i spent my sick day today in bed binge watching the police story trilogy because i love kung fu movies. anyway, here’s jackie chan hanging off the back of a bus with an umbrella:
in which jackie chan repeatedly legit almost dies in real life in every other scene for the purposes of both action and comedy. absolutely breakneck pace, relentlessly compelling from start to finish. even the scenes that are not literally about fighting involve him regularly performing truly un-fucking-believable feats with his actual human body, sometimes just for seconds-long slapstick gags. going to watch the sequel with my roommates now
I love a good heist movie… if you can call this that.
And I love 70s Pacino (Godfather 1 and 2, … And Justice for All)
If you like seeing this man freak out, walk don’t run watch this now
Recently re-watched this one at the film archive. Lots of funny moments and zany action sequences, including characters that summon flying swords by playing a musical instrument. A very enjoyable, well-made movie.

if you’re a wikipedia addict like me and you like going down internet rabbit-holes, this is a cool website that will take you to random old websites that haven’t been updated in a while. mostly it‘s a lot of old personal websites and blogs which makes it a really nice time capsule from before the internet died.
