Part of the wave of heroic bloodshed films that followed in the wake of John Woo’s A BETTER TOMORROWand Ringo Lam’s CITY ON FIRE, FLAMING BROTHERS features Alan Tang and Chow Yun Fat (who was quickly rising to superstardom in the late 1980s) as triad brothers determined to protect their criminal operation – and each other – no matter the cost.
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, SHAOLIN SOCCER) and his right-hand man (Norman Chui), who threaten to take away everything that Tin and Lun have worked for.
In equal parts an action-packed thrill-ride and a rumination on the bonds of male friendship, FLAMING BROTHERS boasts a screenplay written by Wong Kar Wai (CHUNGKING EXPRESS, DAYS OF BEING WILD).
