Remember "Kung Fu Matinee"? What about "Black Belt Theatre"? Subway Cinema goes back to our roots, presenting Hong Kong's classic martial arts movies of the 70's and 80's. Back on the big screen for the first time in 20 years, these are the movies that once ruled the earth and branded the name of Shaw Brothers, Angela Mao, and Bruces Lee, Li, and Le into the brains of international moviegoers forever.

Gasp as bare fists smash tables and bend steel. Laugh at the 70's fashions. Cheer as henchmen go through walls, and as a young lady puts down her laundry, pirouettes, and plants her toe square in a baddie's eye. Sigh at the half-naked hunks clad in scraps of wet silk.

So get rowdy and come see the sleekest, slickest, dirtiest, sickest, face smacking, knee cracking, punk jacking, five fists thrusting, self-combusting, lean mean entertainment machines ever unleashed on the silver screen.
