in 1910, Hong Kong , there a secret society of the Red Dragon crushes millions of helpless people in its greedy powerful claws and no one is safe from its drug-crazed hatchmen , not even you ¡ . As some members of a secret Tong crime syndicate protect their identities by killing the daughter of a British sea captain called Jackson Sale (Geoffrey Toone) who vows vendetta . As he goes through the streets of opium dreams where terror stalks . Along the way the captain meets a sensuous pleasure-girl (Yvonne Monlaur) owned by the Tongs . Because the secret society led by a nasty murderous Chung King (Christopher Lee) is very powerful it is not easy to free him from their hands. Deadliest, Diabolical Brotherhood of Terror!Drug-crazed assassins carrying out their hate-filled ritual! Now you can see spine-tingling Tong terror ¡ The bone-bleeding needle torture by the Tongs ¡ They were the Oldest Secret Cult in the World... And the Most Fendish!The Silken Rustle of a Hong Kong Peasant Girl...The Menacing Shadows...The Muffled Screams...

        A thrilling and mysterious film with plenty of action , fights , chills and violence . Dealing with a simple and plain plot about a secret society of Hong-Kong called "The Red Dragon Tong" kidnaps the officer of a ship in the harbour of Hong-Kong , subsequently a Capt. attempts to detain the killers of his daughter . Here the main baddie role named Chung King played by Christopher Lee bears remarkable resemblance to Fu Manchu-Christopher Lee series and based on Sax Rohmer's novels . In fact Christopher Lee played five episodes as the evil genius Fu Manchu who doesn't give up easily , and is usually out to destroy world or bent on conquering it . This was the first Hammer film for which Christopher Lee received top billing . Previously , he performed the monster in the Hammer film Curse of Frankenstein (1957) proved to be a blessing in disguise, since the was successful, leading to him being signed on for future roles in Hammer Film Productions. Lee's association with Hammer Film Productions brought him into contact with Peter Cushing, and they became good friends. Lee and Cushing often than not played contrasting roles in Hammer films , where Cushing was the protagonist and Lee the villain, whether it be Van Helsing and Dracula respectively in Dracula (1958), or John Banning and Kharis the Mummy respectively in The Mummy (1959). Lee continued his role as "Dracula" in a number of Hammer sequels throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s. During this time, he co-starred in Hound of Baskervilles (1959), and made numerous appearances as Fu Manchu, most notably in the first of the series The return of Fu-Manchú (1965), and also appeared in a number of films in Europe. By the mid-1970s, Lee was tiring of his horror image and tried to widen his appeal by participating in several mainstream films. Co-stars Geoffrey Toone who is passable as Capt. Jackson , a man marked for violent murder by the Tongs. While Christoher Lee is his perennial adversary and arch-nemesis taking the center of attention. And of course, the gorgeous Yvonne Monlaur as the damsel in distress.

        The motion picture was professionally directed by Anthony Bushell and shot in the months of April and May 1960. Anthony worked in Hollywood from 1929, he had key roles in Journey's End (1930), Five Star final (1931) and Vanity Fair (1932), before returning to England. A cultured performer with a penchant for playing military men, he had several more noteworthy roles, including that of King Arthur in Black Knight (1954), and as captain of the Carpathia in an early version of the Titanic called A night to remember (1958). He directed some films as The Long Dark Hall 1950 , The Angel with the Trumpet and number of television episodes in notorious series as The Saint , Sir Francis Drake , The Third man , Winston Curchill , The Scales of Justice until his retirement in 1964. Rating 6/10 , passable and acceptable .

        Another wonderful villainous performance by Lee.

        Sir Christopher Lee warms up for his later Fu Manchu characterizations by playing an Asian villain here. He's Chung King, the leader of the deadly criminal organization The Red Dragon Tongs in early 20th century Hong Kong. The Tongs reign supreme, and seemingly can't be touched, not by the underwhelming local police force, anyway. However, they make their biggest mistake when, in the attempt to obtain an all-important scrap of paper, they murder Helena Sale (Barbara Brown), the daughter of sea captain Jackson Sale (Geoffrey Toone). He embarks on a one-man campaign for revenge, taking on The Tongs almost by himself.

        A good cast and a snappy pace make this fun. It's far from prime Hammer, but it is entertaining to watch. It's easy to feel uncomfortable in this day and age seeing so many obviously Caucasian actors and actresses playing Asians; unfortunately, it was a sign of the times. It is amusing to see the determined Toone take on all comers, assisted on occasion by a "beggar" (Marne Maitland) whose people are plotting an overthrow of The Tongs. Romance is also part of the mix as the young lady Lee (lovely Yvonne Monlaur, whose French accent remains intact), who's mixed up with The Tongs, falls for our stubborn hero.

        As usual, James Bernards' soundtrack is enjoyable, and the sets are evocatively designed. Director Anthony Bushell, himself a former actor, does a decent job; the action builds towards a brief but diverting mass confrontation between citizens and criminals. Lee is authoritative, with his deep, rich voice being perfect for an unflappable antagonist. Also very good are Maitland, Brian Worth as the district commissioner Harcourt, Roger Delgado as the primary henchman, Charles Lloyd Pack as the sinister assassin Dr. Fu Chao, and the briefly seen Burt Kwouk as the brave businessman Mr. Ming.

        Clocking in at 77 minutes, "The Terror of the Tongs" provides a modest diversion for Hammer fans.

        Seven out of 10.

        • Autres versions
          The film suffered extensive BBFC cuts which removed shots of bloody bodies and a mutilated hand, and also heavily edited the infamous 'bone scraping' scene where Jackson Sale's chest is pricked with needles. A scene featuring Helena's fingers being severed with an axe was also re-edited, so it appears she passes out before the impact of the blade. All later releases have featured the same print and the uncut version may no longer survive.
