Cult Class

TOKYO FIST

Join us for a live screening of the one-of-a-kind filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto’s cult action movie TOKY FIST with an introduction by the Cinema Shock team at the next Cult Class!

Synopsis: In 1995’s TOKYO FIST, insurance salesmal Tsuda (played by Tsukamoto himself) has a chance encounter with an old friend, Kojima (Kôji Tsukamoto, the director’s younger brother), now a professional boxer. Meek and mild-mannered, Tsuda finds himself threatened by the rawer and more visceral form of masulinity that Kojima represents — particulary when Kojima embarks on an affair with Tsuda’s wife, Hizuru (Kaori Fujii, HAZE). Enraged and humiliated, Tsuda’s only recourse is to enter the boxing ring himself, setting the stage for the ultimate showdown between the two rivals and former friends.

CULT CLASS is a monthly cult classic movie screening series produced by GutPunch Cinema and curated by Cinema Shock! Join us every third Tuesday of the month at Coffee Underground in Greenville, SC!
