Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience!
If you needed proof that the martial arts movie is alive and well, nay THRIVING, you need look no further than the back to back Indonesian sequels THE RAID REDEMPTION and THE RAID 2.
Both staring Iko Uwais as Special Ops Policeman Rama, both written & directed by Gareth Evans, BOTH TAKING PLACE WITHIN 2 HOURS OF EACH OTHER(!!!), THE RAID movies are about as good as it gets.
THE RAID REDEMPTION tells the story of how Rama and his Special Ops task force get tricked into trying to take down a Drug Lord in the apartment complex he controls.
No sooner are they inside then they find themselves surrounded on all sides by armed drug dealers, fighters, criminals, determined to exterminate every last one of them. Who double crossed them? Who gave them up to the Drug Lord?
As Rama fights for his life, floor to floor, the one thing the Drug Lord didn't count on was that Rama himself might have someone on the inside. . .plus he knows kick ass martial arts.
THE RAID 2 picks up just 2 hours after THE RAID REDEMPTION ends. Only here, the story becomes GODFATHER epic as Rama goes undercover in prison then comes back out to try and take down the really big fish: the corrupt politicians and policemen and businessmen who are all on the take for the big money.
For awhile, you think THE RAID 2 is more of a gangster epic in the vein of UN PROPHETE then it is an action movie. But you would be thinking wrong. Because starting with a certain mind blowing car chase then barrelling towards a climax that must be seen to be believed, Uwais and Evans deliver the goods beyond your wildest expectations.
So join us for a double of martial arts mastery and breathless action. On 35mm!
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?
In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.
However, if you could look at this as partially helping the Secret Movie Club Theater re-open, make the improvements as we go to turn this into the amazing movie watching, movie making center we know it can be, we would be eternally grateful.
As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices.
If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.
HELPFUL SECRET MOVIE CLUB (1917 Bay Street, 2nd Floor, LA, CA 90021) THEATER PARKING TIPS:
We recommend that you park just outside our theater. Remember our theater is actually in a beautiful street art alleyway in the back of the 1917 Bay Street building. You get to our entrance by taking a right on Wilson, then a right behind the building. We are the first set of black steps on the right after the big gate.
We will have a staff member on duty to monitor all cars parked in the street-art alleyway at our entrance.
There is also a parking lot at the corner of Mateo and Violet Street, just 2 blocks from our theater, which costs $7 per car.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
