Sundays On Fire: Secret Hong Kong 35mm Feature

Where: Nitehawk Cinema
188 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn, NY

On Sunday, September 11th, Subway Cinema will present a brand new SUNDAY ON FIRE, an amazing 35mm print of a Wong Jing movie. If you don't know Wong Jing, this is your chance to meet Hong Kong's evil genius of bad taste, the director who's been serving up slapdash, surreal, bizarre blockbusters since the '80s. Wong has his finger on the pulse of the Hong Kong audience and his movies are exuberantly over-the-top, cranked out fast, full of dumb jokes, bloody carnage, and surplus explosions, and this one's no different.

An action-packed takedown of one of the biggest action stars in the world, starring one of the biggest action stars in the world, this flick is like Die Hard turned up to 11, featuring top-notch action choreography, super-stupid slapstick, oblique in-jokes, a bunch of stars, and plenty of bisected bystanders. No child is left uncharred in this anything-goes lunatic tour of Wong Jing’s brain that feels a lot like sticking your face in a blender.

NOTE: This movie is dubbed into English because, as the wonderful folk at Subway Cinema say, it's dumber that way!
