GOIN' COMMANDO

#23: POLICE STORY (1985)


Listen Later

It's long past time we cover the work of the master on GOIN' COMMANDO and that gets rectified this week when we dive into the 1985 classic Hong Kong action movie POLICE STORY starring Jackie Chan, who also wrote, directed and yeah, did his own damn stunts. James tries to medically diagnose Chan as we wonder aloud what would drive a man to suffer for his art to this degree. We talk about the chaotic opening scene in the shanty town, the frantic shopping mall end that yielded the most broken glass in movie history. We pay respect to Chan's immense talent, his comedic timing, his intensity, and his versatility. We also talk about shoplifting stuff from the mall, getting kicked in the balls, Scientology (again), and James tells a great story about standing up to a bully. Fun episode.
