Boston, MA

You’re a big fan of kung fu movies…admit it! In fact, the cheesier the plot, the cheaper the “special effects,” the more fake-looking the blood, more so the BETTER!

If you grew up watching “Samurai Sundays” or “Kung Fu Cinema” then you know watching these awfully awesome films on the big screen (complete with skipping film and sketchy audio) can’t compare to watching the same movies on DVD today. Well, you can be a kid once again as the Asian Community Development Organization revitalizes that experience with Films at the Gate!

The paved vacant lot next to the Ginza Japanese Restaurant in Chinatown will be the site of these free movies being shown from September 5th to 9th. The main feature starts at 8:00 p.m. One movie you don’t want to miss is the final Sunday night showing of Project A, starring kung fu’s favorite comedian, Jackie Chan, and Hong Kong “heavy” hitter, Sammo Hung.

Some chairs will be available, but bring your own lawn chair just in case. If you want to bring blankets to sit on, remember it’s a concrete lot, not a cushy grassy one! Food is actually encouraged here and with surrounding Chinatown, make it a complete Chinese movie going experience with beef chow foon or Shanghai noodles! In case of rain, the movies will still be shown at the Wolff Auditorium in nearby New England Medical Center.
