The El Rey was running a Woody Allen double feature of "Zelig" and "A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy" in this shot from "Ninja Turf" (Ascot Entertainment Group, 1986). It's a tale about a Korean immigrant who resists joining a street gang at his school. It's also known as as "L.A. Streetfighters" and "Los Angeles Streetfighter."
The film features Jun Chong, Phillip Rhee and James Lew. Woo-sang Park directed, billed as Richard Park. The cinematography was by David Kim and Maximo Munzi. Thanks to Eric Schaefer for watching this piece of high culture and getting the screenshot.
