“Only Known 35mm Print Of Fist Of The White Lotus @ Hollywood Theater | November 17

I’ve scoured the interwebs to see what you should do Tuesday evening and have found it. First, go get some free food (“appetizers and refreshments”) at the mural unveiling @ Farm Cafe between five and seven. Then, head to to Hollywood Theater at 9:45 to check out one of the baddest Kung Fu films ever made. (More good stuff this week on our Portland events list here)

From Grindhouse Film:
Due to the popularity of the OLD SCHOOL KUNG FU MASTERS film series, an additional movie has been added!  This Tuesday at 9:45 at The Hollywood Theatre, The Grindhouse Film Festival presents the only known 35mm print of the amazing classic FIST OF THE WHITE LOTUS.

FIST OF THE WHITE LOTUS (1980) Gordon Liu is out to avenge the destruction of the Shaolin Temple!  But he’s up against an incarnation of the greatest villain in martial arts movie history: the unstoppable white eyebrowed Pai Mei (Gordon Liu played another incarnation of Pai Mei in KILL BILL VOL. 2)  Lo Lieh plays the villain here, and he’s at his trash-talking, beard-stroking, kung fu annihilating best.  He’ll even fight while he’s naked. But watch out for his kung fu crotch!

The opening credit sequence alone is worth the price of admission, and the fight scenes are choreographed by kung fu master Lau Kar Leung (director of 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN).  Don’t miss this.
