Slow Burn is a 1989 film directed by John Eyres and starring Ivan Rogers, William Smith, Anthony James and Stephen M.D. Chang. A veteran cop's partner is killed by a Mafia hitman, and he goes after him. Also on the trail of the hitman is a rookie cop who has his own personal reasons for pursuing him.
A veteran cop has the task of preventing two rival criminal organizations from warring with each other. The two organizations happen to be the Mafia and the Triads.[3] [4] Besides this, the cop is also pursuing a hitman who is also being pursued by a less experienced cop. The veteran cop has no idea that rookie cop who has put himself in a close position to the hit man's boss is after the same target.[5] [6] The Mafia don was played by William Smith and the hitman Emilio Renzetti played by Anthony James.[7]
Slow Burn was released in Belgium in 1990 on Excalibur Video.[11] One piece of movie-related material bears the line, "In Chinatown, The Only Thing That Runs Deeper Than Tradition Is Blood".[12]
