The film mostly takes place in Hong Kong and Bangkok, Thailand. Produced by Andy Lau's Focus Films, Brothers is directed by Derek Chiu and written by Chan Kin-chung and Y.C. Kong. The film was released in mainland China in the name of 兄弟之生死同盟 (pinyin: Xiōngdì zhī Shēngsǐ Tóngméng; lit. Brothers: Alliance of Life and Death). Co starring leads include Andy Lau, Huang Yi, Felix Wong, Kent Tong and Teddy Lin.
