Sundays on Fire III: A New Beginning!
Now extended until the END OF 2025 for your viewing pleasure, 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 2025’s line-up is all killer, no filler. We’re showing several stone cold classics that never play anywhere, and some movies so obscure you’d be hard-pressed to find them even on laserdisc. We don’t know how we got these prints either! Next up…
Sunday, 11/2 @ 12pm
Politics served with a side of whupass, Hong Kong’s greatest living action director delivers a period wu xia movie that goes hard on style. An attempt to show Wong Kar-wai that you could make a movie utilizing slo mo, step printing, fast forward, and all his favorite stylistic tricks while still delivering blood-boiling, limb-shearing, neck-severing action, this tale of political loyalties being stressed and tested by razor sharp steel feels like an old school Shaw Brothers flick getting an injection of bone-cracking, modern day action. Essentially a remake of The Blood Brothers (1973) only 10 times faster, harder, and ready to rumble, we’ll be projecting live subtitles since there are no subbed 35mm prints of this one out there. Rarely seen, and never screened, you won’t get a chance to see this one in all its epic gory glory again.
