Takes a swing at his drink, sways a little. Body bent, springing back, grinning ear to ear, cheeks flushed. As the jug crashes on the floor, his tipsy kitten steps advance. Never let them know your next step *burp*!

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 second screening, we’ll dive into golden era of Hong Kong cinema, presenting one of Jackie Chan’s many great hits. Accompanied by a wealth of iconic cast and kung-fu masters, we’ll see a young and endearing Jackie showing off his moves and sparring in comedic chops with the legendary diva Anita Mui! 

Thematic Focus: Comedic Choreography

Movie Title: Drunken Master II (1994)

*Synopsis:*

In turbulent China before World War I, the collapse of the Manchu Dynasty fuels violent uprisings and political chaos - the perfect setting for a grand-scale smuggling ring led by an unscrupulous British consul. Legendary 'Drunken Fist' master and Cantonese folk hero, Wong Fei-hung is caught between respecting his pacifist father's wishes or stopping a group of disrespectful foreigners from stealing precious artifacts.
