Five Golden Dragons is a 1967 international co-production comedy action film set in Hong Kong and photographed in Techniscope on location in September 1966[1] at the Tiger Balm Pagoda and Shaw Brothers studios.[2] It was directed by Jeremy Summers and starred Bob Cummings in his final theatrical feature film,[3][4] Margaret Lee who sings two songs in the film,[5] Rupert Davies and a cast of "guest stars".[6]
The film was produced and written (under pen name Peter Welbeck) by Harry Alan Towers and co-stars his wife Maria Rohm as one of the three female leads. The film features a minor connection to Edgar Wallace's short stories by using his Commissioner Sanders as an officer in the Royal Hong Kong Police with Towers referencing Wallace's name to attract funds from international film investors.[7]
