Get ready for a high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled night of jaw-dropping stunts and nonstop martial arts madness with this killer double feature.

First up, Jackie Chan’s plays a fearless cop taking on a ruthless drug lord with nothing but his wits, his fists, and a complete disregard for gravity.

After a quick break, strap in for Yes, Madam! Featuring two of the fiercest women in action cinema, Michelle Yeoh, in her first leading role, and Cynthia Rothrock bring the heat, delivering bone-crunching martial arts action as they investigate the murder of a British agent, leading them to take on a gang of fierce, fighting criminals.

This double-feature includes an introduction by award-winning British-Chinese writer, director, producer Chee Keong Cheung (CEO of Action Xtreme), plus a 30min intermission between the two films.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
