"Long Arm of the Law" is a Hong Kong crime film released in 1984. It was directed and produced by Johnny Mak. It is the first film in the "Long Arm of the Law" film series. The movie is based on the Guangzhou criminals who were ravaging Hong Kong at that time, telling the story of their robberies and murders from the mainland to Hong Kong. It is adapted from the sensational "Nantong Bank" case committed by Zhu Guorong (formerly known as Zhu Zizhao), the president of Guobao Group in 1980. According to scriptwriter Philip Chan, the majority of those who played the gangsters in the film were (formerly) "Big Circle Boys" themselves. One of them even attempted to rob a department store after production wrapped up, believing the crime was as easy as it was depicted in the movie he had just been a part of. Not surprisingly, he was captured after injuring himself while running through a glass door; a predicament that would've been avoided had he known the difference between breakaway props to real glass.

Three notorious gangsters who have never crossed paths find themselves in the same restaurant at the same time, and their fates are changed forever.
