#Watched Lady Assassin (1983) - Sundays on Fire from @subwaycinema.bsky.social Love me some Lu Chin Ku. The palace intrigue bogs down a bit, but Leanne Liu is a blast as a spunky revolutionary, as is the director himself as a wild Japanese ninja/vampire/whatever. The finale is 10/10 balls to wall.

just feels like a huge whiff that A Better Tomorrow III isn't just Anita Mui dual-wielding guns for 2 hours. at the very least, another Hong Kong director should've seen this scene and decided, "we need to put Anita in 500 of the most insane heroic bloodshed movies you've ever seen"

Brutal, emotional, and unforgettable, PRISON ON FIRE 1 & 2 are now available as a double feature on 4K UHD. Chow Yun-fat and Tony Ka Fai Leung star in these iconic prison dramas from the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. gruv.com/products/pri... #HongKongCinemaClassics

I like when Wong Jing talks about his dad because it's the only time he'll let his guard down and come off as being completely sincere. Also, Johnnie To's Election is his favourite film of the 2010s apparently.

John Woo returns to the Gap screen with BULLET IN THE HEAD on 35mm on Friday, February 27th at 9 PM! Tickets are $10 at the door and online at thegaptheatre.com
