COBRA THUNDERBOLT (1984) presented by Fist City — FREE!
April 14 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Fist City is a monthly series by The Saint Louis Video Society that pulls the most obscure, weird and rarely seen/ screened VHS Tapes from their archive and brings them to the Arkadin screen…for FREE!
In April, FIST CITY presents one of the biggest legends in the Thai film industry, Sorapong Chatree, in a wild “1980’s Super Vehicle” film, the little-seen mechanized-death movie COBRA THUNDERBOLT! Never released in America in any form (not even theatrically), this sci-fi, action hybrid comes from the incredibly talented and globally under-represented film industry of Thailand. Clearly inspired by the titular, souped-up vehicles in FIREFOX, BLUE THUNDER, and BLACK MOON RISING, one-and-done director Toranong Srichua uses an array of combat effects to present a high-tech battle of man versus machine. COBRA THUNDERBOLT not only has a badass killdozer, there are also jetpacks and jungle combat! Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see this Thai film, in an English-dub transferred from Japanese VHS!
Pre-show starts at 6:30p with wild Thai cinema clips and mechanized-death trailers!
