Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPromotional material for this movie described the lead character of Bob Mitchell (Robert Cummings) as a young American playboy. Cummings was fifty-seven-years-old at the time this movie was released.
- GoofsWhen the murdered Margret (Maria Perschy) is discovered lying on bed in her hotel room with her neck having been broken, we watch Commander Sanders (Rupert Davies) and Bob Mitchell (Bob Cummings) - after having examined Margret's corpse - in the foreground discussing their further proceedings to solve the crimes that have been committed so far in the movie. In the background we observe the dead body of Margret blinking with both her eyelids several times! A dead person surely can't do that.
- Alternate versionsGerman theatrical version was re-edited and cut by approx. 20 minutes. The DVD release from Koch Media includes the original British version.

Featured review
B grade British film set (and made) in Hong Kong, although the leads are American.
The Five Dragons are a confederate involved in illegal activity in Hong Kong, when they decide to dissolve the confederate. A professor meets some young women at the pool and becomes involved.
The story is simple comic book stuff, and not particularly carefully made, but the film is livened up by many period scenes in Hong Kong and the comely Magda.
There is a song by a contemporary Japanese star called Yukari Ito. In one scene a (new) Toyota Corona turns into an (old) Morris Oxford before blowing up.
