I actually really liked this one, though I did have to get over all the racism. It's a fun pulp-fiction sort of adventure and mystery story, and I thought it drew a really interesting picture of the times. Fu Manchu is a good villain, I'll admit, and I was surprised to learn his original character wasn't described as having that iconic mustache.
