Sundays on Fire V: More Movies! More Mayhem!
Holy cow! It’s still running! Now in its 5th year, 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 we had to dig deep for 2026’s line-up so you’re getting some of the most obscure, rarely screened, and most jaw-dropping Hong Kong classics on 35mm, and the next movie screens…
Sunday 9/13 @ 12pm noon
In the early ‘80s, Hong Kong’s biggest film studio was lost. They’d dominated the box office for decades and essentially invented the modern martial arts film, but now audiences wanted something tougher, edgier, and more contemporary. As crime series took over television they decided to give one of their up-and-coming directors a chance and he turned in this forgotten action flick that comes snarling at audiences with blood between its teeth, reaching for their necks, and looking to kill. A modern day urban apocalypse, this grimy, gutter-level crawl through Hong Kong streets takes no prisoners and leaves no survivors. Seething with high impact stunt work set in impossibly crowded cityscapes, it’s bleak, brutal, and bloody. Come and see the contemporary crime film as a no-hope scenario where the sun never rises and the only way out is to destroy everything in your path. It’s better and more frantic than you possibly could have dreamed.
