The Long Arm of the Law 1 & 2 (Blu-ray) (Import)

Double bill of martial arts action thrillers from film-makers Johnny Mak and Michael Mak. In 'Long Arm of the Law' (1984), a Hong Kong jewellery store robbery goes wrong when the thieves kill a police officer while attempting to flee the scene. With the police hot on their tail, the gang plan to pull off their next big heist. In 'Long Arm of the Law: Part 2' (1987), to atone for their crime of sneaking into Hong Kong illegally, three Chinese police officers are forced to work undercover if they are to remain in the country. Return to the mean streets of the 1980s for a pair of ghetto real crime dramas that redefined Hong Kong cop movies. Based on real events in the then Crown Colony, the ‘Long Arm of the Law’ films depict the threat posed by former Mainland Chinese soldiers crossing the border to stage hyper violent crimes in broad daylight. These films are a stunning blend of cinema verite with bone-crunching Hong Kong stunt sequences. ‘Long Arm of the Law 1 & 2’ left local audiences shell-shocked when first released, and still retain their raw impact today. Don’t miss the chance to see a double bill torn from the most savage era in reel and real Hong Kong history!
