Beyond Fest has scheduled a two-film martial arts programme for October 1 at 5 p.m. Los Angeles time at the Egyptian Theatre. RZA's 40-minute Saturday Afternoon Kung-Fu Theatre ‘Born Invincible’ is billed for its world premiere, followed by the world premiere of Severin Films' 4K restoration of Jimmy Wang Yu's 1976
