Musical Interlude: Rockin' Fu Music (1980)

The acclaimed British actor-comedian Peter Sellers passed away 2 weeks before his final film, "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu", hit theatres. This odd, satirical take on Sax Rohmer's legendary villain had an even odder twist ending.

Sellers plays both Fu Manchu and his arch nemesis, Sir Denis Nayland Smith. In the final scene, Fu, now much younger than his 168 years, has formed a rock band.......



I can't say for sure if they found someone as a voice double for Sellers for this number, but I'd imagine they did.
