The Return of the Old School Kung Fu Fest

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the movie theater… The Old School Kung Fu Fest returns and no one is safe! Subway Cinema’s wildly popular celebration of kung fu movies from the 70s and 80s that pop your lock, rattle your chops, and put the pain inside your brain has returned after a 10-year absence to send your kung fu knowledge back to school.

The Return of the Old School Kung Fu Fest — Subway Cinema April 19-21, 2013 at Anthology Film Archives.

Stars and Featured Talent

This time we’re shining the spotlight on some of the biggest stars in some of their rarest movies. We’ve got Gordon Liu (36th CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN), Sammo Hung (Jackie Chan’s “big bother”), Kara Hui (Lau Kar-leung’s female star of choice), Bruce Leung (KUNG FU HUSTLE), and even Bruce Lee (after a fashion) ready to punch, kick, and smack you into oblivion.
