Police Story15

Directed by Jackie Chan | Hong Kong | 1985 | 1h 36m | Cantonese w/ English subtitles | Starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Brigitte Lin, Yuen Chor, Bill Tung

After single-handedly bringing down a notorious drug lord, a Hong Kong police officer must not only protect the key witness for the prosecution but also clear his name after being framed for murder. 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.

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!
