Flaming Brothers
A standout Hong Kong crime thriller released amidst the wave of heroic bloodshed films that followed in the wake ofĀ John Woo'sĀ A Better TomorrowĀ andĀ Ringo Lam'sĀ City on Fire,Ā Flaming BrothersĀ featuresĀ Alan TangĀ andĀ Chow Yun-fatĀ (who was quickly rising to superstardom in the late 1980s withĀ The KillerĀ andĀ Hardboiled) as triad brothers determined to protect their criminal operation - and each other - no matter what the cost.
Ā
Both orphaned at a young age, Cheung Ho-tin (Chow) and Chan Wai-lun (Tang) grew up together on the streets, forming a strong bond in their childhood that remains unbroken as they become triad brothers in adulthood. Having recently opened a nightclub together, they begin to feel that they have finally made it. That is, at least, until they become embroiled in a conflict with the ruthless gangster Ko Lo-sei (Patrick Tse) and his right-hand man (Norman Chui), who threaten to take away everything that Tin and Lun have worked for.
Ā
In equal parts an action-packed thrill-ride and a rumination on the bonds of male friendship,Ā Flaming BrothersĀ boasts a screenplay written byĀ Wong Kar-wai, the celebrated auteur who would go on to write and directĀ Chungking ExpressĀ andĀ In the Mood for Love. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration.
