For the #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon, it’s martial arts comedy Disciples of the 36th Chamber (a.k.a. Disciples of the Master Killer or Master Killer III), a loose sequel to The 36th Chamber and Return to the 36th Chamber, written, choreographed & directed by Lau Kar-leung, and starring Gordon Liu, Hsiao Ho and Lau Kar-leung.

Synopsis

Fong Sai Yuk’s uninhibited arrogance toward a Manchu lord forces him to seek refuge in a Shaolin temple. Although well trained in the martial arts, he is no match for Master San Te, the creator of the 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Exhausted by his frequent defeats, Fong leaves and crosses paths with a governor, who rewards him with a yellow robe granting immunity from any Manchu. But what are the governor’s true intentions? Will Fong feed his foolish ego and betray the Shaolin Temple?

    I also notice the event is only shown in the sidebar when viewing the the main community timeline, not when viewing a post.

    I wonder how many people bother viewing the community timeline as opposed to just viewing posts that come up in their main PieFed / Lemmy feed.

    EDIT: Wait, I see now that it’s visible in the sidebar for ALL PieFed! Cool!
