KUNG FU THEATER – 7 GRANDMASTERS – Rare archival 35mm screening Hosted by Dan Halsted

Thursday, November 10
The 33rd Annual Olympia Film Festival presents
KUNG FU THEATER
7 GRANDMASTERS
Rare archival 35mm screening
Hosted by Dan Halsted
9:00pm

A kung fu teacher sets out to prove he is the greatest fighter by finding and defeating the 7 Grandmasters. One by one, he fights their wide variety of animal styles (tiger, leopard, mantis, monkey, etc). He also puts a young student through elaborate training, and is followed by a mysterious villain in a weird hat. Let’s be honest though, how important is the plot when a jaw-dropping kung fu fight breaks out every few minutes? Featuring multiple silver-haired villains with huge sideburns and maniacal laughter, plus the best monkey-style kung fu fight ever put on film! This is the only known 35mm print of one of the greatest kung fu films of all time.
Director: Joseph Kuo / 1977 / Taiwan / 90 min
