You can catch the 2000 masterpiece at several locations including the AMC Kabuki and AMC Metreon in San Francisco and AMC Saratoga in San Jose. More locations and details below.
Many will recall the stunning martial arts choreography (Yuen Wo Ping) that made the 19th-Century China sets come to life in unforgettable style. The film won four Academy Awards.
