Subway Cinema presents Once Upon a Time in China
Brand new 4K restorations of the movies that made Jet Li a star!

Less than a year after they unleashed Once Upon a Time in China, Tsui Hark, Yuen Wo-ping, and Jet Li reunited to deliver this sequel that is the Aliens to OUATIC 1’s Alien. Adding Donnie Yen (Ip Man) to the cast they swing for the fences and knock out a sequel that’s twice as dark, twice as powerful, and packed with twice as much action as the original. Jet Li and Co. travel to Canton and find themselves trapped in a city that’s literally on fire as the anti-Western White Lotus Cult tries to murder all foreigners and the Empress Dowager tears the streets apart hunting for the real-life revolutionary, Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Taking place over one long, dark night, burning arrows illuminate nightmarish imagery as a handful of good people try to hold back a flood of violence, ignorance, and authoritarian rule with nothing more than their bare hands. Breathless, tragic, and heart-stopping it might just be the greatest kung fu movie ever made.

Screened to celebrate the addition of Once Upon a Time in China 1 – 6 to the Criterion Collection, Subway Cinema will be introducing the film and giving out swanky Blu-ray prizes before the show.

Subway Cinema presents Once Upon a Time in China
Brand new 4K restorations of the movies that made Jet Li a star!

When director Tsui Hark made Once Upon a Time in China, Jet Li was a B-list nobody, kung fu movies were dead, and making a flick about folk hero, Wong Fei-hung, seemed like something your grandparents might enjoy. Instead, Tsui Hark and action choreographer Yuen Wo-ping (The Matrix, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) delivered a movie so ferocious it punched holes in the screen and sent Jet Li supernova. Upright patriarch, Wong Fei-hung, had been the subject of over 86 movies before OUATIC turned him into a young martial artist trying to survive a changing world in this movie whose images are so iconic they feel branded on your brain, whose emotions are so primal they feel volcanic, and whose action is so epic it feels apocalyptic.

Criminal psychologist Sarah Taylor (Rebecca De Mornay), normally guarded emotionally, finds her walls coming down after a chance meeting with ponytailed babe Tony (Antonio Banderas). Vacillating between rebuffing his affection and literally sinking her teeth into his rear, she becomes further unhinged when she starts to receive anonymous threats. It’s a rogues’ gallery of potential perpetrators: horny neighbor Cliff (Dennis Miller), abusive father Henry (Len Cariou), potentially multiple personality serial killer Max (Harry Dean Stanton) – or is it possible Tony isn’t a random stranger after all? A movie that intercuts trust-falls with passionate sex, Never Talk to Strangers is a demented erotic thrillers gem in a Toronto-plays-NYC Christmas setting.
