Moscow Film Society: Police Story

Moscow Film Society presents POLICE STORY as part of their Hong Kong Cinema Classics series. The jaw-dropping set pieces fly fast and furious in Jackie Chan’s breathtakingly inventive martial-arts comedy, a smash hit that made him a worldwide icon of daredevil action spectacle. 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 rock-’em-sock-’em mayhem that would influence a generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong to Hollywood. Cantonese with English subtitles. Sponsored by Habib Institute for Asian Studies.
