Films + Fuku = a perfect match.

Every Saturday in March, we’ve curated a classic film where you can order Fuku to the theater, get exclusive merch like pins and posters, and even add Fuku seasoning to your popcorn. Don’t miss your chance to eat Fuku at the movies without having to feel weird about sneaking it in.

Save when you spice it up: Grab an exclusive series pass and enjoy all four films at a discounted price.

The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of nineties cinema and the film that made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai an instant icon, now restored in 4K. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ ‘California Dreamin’ into tokens of romantic longing.
