NINJAS—Tonight the Grindhouse Film Fest presents the 1982 kung fu classic Five Element Ninjas! Directed by Chang Cheh and starring the Venom Mob—and presented in Shaw Scope, natch—this rare 35mm screening will contain enough bloody, awesome, chop-socky action to delight even the most discriminating kung fu fan.

Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 7 pm, $7
OPERATOR—The bluntly titled Phone Whore is Boston-based comedian Cameryn Moore’s one-woman show about working as a phone sex operator, and the intimate Back Door Theater is an ideal venue for a show that promises both an explicit earpiece on a sex worker’s patter, and a behind the scenes glimpse of what phone sex really looks like.

Back Door Theater, 4319 SE Hawthorne, 10:30 pm, $12-15, through Aug 28
