Fandom Promo Post: Into the Fire (1989)
This is a re-post with edits of my bluesky thread about the greatest Hong Kong movie I have seen to date, Into the Fire (1989), AKA Fire Street, AKA 烈火街頭, directed by Lo Kin and produced by the great Sammo Hung. It is extremely obscure, so see below for links, including the only version of it I've been able to find online (sadly dubbed in Mandarin rather than the original Cantonese).

If this interests you at all, I highly encourage you to check out the version on YouTube! Word on the street is that it might also be available on the high seas, but I haven't been able to independently verify that. This movie is on my rarepairs list, and I've got it flagged as a potential nominee for Yuletide. It's truly got everything one could ever want in a tiny fandom: a central slash ship, potential for a M/M/F threesome, the above-mentioned fake-out make-out and handcuffed together scenarios, a desperate us-against-the-world dynamic, and endless potential for hurt/comfort.
