Exhumed Films Presents TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS / DYNASTY in 3-D

35mm 3-D Double Feature

About

Exhumed Films presents a rare 35mm double feature of ancient curses, booby traps and high-flying martial arts madness — in genuine over/under 3-D!

TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS (1983), the wild Italian RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK rip off starring Tony Anthony and Gene Quintano, inspired by Jonestown and Jules Dassin’s heist movie classic TOPKAPI, on the big screen in three dimensions, plus DYNASTY (1977), the incredible kung fu spectacular that comes hard at ya with flying punches, leaping kicks and all sorts of exotic weaponry to bruise and otherwise skewer your eyeballs!

Behold two of the greatest, eye-popping 3-D movies of the 70s/80s 3-D movie boom on the big screen in true 3-D, projected from original 35mm film prints! Screenings like this are exceedingly rare — don’t miss it!

TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS (dir. Ferdinando Baldi, 1983)

The 1981 3-D Spaghetti Western COMIN’ AT YA! was a financial success that effectively started the 3-D resurgence of the 1980’s. The filmmakers behind that hit followed it up with TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS, an action/adventure film clearly inspired by RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Tony Anthony stars as a soldier of fortune that assembles a team of thieves with the goal of stealing a set of mystical gems. The quest leads them to creepy caves and booby-trapped fortresses, setting the stage for a series of inventive 3-D gimmicks. Indiana Jones it ain’t, but TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS is nevertheless an enjoyable artifact from a bygone era.

DYNASTY (dir. Chang Mei-Chun, 1977)

A product of the post–ENTER THE DRAGON kung fu boom, DYNASTY throws a wrongfully accused prince into a volatile clash between rival factions, joining forces with a revenge-driven ally as they battle the emperor’s deadliest enforcers. Starring Tan Tao-Liang (credited as Bobby Ming) and directed by Chang Mei-Chun, loyalties shift as ambushes and duels pile up in quick succession. Shot in 3-D using the Super-Touch (Optimax III) system developed by exploitation titan Michael Findlay, Chang leans into the format with gusto: flying fists, flashing blades, and bodies lunging straight off the screen. A showcase for depth, impact, and forward momentum, DYNASTY turns each confrontation into a spatial spectacle, capturing a moment when genre filmmaking and 3-D gimmickry collided to exhilarating effect.
