Plot

"Clarence Fok’s They Came to rob Hong Kong concerns a violent bank robber (Roy Cheung) who has to flee to the Mainland after being nearly caught by a tough cop (Kara Hui). There, he recruits a ragtag team of hapless morons (among which Eric Tsang, Stanley Fung, Sandra Ng, Dean Shek and Chin Siu Ho) to come back to Hong Kong and attempt a daring heist." [2]

Mao Yiu-tung (Roy Cheung) is a Hong Kong criminal who escaped from a team of female cops, led by Shang (Kara Hui), to Mainland China. He recruits a team to go with him to Hong Kong to rob a bank. The team consists of two conmen doctors, Ken (Eric Tsang) and Yuen (Stanley Fung), a singer named Leslie Cheung (Liu Wai-hung), a dancer and martial artist named Bruce Hung (Chin Siu-ho), and two cops, Sherlock False (Dean Shek) and Monroe (Sandra Ng). The team are mentored by Jenny (Chingmy Yau), who teaches them about Hong Kong's society and geography.
