MIRACLES (JACKIE CHAN, 1989) PRESENTED BY THE HONG KONG CINEMA CLUB

About the Show

MIRACLES

Presented by The Hong Kong Cinema Club

“Jackie Chan pays homage to classic Hollywood spectacle in this 1930s-set gangster-musical romp. An inspired reworking of a Damon Runyon story (previously filmed twice by Frank Capra as LADY FOR A DAY and POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES), MIRACLES stars Chan as a naive country boy who inadvertently rises to become the leader of a Hong Kong underworld empire, all while attempting to help a kindly but poor flower seller make her dreams come true. Cited by Chan as a personal favorite among his own films, this is certainly one of the director-star’s most unique projects, blending his action-comedy thrills with heartwarming sentiment.” - Criterion

MIRACLES will be presented uncut, from a recent 4K restoration, in its original Cantonese w/ English subtitles. Our event will include a preshow, trailer reel and themed-zine (NOTE: zines will be sold in-person).
