Summary

There simply is no one, in the history of film, like Jackie Chan, who combines action, comedy and death defying stunts in a way that is uniquely his own and his 1985 film Police Story is as thrilling today as it was 32 years ago. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecine-files/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecine-files/support Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

0:00.0	Hi this is Steve. You know we always say that the cinnophiles is a podcast dedicated to the
0:06.5	exploration of great films but maybe that's not quite right. After all greatness can be
0:12.2	pretty tough to define. Maybe a better way to say it is that the
