Plot summary
Jason Chan, a Hong Kong prosecutor, has always worked inside the law, keeping his patience with a court system he finds too lenient toward criminals. That patience ends when his mentor is gunned down in public in New Zealand and the key witness in his latest case is murdered along with the witness's family. Chan decides the men he holds responsible will not be dealt with by the courts. As the Hong Kong police move to restore order, Senior Inspector Cindy Si is put on the case to find whoever is behind the killings, working under her superior, Superintendent Wong Jing-wai.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Righting Wrongs (1986)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- According to Cynthia Rothrock, Golden Harvest originally signed her to play the villain opposite Jackie Chan in Armour of God, but when Chan's near-fatal filming accident halted that production, the studio reassigned her to Righting Wrongs opposite Yuen Biao.
- While practising moves for Righting Wrongs, Cynthia Rothrock tore her right ACL, and rather than take time off for surgery she shot her scenes kicking with her left leg instead.
SPOILER
Cynthia Rothrock recommended Karen Sheperd for the film, but on arriving in Hong Kong Sheperd demanded her character not die and refused to kill a boy as the screenplay had it; a body double then filmed the scenes she refused, including her character's death.- After Righting Wrongs' original ending was badly received at its midnight screening in Hong Kong, Cynthia Rothrock stopped work on China O'Brien and flew from Los Angeles to Hong Kong to reshoot the ending for the Mandarin and international versions.
- Yuen Biao hurt his back while filming the scene in which his character jumps from the second story of a house, even though he landed feet-first on padding dressed up as grass.
