Thursday June 24 - Movie Mashterpiece Theatre – Death Warrior (7pm) $9

The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre tackles another obscure B-Movie, this time the Turkish gem Death Warrior (1984) a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a mix of improvisation, comedy and a really bad movie. Undoubtedly the trashiest, craziest, most insanely obscure and ludicrous Turkish freak out of them all. Anybody’s guess as to how many zero budget horror/action/kung fu/ninja movies this monstrosity was stitched together from but the end result makes even the worst Godfrey Ho cut-and-paster look like a model of continuity by comparison. One minute hooded ninjas with giant plywood swords are running around people’s backyards in broad daylight drowning women in swimming pools, the next Cuneyt Arkin’s going mano-a-mano with some acrobatically impaired martial artiste in an open field. Laughs galore will ensue as the National Comedy Theatre troupe performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.
