Description
The Terror of the Tongs was a 1961 British adventure film and the first in which star Christopher Lee received top-billing – in a role that he relished, as Chung King, the sadistic head of the Red Dragon Tong. It would also serve as a dry run for one of his most famous character portrayals in the later Fu Manchu series of films.
Production
Filming took place in the United Kingdom in April and May 1960.
