In his stop in Hong Kong on his travels through the Asia-Pacific, American playboy Bob Mitchell is unwittingly caught up in international intrigue when he learns that a man named Porter, who he met earlier in his travels in The Philippines, the two who were going to meet for drinks in Hong Kong, was just killed, Inspector Chiao of the Hong Kong police who hand delivers what was Porter's final message, a handwritten note addressed to Bob with only the words "five golden dragons" which means nothing to Bob. Bob will eventually learn the note was purely a cry for help by Porter if something was to happen to him, Bob also eventually learning the five golden dragons being a crime syndicate cornering the market on gold, each of the five located in a different area of the world, and none of the five who knows the identities of the other four and thus do not fully trust even having been in business together for ten years. Much like what happened to Porter, they, through their hired muscle Gert, are willing to kill to protect their business, which is currently for sale for $50 million, which is where Porter came into the picture. With the help of the police, the case led by William Shakespeare "mis"spouting Commissioner Sanders, Bob has to discover what's going on to protect himself and his two new friends, beautiful sisters Ingrid and Margret, the latter who knows more than she would like.
Leave your thoughts about Five Golden Dragons.
| User ReviewMichael TEdgar Wallace was a popular British writer of thrillers in the early 20th Century; he immigrated to the USA and became a scriptwriter at RKO before his death (his most famous script was for the original King Kong). Wallace's works were rediscovered in Europe, particularly in West Germany, in the 1950s and that led to quite a few adaptations of his novels by various film studios in the 1960s. Five Golden Dragons was one of these, filmed in Hong Kong using the Shaw Brother's studios it involves the popular Hitchcock premise of the 'wrong man,' in this case an American tourist Bob Mitchell (Robert Cummings) accidentally stumbling onto an international criminal organization, the Five Golden Dragons, that is planning to sell its worldwide illegitimate enterprises to the American Mafia. It is likely that the original Wallace novel was filled with a lot more "Yellow Peril" stereotypes and the Bob Mitchell character is a bit too much like a Bob Hope character than a Jimmy Stewart character; his character was probably altered from the novel to fit a 1960s sensibility. The 1960s Hong Kong location shots are great, this film tales full advantage of its exotic locale. And it features Klaus Kinski as a chain-smoking assassin and Dan Duryea, George Raft, Brian Donlevy, and the always great Christopher Lee as four of the Five Golden Dragons. Plus Rupert Davis as a Shakespeare-quotingHong Kong police Commander who is always being corrected by Inspector Chan (Roy Chiao) as to which act and scene the quote comes from. |
