Witness the relaunch of 36 Cinema with a screening of the 1978 martial arts masterpiece Heroes of the East with live commentary by RZA! This is our kickoff “Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater with RZA”.
Heroes of the East (aka Shaolin Challenges Ninja) Gordon Liu stars as a Chinese kung fu student who weds a Japanese woman (Yuka Mizuno) who turns out to be a martial artist as well. When he accidentally insults her family, he’s forced to duel seven Japanese martial arts masters, who each specialize in a different style, to prove how good his kung fu really is. Directed by the great Lau Kar Leung (36th Chamber of Shaolin), this is one of the greatest kung fu movies of all time!
Live commentary provided by RZA and kung fu guru Dan Halsted. Viewers will be able to type in questions during the show.
36 Cinema is a first-of-its-kind experience that brings you live streamed movies with live commentary from directors, actors and superfans. All of our events are ticketed so we can pay the rights holders.
Our patent-pending technology allows us to re-create a communal live event during a time when it’s difficult to watch movies in theaters. We’re also working with independent theaters to pay them a percentage of revenue.
