Description
Police Story (Jackie Chan, 1985, 100 min, Hong Kong, Cantonese w/ English subtitles, Color, DCP)
The jaw-dropping set pieces fly fast and furious in Jackie Chan’s breathtakingly inventive martial-arts comedy. Packed wall-to-wall with charmingly goofball slapstick and astoundingly acrobatic fight choreography—including an epic shopping-mall melee of flying fists and shattered glass—Police Story set a new standard for mayhem that would influence a generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong to Hollywood.
“It’s the joy of watching Chan, a Buster Keaton of kickboxing, hurling himself into every stunt with total commitment, astounding athleticism and oddly unflappable, shaggy-haired grace.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
