Showings

Officer Chan Ka Kui manages to put a major Hong Kong drug dealer behind the bars practically alone, after a shooting and an impressive chase inside a slum. Now, he must protect the boss’ secretary, Selina, who will testify against the gangster in court.

It’s the joy of watching Chan, a Buster Keaton of kickboxing, hurling himself into every stunt with total commitment, astounding athleticism and oddly unflappable, shaggy-haired grace.

The likeable and graceful Chan directs, sings and performs jaw-dropping stunts. Few of his American or Austrian rivals attempt a fraction of that.

As part of the BFI’s Art of Action season, Cromarty Cinema is thrilled to offer a selection of films from around the world that illustrate the best of physical stunts, movement and mayhem.
