Kung fools

Chow down on this. The Brooklyn Academy of Music has been screening a film series celebrating Hong Kong actor, writer, and director Stephen Chow, and this is the last weekend to catch some of his funny flicks. Tonight, it is the 2004 kung fu film parody “Kung Fu Hustle.” No more soccer! (No, really, “Shaolin Soccer” was last week.)

2 pm, 4:30 pm, 7 pm, 9 pm at BAM Rose Cinemas [30 Lafayette Ave. between Ashland Place and St. Felix Street in Fort Greene, (718) 636–4100, www.bam.org]. $14.

Bushwick boogie

Go back to a time of disco infernos and actual infernos. Photographer Meryl Meisler’s exhibit “A Tale of Two Cities: Disco Era Bushwick” wraps up with a party at Bizarre Bushwick. The show juxtaposes photos she took in the late ’70s and early ’80s of New York City’s thriving disco scene with burned out buildings and local residents in Bushwick. Pick up a signed copy of the book version of the show while you’re there.

Fresh direct: Rapper and beatboxer Doug E. Fresh will headline the Restoration Rocks festival on Oct. 11, alongside Slick Rick.
