Fu Manchu

 Dr. Fu Manchu was a man who believed the rest of the world should be enlightened and be like the Eastern. He set out to dominate the west and destroy whatever is in his path. Manchu has followers that praise him and help him every step of the way which are known as Si-Fan. Manchu has a lethal weapon which is his daughter Fah Lo Suee. Not only did he have great allies but had the most terrorizing will. In a tale good versus evil the man by Sir Dennis Nayland-Smith, who is an agent from Britain. “Time and again over several decades they clash, with Smith’s ingenuity always inevitably thwarting the Devil Doctor’s plan at the last possible moment.” (International Superheroes). Smith always makes sure to interrupt whatever Manchu ever plans.
  Fu Manchu was a term that was used strongly on Asian males. The name usually described a man that was tall and lean with traits like the devil that made him a treacherous man. Usually Caucasian men profoundly used the term towards Asian Americans. Fu Manchu “(usually alongside Charlie Chan as the two polar examples of white racism against Asians)” (www.braineater.com). Is an intriguing belief that is mislead by the film industries  and the media. In many of the roles Asians and Asian Americans have are with a certain image the audience is used to seeing and makes society perceive this image as reality.

Yet the issue goes far beyond just stereotypes. The media now a days also has portrayed this image on Asian, and Asian American males. The media has made the image of these men as men who cannot close a deal with woman, martial arts savvy, and mostly used for laughter relief.  Like in the comic thriller of the Hang Over Dr. Ken Jeong (Mr. Chow) plays the role of a man of many duties, but his expressions and emotions are simply silly. Alongside the hilarious voices with foreign accent. In most of the films and commercials he has taken part of, are mostly funny.

 Jackie Chan is a prime example as for his most famous movies that form an epic trio. The Rush Hour series Jackie was an agent of the American FBI force, and was usually called in for special operations. Jackie was not only a character who was able to defeat the enemy with his martial arts talent, in fact he has the funniest expressions in the three movies. As for his enthusiastic role in the major trio he is always perceived in movies with a heavy Asian accent that many find as a sense of laughter and silliness. In the film Jackie fits in the Fu Manchu stereotype given that in the movie Rush Hour 3 he clearly tells his partner (Chris Tucker) who happens to his best friend, “You are not my brother”(Rush Hour 3).

As Chan astonishingly refuses his partner it shows a for a person who suddenly turned on his ally. Regarding that his partner had been with him for such a long time, and had saved each others lives multiple times. As for the media trying to show a small fit in the stereotype for Jackie Chan in the film, the duo reluctantly can not simply stay apart and reunite to finish the mission they had set of to accomplish.
