FLAMING BROTHERS (Eureka Classics) Limited Edition Blu-ray - PRE-ORDER 15 September 2025

Outstanding Hong Kong crime thriller starring Chow Yun-fat that followed in the wake of John Woo’s A Better Tomorrow

Eureka Entertainment to release FLAMING BROTHERS, the crime action thriller that epitomises 1980s Hong Kong’s “heroic bloodshed” genre. Presented on Blu-ray for the first time in the UK from an astonishing 2K restoration. Available from 15 September 2025 as part of the Eureka Classics range, in a Limited edition of 2,000 copies exclusively featuring an O-card slipcase and collector’s 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 from a 2K restoration.
