Kung Fu Hustle Returns to the Big Screen in Brixton, With a Short Film First
Kung Fu Cinema shows Stephen Chow's 2004 comedy at the Ritzy on Sunday 25 October at 6pm.
Kung Fu Cinema is showing Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle at the Ritzy in Brixton on Sunday 25 October, with the screening at 6pm. The listing gives it a 15 certificate and describes it as a 2004 Hong Kong film. A five-minute short film, Jisu Han, plays first.
Kung Fu Cinema describes its nights as new and classic martial arts films on the big screen, supported by action shorts.
Picturehouses' listing describes the film like this: a small-time con artist named Sing tries to scam the residents of Pigsty Alley, a slum too poor for the local mafia to care about. His bungled extortion attempt starts a turf war with the tuxedo-wearing Axe Gang. The listing adds that the building is home to retired kung fu masters in hiding.
Chow directs and stars, with Wah Yuen, Qiu Yuen and Xing Yu among the cast.
Tickets are on the Picturehouses page. Kung Fu Cinema's next night is Friday 27 November.
The listing bills the film as "the greatest martial arts comedy-action film of all time", so there is plenty to argue about afterwards.
