Sundays on Fire III: A New Beginning!
Now extended until the END OF 2025 for your viewing enjoyment, 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, 3/9 @ 12pm
Sammo Hung is one of the greatest action directors and stars in the world, so why is this movie, which he choreographed and produced at the height of his fame, so forgotten? Why was it only ever released on VHS and laserdisc? And why did we only find this 35mm print through sheer dumb luck? But this forgotten film is an undiscovered gem, a brutal late-80s neo-noir that sees a rich kid and a poor kid handcuffed together by accident, trying to survive one long, dark night of endless mayhem. Swinging wildly in tone from scenes of charming romance and goofy comedy to brutal beatdowns and bloody retribution, it stars a martial artist who’d go on to become a regular cinematic bad guy punching and kicking everyone from Jet Li to Keanu Reeves, and a stuntman turned second-string action hero giving the performance of his career. Even better, the romantic lead is a Cat III starlet most famous for taking off her clothes, but here giving a charismatic turn as the beating heart of this film. Don't miss this B-list exploitation flick that turns out to hit harder, kick higher, and bleed more beautifully than movies with ten times its budget.
