Sundays on Fire III: A New Beginning!
Now extended until the END OF 2025 for your viewing pleasure, on the second Sunday of every month, at high noon, Subway Cinema teams up with the Nitehawk Prospect Park to deliver a 35mm print of a Hong Kong classic. We don’t tell you the title until it appears on the screen, but 2025’s line-up is all killer, no filler. We’re live-subtitling some prints with new translations specially made for this series, and we’re showing several stone cold classics that never play anywhere. We don’t know how we got these prints either! Next up…
Sunday, 5/4 @ 12pm
Totally fabulous, but truly wrong, this early '90s exploitation flick was rated Category III - Hong Kong's version of "No Children Allowed!" - but not for the reasons you'd think. This bonkers action movie/cinematic couples counseling session has a little bit of nudity, a whole lot of violence, but that rating is almost entirely for its general vibe of...whut?!? All about a cop who's rendered impotent because the bad guys have bigger, harder machine guns, which leads to his wife dumping him, he's re-assigned to a rural outpost where he basks in simmering rage until some bad guys show up...with machine guns. Full of so much castration anxiety it needs a therapist, this high caliber humdinger redefines over-the-top action as a dream come true for children of divorced parents everywhere, who always hoped mommy and daddy would get back together again one day...and kill.
