CHUCK NORRIS MARTIAL ARTS MOVIE MANIA AT THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE DOWNTOWN!

With Rare, In-person Appearance by Chuck Norris!

Austin, Texas –Warming up for his World Combat League West Coast Playoffs at the Frank Erwin Center, Chuck Norris will make a rare appearance at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown (409 Colorado St.) on September 1 to host the first-ever Chuck Norris Martial Arts Movie Mania!

This film, television and martial arts legend will present two films at the Alamo Drafthouse and be present for a Q&A session with audience members (moderated by UT film lecturer John Pierson) focusing on his career and introducing his recently-launched World Combat League (WCL). The WCL’s full throttle Combat Martial Arts action will bring its real life brand of high-flying, fist-pounding, city versus city action to the arena at the Erwin Center on September 22.

Join us for two of Chuck Norris’ film favorites, hand-picked by Norris himself: “Sidekicks” at 6 p.m. and “Code of Silence” at 8:45 p.m. Don't miss this evening of double-edged martial arts film action with one of the genre’s most honored and respected stars! There is a separate admission for each movie. Partial proceeds benefit KickStart, Chuck Norris’ non-profit youth martial arts program.
