Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu (1980): Dir. Piers Haggard
Feat. Peter Sellers, Helen Mirren; Notable as Peter Sellers' last movie, but ranking close to the bottom of the Sellers canon for its fiendish forced humour and racist overtones.
Cheap Detective, The (1978): Dir. Robert Moore
Feat. Peter Falk, Ann-Margret, Eileen Brennan…; Neil Simon's spoof of Bogart detective movies, with Falk fitting comfortably into his raincoat. A mixed bag, but worthwhile for those…
Mastermind (1976): Dir. Alex March
Feat. Zero Mostel, Bradford Dillman; Plenty of slapstick and movie in–jokes as Zero Mostel plays the fool in this enjoyably bizarre Charlie Chan detective spoof. Released in 1976.
Carry On Up the Jungle (1970): Dir. Gerald Thomas

Scared Stiff (1952): Dir. George Marshall
Feat. Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin; Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin make a ‘spooktacle’ of themselves in this version of Paul Dickey and Charles Goddard’s Broadway hit.
