Is it already time for another installment of Kung Fu Theater at the Hollywood Theatre? Man, this year is just slipping through my hands! Well, back to the good news: KUNG FU on a big ass screen, projected from a rare 35mm print! And, boy, do Dan and the crew at the Hollywood have a real treat in store for faithful attendees this month. It's a Shaw Brothers classic directed by Kung Fu Theater favorite Chang Cheh: 1978s Crippled Avengers.
As per usual, buying tickets in advance is advisable, as these events regularly sell out.
Here's the details courtesy of Kung Fu Theater's release:
On Tuesday September 18th at 7:30pm, Kung Fu Theater presents an extremely rare 35mm print of the martial arts classic Crippled Avengers.
The Venom Mob star as a group of men each individually attacked and left crippled. One is blind, one is deaf and mute, one legless, and one mentally challenged. Now they must each learn unique kung fu to overcome their disabilities and exact revenge on the person responsible: the ruthless man with the iron hands! Get ready for non-stop martial arts mayhem, wild acrobatics, and homoerotic funky style (did ancient kung fu masters really roam the Chinese countryside bare-chested, sporting huge sideburns?) Directed by Chang Cheh.
35mm kung fu trailers before the movie.
Crippled Avengers plays one-night-only at the Hollywood Theatre on Tuesday, September 18th at 7:30pm. More info available here.
