1974 Japanese movie The Street Fighter in Dormont, August 7 and 11.



Dormont's The Hollywood Theater will show the 1974 Japanese martial arts movie The Street Fighter (激突!殺人拳) on Wednesday, August 7, and Sunday, August 11. A brief comment on the X-rated film, from LoveHKFilm.com:
Simply put, Terry Tsurugi (Sonny Chiba) is one mean bastard. If you don't keep your promises, watch out. Tsurugi's the kind of guy who'd not only splatter your brains on the pavement for your betrayal, but also be more than happy to make out with your sister right before selling her into a life of prostitution. Really.
Wikipedia says it was "the first film to receive an X-rating in the United States solely for violence".

The movie starts at 7:30 pm on Wednesday and 7:00 pm on Sunday, and tickets are $7. And if you'd like to take the subway to the theater, it's a little more than a block southeast of Potomac Station.
