I Love Maria (1988)

About I Love Maria (1988)

Join us on September 20th for a screening of I Love Maria (1988), aka ROBOFORCE, a slice of Hong Kong sci-fi-slapstick-buddy-comedy-action-romance - starring a baby Tony Leung! 

Made at the height of the industry's golden age of the 1980s, I Love Maria follows the unlikely trio of Curly (John Sham), Whiskey (Tsui Hark), and T.Q. Zhaung (Leung) who team up with a beautiful robot (Sally Yeh) to take down the ironically-named Hero Gang who are rampaging through Hong Kong with their own evil mechs.

I Love Maria stands as a real showcase of Hong Kong's special effects prowess. It's Metropolis reimagined as a Saturday morning cartoon with added kung fu, explosions, and a slightly dodgy robo-human love triangle...

We have also allocated a number of free tickets for those not in a position to pay. If you would like to help support our free ticket initiative, you can pay it forward here. 

Leith Kino!

A weekly community cinema night based at Leith Depot.

Join us for weekly screenings, celebrating films that are international, experimental, arthouse, trash, cult, a little bit strange, and maybe otherwise hard to see on the big screen.

There will be free (vegan) popcorn. Drinks and refreshments are available to purchase at the Depot bar, alongside our monthly posters, each designed by a different Leith-based artist.
