Jackie Chan’s Police Story

Those who fear that film festivals only show intellectually stimulating films should not miss JACKIE CHAN'S POLICE STORY. Chan, the biggest box office star in Southeast Asia, is a combination of Buster Keaton and Clint Eastwood. His action comedies draw on the traditions of Hollywood genre movies and the wild acrobatics of the Peking Opera. Chan directs as well as stars in his films, performing astounding stunts and sight gags. While remaining relatively unknown in the West, this film is superb, unpretentious entertainment from Hong Kong — one of the world's two remaining centers of truly popular cinema. (The director's preferred dubbed English version will be shown.)
