CW: some discussions of violence towards women (as played for comedy). Whatever else Jackie Chan is (poet, philosopher, philanderer, tax evader, bigot, tool of the state), he's a man who understands that the best part of martial arts is its humor. Like the best of Chan's work, POLICE STORY is a creative, reactionary, and funny celebration of the beauty of expressive motion. It also has a minute-long scene of Jackie Chan stepping in shit and moonwalking it off his shoes. So yeah. Perfect film. Theme: "Raindrops" by Huma-Huma/"No Smoking" PSA by John Waters.
