Police Story (1985)
You wanted subtitles, you got em. POLICE STORY marks the first time the Boyz have covered a subtitled film for the Pateron. Jackie Chan is truly peerless and he’s at the height of his powers in this one. The tonal shifts in this movie are fucking bananas but the action is spectacular, the comedy is funny, the romance is confusing and the drama is unnecessary. The action and stunts are so good in this 1 hour 40 minute movie that you don’t mind the 37 minute court scene. They don’t make em like they used to ActionBaby, this one will make you long for the days people were getting legitimately hurt on film.

Found a cool video of Jackie talking about the big stunt at the end. He also mentions that he was filming this during the day and another movie at night, what an animal. <a href="https://youtu.be/2ZEVz1V-X4w" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/2ZEVz1V-X4w</a>
I think Stallone was really taken with this movie. In Tango & Cash, as you guys have mentioned already, he ripped off the “shooting out the oncoming car’s windows” scene, but he also does martial arts in the end sequence! I mean, the closest he gets to martial arts, but still. I don’t think he did any back spin kicks in any other movie...
I love you Boyz, but you're not doing yourself any favors as three white guys trashing on Lin Manuel Miranda and Hamilton.
It's okay, Lin Manuel Miranda is a shadow wolf.
StangerGHOST!!!! Yay!!! But seriously it was StangerALIEN. Think it over.
I remember when Frank Stallone was going off on Mark Rylance. Pretty fucking funny. "If I was Mark? I would have been embarrassed” and “Mark Rylance couldn’t even comb his hair for Christ sake this is the 3rd time Sly’s gotten ripped off.”
PRAISE THE PORCELIN GODS!!
I remember being introduced to Jackie Chan the same way as Rogers, through the MTV Movie Awards where he got the lifetime achievement award. I watched it on re-runs a couple times just to see the long montage again <a href="https://youtu.be/TPcOIz06n6I" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/TPcOIz06n6I</a>
What am I hearing? Rumble in the Bronx is great!
The podcast has fully devolved into three 40 year-old men trying to remember the names of songs, complaining about who paid for the tip and talking shit about their friends behind their backs. And I love it.

Been waiting for this beauty. This was one of the only other movies the rich psycho Belgian guy used to watch in my dorm at university apart from mostly Van Damme and Norris. 🤪
He sounds cool as hell.
Drunken Master doesn't classify as subtitled?
Film Fan, always pointing out what the rest of us just let go 😊😉
