I re-watched Police Story last night. I've gotta say I'm not overly keen on the comedy. Luckily the action makes up for any comedic shortfalls. The final section when Jakie Chan goes 'off the hook', starting at the point when he takes the Police Chief hostage, is one of my very favourite sustained action sequences. It totally lives up to the crews joke title Glass Story. I never noticed Sammo Hung before, he does a great stunt where Jackie is on a motorbike and he rams Sammo though about 8 sheets of glass. Even Slina Fong gets in on the glass action, performing a dangerous looking smash though a glass cabinet. The person I fell most sorry is the uncredited stuntman who had to get thown down the moving escalator, it looks extremely dangerous. Writing this makes me want to stick the dvd in a watch the whole ending again! After this re-watch I'm now whether I prefer this to Drunken Master II, which is the film I usually claim is my favourite slice of Chan. What'is everyone else favourite Jakie Chan film? |

Favourite JC movie, so many to choose from. But I would have to say Drunken Master 2, absolutely awesome.

Also on Friday I picked up on the 2nd hand market MONSTER FROM A PREHISTORIC PLANET (aka GAPPA) - R1 3-D VERSION IP MAN 2 GREEN SNAKE - any film that has Maggie Cheung and Joey Wong in it gets my vote . |

Just a quick note I did actually rewatch the end of Police Story and I dont think it actaully was Sammo, just another slightly chubby stunt man. |

Are you wathing the region A BD? I heard the PQ wasnt great, but I guess comapred to my terrbile looking (and sounding for that matter) Hong Kong version it's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

No it's the Region Free International Version one from Canada (under the title Legend of Drunken Master) and the PQ is stunning, well it looked it to me anyway, I'd only seen it on the GOD AWFUL HK VHS so it was a revelation for me.
