Jack Burton and friends recently had a battle aboard a submarine with Petty Officer Talbot, a werewolf. An MI-5 agent named Pellinor shows Margo Litzenberger and Eddie Lee portraits of his illustrious predecessors, one of whom is a man so unhappy his lips are curved almost into a snarl, and who wears a black jacket with white piping and a large badge of a penny-farthing bicycle. Felix “Wart” Kingfisher says the Wing Kong blackmailed the British authorities to leave them alone and go after their rivals, such as the Si-Fan and the Red Dragon Tong. Petty Officer Talbot must be a relative of Larry Talbot from the movie The Wolf Man and its sequels. It has been well-established that lycanthropy runs in the Talbot family. The agent in the black jacket is Number 6 from the classic TV series The Prisoner. The Si-Fan is Dr. Fu Manchu’s criminal organization in Sax Rohmer’s novels. The Red Dragon Tong is from the Hammer film The Terror of the Tongs.
