ABOUT THE FILMS COPS, 1922, 18 min. Cohen Media. Dir: Buster Keaton, Edward F. Cline Comedy legend Buster Keaton delivers hilarious sight gags and unbelievable stunts in this Kafkaesque short film, which finds an innocent man being hotly pursued by a city’s riotous police force. Format: DCP POLICE STORY (GING CHAAT GOO SI), 1985, 101 min, Hong Kong, Dir: Jackie Chan, Chi-Hwa Chen Following the disappointing reception of THE PROTECTOR in the U.S., Jackie Chan went back to Hong Kong and began working on what would be both a watershed moment in global action cinema and the start of wildly successful franchise. Acknowledged by the star as his best action film, POLICE STORY introduced the world to Chan on a whole new level as police Inspector “Kevin” / Chan Ka-Kui, a relentless cop intent on smashing Chu Tao’s (Chor Yuen) crime syndicate at any cost. With Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung rounding out a stellar cast, POLICE STORY instantly cemented Chan’s place as a legend. Format: DCP
