Anyone ever read those Fu Manchu books by Sax Rohmer? They are awesome! They're not PC, and that's just the way I like it! They're about an evil Chinese megalomaniac named Fu Manchu who wants to take over the world. It takes place in the 1920s. The heroes of the story are Scotland Yard officers named Nayland Smith and his sidekick Dr. Petrie. There's also a slave girl in it named Karameneh who may or may not by on their side. Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie are played in the Sherlock Holmes and Watson tradition.

You can find these books on Amazon. But they're kind of scarce. So good luck. I also like Sherlock Holmes books, too.

There's also been some movies about Fu Manchu, one called The Mask of Fu Manchu, with Boris Karloff from the 1930's, a 1950's serial about it you can find that on DVD at Amazon as well, and a movie series from the 1960's with Christopher Lee playing Fu Manchu.
