DOUBLE TEAM
29 January 2023 // 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
What the Film Club is back for 2023 and we’re bringing some peak 90’s nonsense to Leeds with DOUBLE TEAM!After an assassination attempt on the notorious terrorist Stavros goes awry, agent Jack Quinn’s pregnant wife is kidnapped and held hostage. Now it’s up to Quinn and flamboyant weapons dealer Yaz to stop Stavros and save the day in this multi-Golden Raspberry Award winning action comedy from legendary Wuxia director Tsui Hark.
A critical and commercial bomb, Double Team is a bizarre mishmash of Hong Kong cinema and American 90s action, packed with corny one-liners, bombastic and over the top fight sequences, bizarre disguises, and more basket-ball puns than you could shake a stick at. Oh and explosions – so many explosions.
Join What The Film Club at Archive for another night of raucous cinema, drinks and popcorn for our social screening of DOUBLE TEAM, with an onsite bar, introduction from the What The Film Club team and a free WTF giveaway raffle.
