From the Eureka Entertainment press release: 

Eureka Entertainment is proud to announce the Blu-ray release of FLAMING BROTHERS, the explosive crime action thriller that epitomizes the “heroic bloodshed” genre of 1980s Hong Kong cinema. Presented from a stunning new 2K restoration, this marks the film’s Blu-ray debut in both the UK and North America. FLAMING BROTHERS will be released as part of the Eureka Classics range on 16 September 2025 in North America, in a Limited Edition of 2,000 copies per territory. Each edition will feature an exclusive O-card slipcase and a collectors’ booklet.

A standout Hong Kong crime thriller released amidst the wave of heroic bloodshed films that followed in the wake of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow and 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 what 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) 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, the celebrated auteur who would go on to write and direct Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love. Eureka Classics is proud to present the film on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK and North America from a 2K restoration.
