About the Film
When Chen Ching-hua and her Uncle Wang run into trouble with local organized crime, they look to martial artist Tang Lung to protect their Chinese restaurant in Rome. Tang is initially uncomfortable with European customs and behavior, but quickly learns how to adapt to his surroundings. He must also constantly combat gangsters, who are pressuring his relatives to sell their eating establishment in the heart of the Eternal City. Acknowledging Tang’s skill, the syndicate hires the best Japanese and American fighters, including Colt (Chuck Norris), who has an epic final showdown with Tang in the Roman Colosseum. Rated R for martial arts violence and brief nudity.
Cost:
Free with RSVP. Food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) available for purchase.
