This tofu-masterpiece stars Michelle Yeoh as the ultimate kung-fu hero. The fighting is jaw-dropping, the acting is brilliant (Donnie Yen & Norman Chu are hilarious) and these action scenes, directed by Yuen Wo-PIng (Crouching Tiger), could be some of the best you'll see. Subtitled. 1994.

HERO NEVER DIES
12:15, 4:05, 7:55pm

Johnnie To directed this over-the-top modern day Western the year before his Gangster masterpiece, THE MISSION. Some of the most creative dueling in any HK film. Leon Lai (FALLEN ANGELS) battles Lau Ching-Wan, whose character is one of my most favorites in cinema history. Hyper-Action films don't get any better than this! Subtitled. 1998.

CHOW KEN

THE MAGNIFICIENT WARRIORS
12:15pm, 4:05pm, 7:55pm

Michelle Yeoh stars in this non-stop action adventure film. This film truly does have some insane action scenes and Michelle even ruptured an artery in her leg during the production of the film! Ironically, the action scenes were directed by Stephen Tung, the same guy who directed the action scenes in next week's kung-fu kult klassic... AS TEARS GO BY. He later went on to do Tsui Hark's THE BLADE action scenes as well.) So strap on your Indiana Jones hats & come see this infamous 80's treat! Directed by David Chung. In Cantonese with English Subtitles. 1986.

GOLDEN SWALLOW

AS TEARS GO BY
12:15, 4:05, 7:55pm

Wong Kar-Wai's first film! This inspired, intensely realistic love story stars Andy Lau & Maggie Cheung. Made in 1989, this is the rarest of any Wong Kar-Wai movies. Do not miss this opportunity to experience a master's first work. Subtitled.

LOST AND FOUND
2:05, 5:55, 9:45pm

LOVE ON A DIET
12:15, 4:05, 7:55pm

Another brilliant genre deconstruction by Johnnie To & Wai Ka-Fai. Sammi Cheng & Andy Lau play two depressed fatties (dressed up in the most ridiculous fat-suits you've every seen!) This offensive premise makes one of the weirdest & genuinely funny HK films in quite some time! Subtitled. 2001.

ENCOUNTER OF THE SPOOKY KIND
2:05, 5:55, 9:45pm

This impossible film to find is simply one of the best horror/comedies ever made! Samo Hung has combined his creative genius (wizard battles), hysterical humor (exploding chickens) & kick ass fight scenes to near perfection. Miss this...and DIE! Written & directed by Samo Hung. Subtitled. 1981.
