Police Story 2 (1988)
It’s a no-brainer this week. The great POLICE STORY 2 is discussed. All the old gang is back - Chan, May, Uncle Bill, Raymond and they deliver! Martial arts, stunts and bloopers... What more could you ask for. The question is, did Stanger watch the right movie?

This ep is unhinged greatness lol.
Hell yeah
Holy fuck, Rogers struggling to pretend he's ever seen foreign currency had me cackling.
All for a oliver stones jfk gay Bruce one man show
I had to look up Zero Zero Zero and got halfway through description before remembering I had seen it like 6 months ago.
Merch idea: The Gabrus Butthole Bucket. “Now you can enjoy all the butthole you love in the comfort of your own home!” Side note: why is it always skippy? We were a JIF household, curious if I was raised wrong.
I was raised on JIF as well, but I think Skippy just sounds better when you're doing bits.
Thanks for the podcast. It means a lot
Rodgers Gary Glitter Aids bit almost turned into a Ween song.
don't know if Stang was trolling the wolves bringing up clementines randomly, re: the rotten clementine story from threedom but if so, touché motherfucker
Re: the carnie ladder. The rungs are are a mislead. You only push against the two ropes to balance yourself. That’s why they can’t demo it too many times.
The trick is that it connects at one point instead of two. Makes it like crossing a single rope not a ladder. The margin of error for your centre of gravity narrows to inches.
Den Mother has been Paged. Calling voicemail.
Beefin’ a shit is totally a character in this movie. Definitely the right move to keep critical review lady anonymous. If I wanted a pod that prompted me to harass women on Twitter I would subscribe to Barstool Sports.
Man the entire butt fucking bit/shadow wolves set up had me in tears.
2:36:06 I’m down for a $10 tier for the video of the show!
At least for a little bit.
Only a finger in the pooper, mate.
I saw JFK way too young and the moment that stood out to me the most during and after were the super fast cut scenes of the gay sex stuff with Pesci and Jones and Bacon. I can remember clearly that someone was dipped in like gold body paint and Jones was being like, treated like a dog? Young me was VERY confused.
It is so classic that they go on a Seagal anal play jag, hint at someone who did not like that kind of stuff, and then steer out of that into Amy the Gorilla blowing Stanger in his sauna. Sometimes art transcends itself and just becomes nature again.
Came here to point out this exactly.
The benefit of a foreign language sequel like this is we get an episode that is 90% tangents.
I recreated the courtroom magic bullet scene from JFK (back and to the left) for a high school history class. Got an A.
I've randomly watched a bunch of Maggie Cheung stuff the last few months. It's so weird when you remember how young she is in these (Jackie made her a star super early in her career with the first Police Story), and that she grew into this respected actress who was in all kinds of prestige dramas a decade later. In The Mood For Love is so fucking great. BUT she also starred in her share of batshit insane 90s Hong Kong action vehicles without Jackie. If you want to see her in something truly wild, check out The Heroic Trio. It's her, Michelle Yeoh and Anita Mui (Jackie's stepmom from Drunken Master II) as modern day wire-fu superheroes. https://youtu.be/4KBZaya2JCk
Punting Rodgers’ acquaintances angry review to the wolves was a bigger cliffhanger than any of the Mandalorian finales. I’m dying to hear
I'm so damn excited.
Daniel Craig bursting through the drywall in casino royale rules so hard
Gotta get me a Yamaha Passol scooter now <3<3 heart stickers <3<3
"If you were being hunted, would you go to your aunt's house?" My new icebreaker thanks to Rodgers.
What anime are you watching Gabrus? Find anything you like?
we gotta stop joking about Stanger watching the wrong movie it gives me anxiety
Watched the Criterion for this, didn't realize it's 20 minutes longer than the version I watched last time. The 2-hour version feels pretty bloated in the 2nd half, one of those rare experiences where you're literally waiting for the movie to get to the fireworks factory
Not to belabour the point that Simpsons references are branded in our generation’s brain but ‘when are they getting to the fireworks factory?!’ is such a great critical shorthand.
