The Greatest Fu Manchu Mustaches in Film and TV History

As we all know, it's the peak of Movember, an annual effort designed to raise money and awareness for men's health by letting your cookie duster grow wild for the entire month of November. In the spirit of the occasion, we've decided to honor the manliest of muzzies--the fu manchu--with a gallery of some of the most famous to grace both the big and small screen. So strap yourselves in for an awards ceremony celebrating our favorite variations of the ol' face horseshoe, complete with their own nicknames which we feel suit them perfectly.
