A pair of sharp, focused eyes. Feet bouncing lightly, shifting weight with precision and control. Muscles tense yet fluid, ready to explode into motion. A dance of anticipation. Every breath measured, every movement calculated.

Fu-rious Warriors: 師傅有請 is a series of monthly or bi-monthly community screenings showcasing a diverse selection of martial arts films, also known as kung fu movies. Each session highlights a film tied to a theme, presented by a member of the community. Tentative themes include cult classics, comedic kung fu, feminist and queer warriors, fight choreography, and more.

We invite both longtime fans and newcomers to join our community screening and explore the cultural, artistic, and social impact of kung fu movies on a generation and beyond. We welcome martial artists based in the Netherlands, film buffs, and kindred spirits to come share their passion for the arts and immerse themselves in an action-packed movie night.

For our first screening, we’ll dive in ex abrupto, presenting one of the most iconic kung fu films of all time with an unforgettable warrior: Bruce Lee. We’ll explore the deep mark it has left on global imaginaries while situating it in its historical and political context.

Thematic Focus: Cult Classics

Movie Title: Fist of Fury (1972)

Synopsis:

In 1910s Shanghai, one student refuses to bow, turning grief into fists, flying kicks, and righteous fury. Breath steady, movements sharp, he fights with the rhythm of survival: each inhale fueling resistance, each exhale striking back. It’s not just revenge; it’s a battle against oppression, where every punch is a statement, and every movement rewrites the rules.
