Outlaw Brothers

1990 · 97 min

A breezy, punchy Hong Kong action-comedy full of slick car chases, scrappy fights and cheeky banter that never takes itself too seriously.

Overview: Frankie Chan and Max Mok are high-class car thieves whose sticky fingers get them in trouble with some gangsters, and then some really nasty gangsters. Tough policewoman Yukari Oshima wants to put the thieves behind bars, but realizes that by working together against the gangsters they can both benefit more.
How it feels: Light, campy, tense and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, heist, friendship, betrayal
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
