Episode 9: Zarmi's smile
In this episode, fan favourite Zarmi returns. Consider by many to be the most enigmatic of all The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries, it was also the most successful, making over 1 million shillings at the box office in Britain alone (exportation of this film was prohibited over the Alluring Images Act of 1921).

Re: The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries
the ones which aren't animated gifs anyway
Re: The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries
also i have no idea to make properly blurred old film looking intertitles, so they've ended up looking more like vhs fuzz really
Re: The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries
obviously the only remaining source for these films is an old vhs restoration from 1987
Re: The Mysterious Fu Manchu Mysteries
also i noticed that, for some reason, one (but only one) violent penguin episode has a sizeable mexican fanbase
