Hip Hop beats vs Cult Classics! Can I Kick It? screens cult classics and contemporary martial arts/action favorites while DJ 2-Tone Jones live scores the film, scene-by-scene, with a blend of genres such as hip hop, soul, and funk.

“No man, no law, no war can stop him.” Join us as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Rambo: First Blood Part II with an explosive twist: a live hip-hop soundtrack performed by DJ 2-Tone Jones as we celebrate the first 2025 edition of Can I Kick It.

This cult classic catapulted Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo into the “one-man army” stratosphere, blending high-octane action, unforgettable lines, and over-the-top heroics into a legacy that still inspires filmmakers and musicians alike.

Set in the sweltering jungles of Vietnam, Rambo: First Blood Part II follows Rambo on a mission to rescue American POWs—a mission that spirals into a relentless battle for justice. From the unforgettable “Murdock, I’m coming to get you” to his poignant cry for respect, Rambo’s lines are as iconic as the explosive action sequences. With a backdrop of betrayal, guerrilla warfare, and the unforgettable bow-and-arrow explosions, this film defined 80s action and left a mark on pop culture, including its deep ties to hip-hop’s embrace of rebellion, grit, and larger-than-life storytelling.

Get ready for a night of beats and battle as the film comes alive like never before. We encourage you to shout along with the iconic quotes, cheer for the outrageous kills, and vibe to a reimagined hip-hop score that will have you on your feet. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Rambo for the first time, this night is guaranteed to hit the target.
