Black Dragons: Bela Lugosi stars as a mad doctor intent on killing people who wronged him. Of course, the twist to this is that these people are not just any old people but they are Japanese men he made, somehow, to look like doughy white guys. The film is filled with plot holes and the whole film makes absolutely no sense with a "terrible shocker" at the end which I won't give away.

Black Dragons was one of Bela Lugosi's "Poverty Row" pictures. He made this film, like many others, during a low period in his life when he was addicted to morphine to treat the terrible Sciatica which left him constantly in pain. Yet throughout all this, Lugosi's charm and film presence shines through and he certainly gave his all, even for crap like this.

One side note, the film also stars a young Clayton Moore. If you ever wanted to see the Lone Ranger without his mask, here's your chance.
