presents

STREET FIGHTER

and

RETURN OF THE STREET FIGHTER

 

Saturday, June 29th @ 7:00pm

Wiecking 220 Auditorium

on the campus of State University, Mankato

 

FREE! FREE! FREE! FREE! FREE! FREE!

Join us on Saturday, June 29th as Grind-Fu Cinema brings it all back to the beginning!  We're showing the first double feature we ever screened, but with a twist!  This time around you can see Street Fighter and Return Of The Street Fighter in the ORIGINAL JAPANESE with SUBTITLES!  As fun as the terrible dubbing was, these films are even more badass in their original form.  Sonny Chiba mops the floor with all comers, and no body part escapes his butt kicking wrath.  If it's attached to you then it is fair game, and the odds are good that it'll go flying across the room, followed by the rest of you.


Did we mention that Grind-Fu Cinema is FREE?  Cuz it is.  Grind-Fu is always free.  So bring your friends, bring snacks and treats, and dress in layers (because the temperature is notorious in the theater) for a night of amazing martial arts action.

GRIND-FU CINEMA: THE GUY FROM HARLEM!

This Saturday we're unleashing the dreadful fury that is The Guy From Harlem!  For the third year in a row, Grind-Fu Cinema presents this unintended comedy masterpiece BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT!  You have nobody to blame but yourselves.  If you have never seen The Guy From Harlem you really should.  It's the best worst movie you'll see this year (until the next M. Night Shyamalan movie comes out.)

After the pure and unadulterated TGFM experience, get ready for The Guy From Harlem: Rifftrax Edition!  Mike, Bill, and Kevin really sink their teeth into this one.  I mean, The Guy From Harlem requires no running commentary to be hilarious, but the Rifftrax gang let loose with diabolical glee!

Also, Grind-Fu Cinema is FREE!  Bring snacks, your friends, and dress in layers (because the theater suffers from climate related mood swings) and enjoy a night of fun and questionable cinema!

I'm the new boy in town!  Where can I go?

GRIND-FU INTERWEBS: STEVE McQUEEN

IF YOU THOUGHT MY GARRISON KEILLOR IMITATION WAS GOOD - then you ain't seen nothing yet!! This morning I pulled out one of my strongest imitations that I have in my skill set, my Steve McQueen from the film Papillion. Soon afterwards I learned that absolutely nobody knows what I am referencing with this dead on imitation. That can be fixed, thanks to the wonders of the world wide web. Here is the film in it's entirety. My imitation involved the isolation scenes with Steve McQueen, but if you heard me this morning that will be obvious!

And since we can - let's make it a Steve McQueen double bill by adding the movie The Great Escape. There are more stars in this film than you can shake a stick at! This is the first part, but watch it on You Tube where the entire film is on a playlist.

GRIND-FU INTERWEBS: SAM PECKINPAH

Sam freakin' Peckinpah.  A true Hollywood maverick.  I just watched a two part feature on the wonderful Bad Ass Digest website about his career, and it made me want to revisit his films.  In particular, it made me want to revisit the most gonzo film he made:  Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia.

If Grind-Fu still had funding we had planned a Warren Oates double feature of Alfredo Garcia and Two Lane Blacktop.  Sadly, that day may never come.  That's why you're gonna have to settle for this interweb double feature.

I'll start the double out with the Bad Ass Digest features to give you an idea of why I want to revisit Peckinpah's films, and then... ladies and gentlemen... Warren Oates.

WARNING:  ALFREDO GARCIA IS DISTURBING AND VIOLENT AND EFFED UP.  IT IS NOT FOR CHILDREN OR PEOPLE THAT KNOW OF THE EXISTENCE OF CHILDREN.
