Reviews

‘Beefed up by sound design that revels in crunching spinal cords, swishing machete blades and the thud of axe on flesh, this is a stunning showcase for top-tier fight choreography.Beefed up by sound design that revels in crunching spinal cords, swishing machete blades and the thud of axe on flesh, this is a stunning showcase for top-tier fight choreography.’
Wendy Ide, The Observer

The commitment to relentless mayhem positions The Furious in the tradition of 1970s kung fu cinema and as a crowd-pleaser.’

Plan your visit

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!
