Here are the double and triple features that played the Deuce thirty-two years ago this week. Theaters are listed in east-to-west order.
North Side of the Street
Victory: EASY / ANGEL ABOVE, DEVIL BELOW / TEENAGE COEDS
Lyric: DEATH SHIP / THE MANITOU
Times Square: FFOLKES / THE BRINK'S JOB
Selwyn: SITTING DUCKS / KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE
South Side of the Street
New Amsterdam: DELIRIUM / BLACK BELT FURY
Cine 42
Theater I: PENITENTIARY / KUNG FU OF THE EIGHT DRUNKARDS
Theater II: BRUCE IS LOOSE / BROTHERS
Harris: RICHARD PRYOR, LIVE IN CONCERT / KUNG FU HEROES
Liberty: CRUISING / LAST EMBRACE
Empire: TIGER FORCE / BLACK DRAGON VS. THE YELLOW TIGER / THE CHINATOWN KID
Anco: KING OF KUNG FU / THE REAL BRUCE LEE / THE DRAGON STRIKES BACK
In a strange coincidence, I have the UK quad on my wall for the film TIMES SQUARE (1980), and the very same triple bill at the Victory is featured in the background, alongside marquees for PENITENTIARY and DEATH...something (the SHIP bit is obscured), so I guess that very week was when the designer chose to take pictures of 42nd Street marquees to feature in the movie's poster.
