Long Arm of the Law Blu-ray Movie
省港旗兵 / Shěng gǎng qí bīng
88 Films | 1984 | 1 Movie, 2 Cuts | 105 min | Not rated | No Release Date | Jeffrey Kauffman
An ultra-violent and ultra-gritty tale of desperate Chinese would-be jewel thieves hoping to make a quick, effortless score in Hong Kong. Naturally, things go afoul, and the gang must hide out until the heat dies down, besmirched with the blood of an undercover cop. A progenitor of sorts of both "City on Fire" and "Reservoir Dogs," but lacking the romantic melodrama of the former and the hipster staginess of the latter. Winner of Hong Kong Film Awards for both Best Film and Best Director. Spawned a franchise with three sequels.
