Shogun Assassin18
After his wife is murdered by a ruthless shogun, a vengeful rōnin wanders the countryside with his young son, taking down ninja assassins with cold precision in operatic bursts of surreal, stylised violence. Shogun Assassin, with its pulsing synth soundtrack and wild action sequences—featuring flashing swords, spurting blood, and severed limbs—became an instant cult classic, influencing artists from the Wu-Tang Clan to Quentin Tarantino.
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 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!
