History Recap / MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E23TheCastleOfFuManchu

** And they have a go at Creator/WilliamShatner for directing ''Film/StarTrekV'' as well.

* BigWhy: Crow's editorial on [[{{Yellowface}} the portrayal of Asian characters by white actors]] is derailed by a rant that Creator/RegisPhilbin shouldn't had taken a walk off Creator/JoeyBishop's talk show.

-->"You haven't won, Dr. Forrester; you've lost. [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife And I feel sorry for you. You're nothing but a sad little man in a hole in the ground who can only feel power by hurting others]]. Well, we won because, we survived, and we survived because, well, [[LikeASonToMe we're Robinsons, roughly]]. That's what Robinsons do is survive, basically, and well, if you think it's so easy, well, [[DareToBeBadass YOU should try and watch a movie sometime!]]"

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: By the end of the film, Joel and the Bots are so sick of the film they've actually started snapping at each other.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: On the really bad British dub.
-->'''Joel:''' Why are they dubbing the British?\\
'''Servo:''' I don't know, this is terrible!

-->'''Servo:''' I'm bored, I'm bored with these credits already...

* IncrediblyLamePun: Quite a few about barges and fez hats.

* LetsSeeYOUDoBetter: Joel's challenge to the Mads after the movie. They fail miserably.

It is available on Shout! Factory TV [[http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/mystery-science-theater-3000/mst3k-the-castle-of-fu-manchu/54bd4f6869702d070ae03d00 here]].

* RestorationOfSanity: When the SOL crew is driven to emotional wrecks from the film, they regain their sanity when Joel dares the Mads to watch the film, and they failed at it, giving the SOL crew the last laugh.

[[AC:Segment 1]]

* The movie is over and the crew can't even read a letter due to how miserable they are. As Dr. Forrester and Frank share a toast, Joel suddenly comes out and challenges THEM to watch the movie. The Mads can't even get through a minute before they snap from the agony. The crew gets the last laugh.

** Joel has a brief [=BSOD=] moment when he realizes he's forgotten the Invention Exchange for the week, and all he can come up with is the [[BigHeadMode Big Head]], which [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E18StarForceFugitiveAlienII he did already]]. Fortunately, Tom and Crow had their own invention handy.

-->'''Nayland Smith:''' "This is Nayland Smith speaking from Fu Manchu's headquarters..."
-->'''Servo:''' (as the radio operator) "Yeah right, and I'm Mickey Mouse broadcasting from Disneyland."

-->'''Joel:''' Why are they dubbing the British?
-->'''Servo:''' I don't know, this is terrible!

** Saying the Dr. Heracles looks like Creator/BurtYoung.

** Not only that- ''every'' host segment falls apart due to the horribleness of this movie. Compare ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S04E24ManosTheHandsOfFate Manos]]'', where they got through two host segments without breaking up.
** Surprisingly, the first one to break is the usually [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] and easy-going Crow, who was delivering great joke after great joke throughout the first 20 minutes of the movie; and furthermore, seems to be the least likely of the bots to lose it over ''anything''. And yet, despite his valiant efforts, he collapses into hysterical tears while reading aloud his editorial on the Miss Saigon Syndrome.

** Saying the sick character looks like Creator/BurtYoung.

--> '''Nayland Smith:''' Thank you, Kurt, it was very kind of you to come.
--> '''Joel:''' Well, I didn't mean to, but, uh, the new seats covers-
--> '''Servo:''' Joel, NO!

* Joel leads the 'Bots in a marching song aboard the Satellite of Love. They have no idea what they are about to endure in this experiment.

* Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank are especially happy today. They've found a movie so bad, even the videocase itself constitutes a toxic biohazard - ''The Castle of Fu Manchu''. For the Invention Exchange, Dr. F shows off the Stinky Bomb and turns Frank into the spitting image of Joe Besser. Crow and Servo present a new Long-Distance Telephone Transducer while Joel brings out the Big Head, having forgotten that he had already used that invention.
