Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBritish martial arts actor Mark Houghton spends much of the movie carrying a sword for his Japanese boss played by 'Michiko Nichiwaki', the original plan was for her to fight with the Tai Chi sword during the finale and while thats the shape of sword that Houghton carries for most of the film, during the finale when he draws the sword, it has now changed to a Chinese broadsword.
- GoofsAt the beginning of the climactic fight in the warehouse, Miego (Michiko Nishiwaki) is wearing flat shoes, but when she's hogtied by Yukari at the end of the fight, she's wearing red heels.
- Alternate versionsThe UK VHS release from 1997 lost various shots of illegal activities (details of how to break into cars, plus a close-up of a house door being opened with a lock-picking kit -- fear of people copying these acts lead to their exclusion), a banned weapon (the balisong knife) and real cruelty to chickens. The DVD release of 2005 had all cuts waived except the cruelty to chickens, which is a compulsory cut to comply with the UK's Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937.
Featured review
Compared to other titles in this genre of that era Outlaw Brothers just lacks that something extra to stand out. But compared to titles of this era it still is far superior. For one thing even when the story is average it still is made enjoyable mainly because of Frankie Chan and Yukari Oshima. Her kicks are amazing! The interaction between her and Frankie is so much fun and is enough to make you keep watching.There are pitfall like so many Hong Kong movies of that time could not avoid. The humour is far from subtle but someone familiar with the genre should be used to this now.There is a vibe to this movie that reminded me of No Man's Land with Charlie Sheen and D.B. Sweeney.How can it not be since the main characters are car thieves.Let's say there is more of an eighties ambiance than a nineties one. Which is a good thing. Definitely one to watch!
