Thugs sneak into Hong Kong to rob a jewellery store, killing a cop during their getaway. They plan another heist while hiding from the police hunting them down to avenge their slain comrade.
In this first (and best) of a four-part film series a group of men from the mainland illegally enters Hong Kong and soon forms a 'Big Circle' triad gang. It doesn't take long till the police is hot on their trail which inevitably leads to a final shootout. This takes place in the infamous 'Walled City' which was razed to the ground a few months later in real life. So this film is the last chance to behold the labyrinthic chaos of people, goods, narrow alleys and illegality that was the 'Walled City'. If you, like me, prefer the coarse, mangy and dirty Hong Kong action-movies of the 80s over the high-gloss, elegant movies of the 90s, this one's for you.
Released in 1984, &quot;Long Arm of the Law&quot; has a layer of historical context that may be unfamiliar for nowadays audience outside China.<br/><br/>The movie is exactly set in time: around Christmas of 1983 and New Year eve of 1984.<br/><br/>In the very beginning the police file of Big Tung (or Brother Tung, called so by his buddies and partners from HK underworld) is displayed.<br/><br/>Aged 32 at the time, Tung was one of the Red Guard leaders in Canton back in the Cultural Revolution, moved to Hong Kong in 1979, since then was suspected of several crimes. Obviously, other gang members were in the ranks of Red Guards too. As I think, they inherited their merciless and cruel attitude to others from there.<br/><br/>On the opposing side, there is superintendent Lee, looking between 40 and 50. In the sixties he surely was on service and stood against leftists who terrorized Hong Kong in 1967. For him, the &quot;O Gang&quot; came from that time. In the eyes of this police official, chasing the gang was not investigation but warfare, and finally it turned so.
