Take a nostalgia trip into the mythic neighbourhood cinemas of the Parisian past, with their steady stream of exploitation films, westerns, sword and sandals and action films, plus a few juicy erotic flicks thrown in.

Relive as well their fun and bizarre intermission acts: live martial-arts demos, dog acts, burlesque and so forth, you get the drift. Even better, movie quizzes and the candy girls are back.

Season 2 hostilities kick off under the peace-loving banner of “knock his block off” on 27 June, with a Bruce Lee-Chuck Morris head bash in The Way of the Dragon, followed by Bloodsport, an apocalyptic combat at the Roman Colosseum.
