The Way of the Dragon15
A country bumpkin martial artist travels to Rome to visit his relatives, only to find their restaurant under threat from ruthless gangsters. As he trains the waiters in self-defence and takes on the Italian thugs himself, he soon faces a new challenge—battling elite fighters flown in from America. Following the success of The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, Bruce Lee was given full creative control to write, produce, and direct his next film. The result is a kung fu classic that blends thrilling action, stunning location filmmaking, and charming humour, leaving a lasting influence on Hong Kong cinema for decades to come.
This screening features an introduction by Dr Lindsay Steenberg (Associate Professor in Film Studies, Oxford Brookes University)”

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!
