May the . . .  umm 3rd be with you? 

Close enough.  

The Senate and Motor City Cinema Society are proud to present a special 16mm screening of supreme sci-fi silliness. Don’t miss Spaceballs, starring John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and the sultan of spoofery himself, Mel Brooks!  

 This classic conglomeration of bits and gags, a very loose retelling of the Star Wars saga, had way better aim than your average spaced out stellar soldier. With accuracy and abandon it blasts away at just about every beloved piece of cosmic intellectual property this side of the galactic divide. It’s enough to make one reconsider their attachment to those “action figures” they keep around.  

 But don’t worry you can always replace your old movie tie-in toys with some Senate merchandise, though we won’t be selling a Senate Theater flamethrower any time soon.  

See you there!

Thirty years ago, Jackie Chan, the undisputed king of kung fu comedy, broke through to worldwide mainstream success and superstardom with Rumble in the Bronx.  

 

Beloved by kung fu heads everywhere, the Hong Kong action star had long earned fans with his incomparable feats of agility and a timeless sense of physical comedy. But with this flick, set in the New York City borough of the Bronx, (looking suspiciously like Vancouver, Canada) Jackie was unleashed onto North American screens like never before. And audiences were enthralled, reveling in its antic fights and chases, delighting in its goofy charms. They laughed and gasped at its thrills and absurdities, marching in droves to theaters as the film tumbled and leapt its way improbably toward becoming the most profitable film of the year.  

 

Join us as we relive the stunts, the brawls, the goofy hijinks, (and the ridiculous dubbing) on the Senate’s big screen!
