Dracula assumes the identity of a Taoist priest and flees toChina, where he resurrects an army of zombies. Hot on his tail is Dr. Van Helsing, who is aided by a family of kung fu heroes. Interesting co-production between the Shaw Brothers and England's Hammer Films. Despite some glaring continuity errors (Dracula escapes Van Helsing's prison, and 100 years later the chase in China occurs. Peter Cushing is old, but this would make him something like 150 years old), this is an entertaining kung fu horror film with a goodly amount of blood-letting. The only big problem is that various kung fu villains have to stand around in order to make the white guy look like he is a good fighter, which he isn't.
