Invincible Pole Fighter (1984) is considered by Halsted to be the greatest kung fu movie of all time. Starring Gordon Liu, the star of
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and who also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's
Kill Bill, and directed by martial arts master Lau Kar Leung, this movie had a huge influence on the Wu Tang Clan and this screening is expected pack a full house.
