Fu-Manchu codified the 'Yellow Peril' stereotype that haunted Western media for decades; this serial helped cement Sax Rohmer's racist mythology in pop culture.
H. Agar Lyons played Fu-Manchu across multiple 1920s serials despite being a white British actor with no Asian heritage—standard practice, still wild.
