ICFS and Subway Cinema presents Girls with Guns — Secret Hong Kong Movie Madness!

“From 1985 to 1993, ‘Girls with Guns’ movies dominated Hong Kong movie screens. With B-movie budgets, breakneck stunts, and high caliber action they were celebrations of sisterhood, served with a side of hot lead. These movies didn’t just pass the Bechdel Test, they destroyed it, with men mostly playing lazy boyfriends or evil creeps, while women got all the good parts. Step back into an era when women with machine guns ruled the Hong Kong box office, strutting down the street in stone-washed jeans, and an Uzi clutched in each nail-polished fist.” – Grady Hendrix, Subway Cinema.
Celebrate two of the most highly regarded films from this genre, as well as several of the kickass women who made villains shiver with their spitting of bullets and spilling of blood. Which movies, you ask? Which women? Sorry, only those who attend this event will ever know!
Not Rated. Approximately 3.5 hours including a brief intermission.
