Hong Kong Cops Double Feature: Police Story & Yes, Madam!18

Hong Kong | 1985 | 3h 9m (+ 30m intermission) | Cantonese w/ English subtitles

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. Blending intense cop drama, playful slapstick comedy, and some of the most daring stunts ever captured on film, Police Story introduced Jackie Chan to the world and cemented his status as an international superstar.

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.

This screening is part of the BFI’s national Art Of Action tour. For more information go to: https://www.bfiartofaction.co.uk/home

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 only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
