All favorites of mine.

I spent so much time as a yute in National I & II
Globe
Pyramid
Royal

At a time, National II only used to show kick up. 12:15, 4:30, 7:30, late show. Rinse and repeat.....every day.

Have not heard the term “kick up” in a really long time. To think this all started with a free gift of a movie The One Armed Swordsman with Wang Yu. Getting into Globe to see the movie was difficult due the crowds for every show.

In reply to Overthrow Google wang yu...still alive! But, read of how he took care of his strokes.

John Liu was de kick specialist. Northern Kicks was his movie

You two are reminiscing on names I forgot. Thanks again for the memories. Those were good times in cinema for me, after the spaghetti westerns had run their course.
