Background and Trivia

  • Third entry in the 3 Dolls series, known as the Older Sister series in Japan (お姐ちゃんシリーズ).
  • Being filmed in Hong Kong, Toho worked with Shaw Brothers Studio on the production. This would not be the first time the two companies collaborated, as they also worked together on The Legend of the White Serpent (1956).
  • The movie does not appear to be registered with the US copyright office and an international title is unknown. The film did see a very limited release in the US by Toho in 1966, centered around New York. That release used the English name "Three Dolls From Hong Kong". This could likely be the international title, although since nothing is definitive Toho Kingdom elected to use "3 Dolls From Hong Kong" as the main title so as to better align it with the spellings of the other films in this series.
