Sundays on Fire: Secret Hong Kong 35mm Feature

Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

The second Sunday of every month sees Subway Cinema take over the Nitehawk to unleash an action classic from the golden days of Hong Kong movies and this time we’re setting the seats on fire. We’re not telling you the title until it appears onscreen because it’s more fun that way but, trust us, we’re celebrating the biggest stars of the ‘80s and ‘90s in their best movies, all presented in glorious 35mm and this particular movie is guaranteed to knock your block off, then shoot you in the face.

One of Hong Kong’s most acclaimed action directors delivers a high-impact contemporary action flick that gives an all-star cast a whole bunch of ballistic kisses. The show almost gets stolen by a knuckle-shredding, sneaker-to-the-face performance from an up-and-coming action star, but everyone holds their own until one more pitch black plot twist leaves them bleeding out in the streets. Straight out of the ‘80s it’s got that big shoulders, big hair, big squib energy.
