Film Review – The Police Story Trilogy (Eureka Classics)

Jackie Chan became an icon of Chinese cinema in the mid 80’s and there was nothing that cemented his status as their top action star like Police Story. In Police Story, Chan took the director’s chair and also starred as Chan Ka-Kui, a cop faced with many dangerous situations when forced to bring down a notorious crime lord. Jackie Chan himself has said that Police Story is the best film he ever…

"We're all upset about cop!Vi"

No we're not, personally I love watching victims become perpetrators and characters becoming the very thing they sought to destroy

[buccellato]

Fucks me up to think about how Legato's legacy in-universe after his death in Trimax (and presumably Tristamp) is probably gonna be how much he sucked and nothing else....

Like, nobody will like Knives but Vash will be long-lived enough to be able to eventually talk about his good qualities from when he was a child and his quasi-redemption in his last days. But who remembers Legato? Livio and Vash are the only living people with any extended memory of him and neither of them would have anything nice to say (and rightfully so). Neither of them probably knew he was a slave, either—as far as Vash can tell this dude showed up one day and hated his guts, for all he knows he's just another survivor from July! Outside of Knives, Elendira, Legato, and maybe Conrad, I don't think any other character knows his actual life story.

And to add on to that, there's no way of looking up that past either—he had no name or personhood before he was effectively rescued, so who could investigators or reporters or archivists track down for information? The human being that was Legato only existed for as long as he knew Knives, before that he was something to be kept and abused as an object. There's presumably no surviving family they can reliably contact, nobody to really say "yes I knew him, here's what his life was like, here's how we can prevent something like this from happening again".

His entire existence will be reduced down to "a human weapon that was freakishly loyal to public enemy #1" without any reflection on the mechanisms that made him the way he was because there's just no actual knowledge of his life.

Michelle Yeoh retired for acting in the late 80s and then came back five years later and did like seven movies in the space of a year.

What a legend.
