It’s the summer of double features this Summer in Fifth Reel land, come down and experience two of the very best Carpenter/Russell flicks from the 80’s – ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK + BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

Escape synopsis: In the future, crime is out of control and New York City's Manhattan is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken, a one-eyed lone warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President, and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables. – Imdb

Big Trouble synopsis: A rough-and-tumble trucker helps rescue his friend's fiance from an ancient sorcerer in a supernatural battle beneath Chinatown. – Imdb

For the intermission between movies we’ll have a special performance from MADEMOISELLE! “Using just drums, bass and dual vocals, Mademoiselle have quickly become one of Calgary’s favourite punk duos. Despite their rebellious lyrics and thrashy playing style, one of the best things about the band is the beaming smiles they rock throughout their sets.” – Sled Island

9:00 – Escape from New York
11:00 – Mademoiselle
11:30 – Big Trouble in Little China
