402. Police Story (1985) — Totally Pretentious #21

Shanty towns chases, angry girlfriends, and sugar glass, oh my! Shaun Duke and David Annandale are back at it with a new Totally Pretentious show about Jackie Chan’s 1985 stomach buster, Police Story. Together, they discuss their experience with Hong Kong action cinema, Jackie Chan’s influence on kung fu films, where Police Story fits in Chan’s oeuvre, and so much more! We hope you enjoy the episode!
