Flaming Brothers - 1987 - Hong Kong

Flaming Brothers - 1987 - 6/10
AKA - Gong woo lung foo dau  //  江湖龍虎鬥

 
The boys bond on the streets, steal food from the Catholic church, run errands for coins, fight for each other.
Fast forward, two men now.  They have a small casino, run gambling, have a brothel.  No drugs.
Profits attract a powerful boss, who demands respect.  How much respect?  80% of profits.
Brace for impact.
There are three or four major gun battles in this, along with a fun chase in tuk-tuks through Thailand.
Along with insipid comic relief, romances that kill the pace.
Alan Tang and Chow Yun-Fat make a great team!  Even resemble brothers.
