So what did we learn?

I learned that Fu Manchu has a terrible lack of focus, and frequently comes up with plans to destroy his enemies.
I learned that the poison kiss sometimes kills men instantly and sometimes it takes 6 week.
I learned that the full moon was important to Fu Manchu's evil plan for.... some reason.
I learned that if you capture your mortal enemy and want him dead, you should just shoot him instead of trying to kill him by snake bite.
I'm not particularly religious, and I don't really like Muppets, but I do love word play.

*sigh* Dr. Evil explained how you can't just shoot them. It's simply not done. You need an overly elaborate scheme which they can easily circumvent or it doesn't count toward your 'evil overlord' street cred.

I learned that unearthing an ancient civilization, learning their secrets and recreating their snake-breeding skills, kidnapping a bunch of young women, hypnotizing them, letting them get bit by snakes and then sending them out to kiss people so they die six weeks later is preferable to, say, sending one of your own already available minions with a gun to do the job.

I learned that Fu Manchu apparently never learns from mistakes and loves to gives his arch-enemies several tries to foil him.

I learned that it is possible to have so many different kinds of racism in a movie that the sexism kinda pales in comparison.
