About the Toronto Underground Cinema: Located at Queen St. W. and Spadina Ave., the Toronto Underground Cinema is truly one of the city’s last undiscovered gems. Specializing in genre classics, B movie greats, indie art house and the pick of the best current Hollywood flicks, the Underground looks to be the next stop for Cinema the way it was meant to be: away from the glitz and glam of the multiplex.

Throwdown III takes place at the Toronto Underground Cinema, January 29th, 2011. Starts at 6:30 pm, runs until midnight. Mortal Kombat video game tournament and a double-bill screening of films, featuring Big Trouble in Little China.
