Tonight's double feature pairs kung-fu humor with one-handed martial arts skill.

Second feature start time: 9:05 PM. In My Young Auntie, a young widow travels to deliver a contested deed of inheritance to her much older nephew-by-marriage and his westernized son. Her youth and appearance belie her fighting ability, and kung fu hilarity ensues in role-reversed combat scenes. (114 mins., 35mm)

The New One-Armed Swordsman features David Jiang as a warrior who hacks off his arm in shame after losing a battle. After years of refining his single-armed dexterity while waiting tables, he picks up his sword again to avenge the death of a friend. (94 mins., 35mm)
