MARCH MADNESS 2022 - DAY 5
🕑 Added 2022-03-05 17:01:02 +0000 UTCPHILADELPHIA WINS! Rocky moves on to the next fight - god bless him.
Up today - a martial arts melee!
It's Jackie Chan's POLICE STORY franchise vs the films of BRUCE LEE!
Chan got his start as a stuntman in Lee's movies before developing his own comedic action style. Whichever legend wins, you're getting iconic fight choreography and STUNTS, baybeeee!
With Police Story, we'd cover:
Police Story (1985)
Police Story 2 (1988)
Supercop (1992)
Crime Story (1993)
First Strike (1996)
We would not cover Supercop 2 (not enough Chan) nor the "reboots" New Police Story and Police Story 2013.
With a Bruce Lee series, we'd take our cues from the Criterion Collection box set:
The Big Boss (1971)
Fist of Fury (1972)
The Way of the Dragon (1972)
Enter the Dragon (1973)
Game of Death (1978)
Who wins here and goes on to face Roger Moore in the next round?

Police Story franchise is one of the all time greats.

Got to go with Police Story. The film opened my eyes up to non-western cinema of all kinds. Bruce is good but the films he's in just aren't up to his star power.
