Eureka Entertainment is proud to announce the Blu-ray release of FLAMING BROTHERS, the explosive crime action thriller that epitomises 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 15 September 2025 in the UK and 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 and Chan Wai-lun 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 and his right-hand man, 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.
