Based on a popular comic book series named "Guwak Tsai" or "Teddy Boy" in English.[1] This film contributed a lot to the public image of triads and was condemned by certain quarters as glorifying secret triad societies. However, it was immensely popular in Hong Kong and spun a long list of sequels and spin-offs. Its main actors and actresses have also become major stars in their own right.
