Happy holidays! Grateful to my incredibly smart and passionate guests to cover a genre I'm not as well-versed in - Hong Kong cinema particularly martial arts action. I am familiar with Buster Keaton though unlike the first time I saw Rumble In The Bronx back in 1995 at the local multiplex. Nevertheless, I know I was watching a legendary talent of the highest caliber even back then. Joining me for a discussion on the directorial work of a master stunt man, actor, singer, death-defying daredevil Jackie Chan… are newcomer Sam Inglis and returning genre champion Gabe Powers. We talk about Jackie's debut, history and transition into the mainstream focusing on many of his standout titles. Stay tuned for the favorite films of 2024 episode in a couple weeks and thank you all for the support and for listening this year and beyond! And huge gratitude to Sam and Gabe for bringing their expertise that will likely have you jotting down titles to add to your watch list the way they did for me.00:00 - 03:57 - Introduction / Changes To The Show In 202503:58 - 10:49 - Guest Introductions / Sam's Origin Story10:50 - 01:34:51 - Chan's History / Fearless Hyena / Young Master / Project A01:34:52 - 02:25:19 - Police Story / Miracles / Armour Of God II02:25:20 - 02:56:53 - Drunken Master II / Other Notable Titles / OutroBe sure to follow Sam!https://bsky.app/profile/24fpsuk.bsky.socialhttps://letterboxd.com/24FPSUKhttps://open.spotify.com/show/17u9DSmsiByQ56LijyERooBe sure to follow Gabe!https://genregrinder.comhttps://letterboxd.com/gabepowershttps://bsky.app/profile/gabepowers.bsky.socialSubscribe to the new Substack / Bluesky / Letterboxd!https://directorsclub.substack.comhttps://bsky.app/profile/jimlaczkowski.bsky.socialhttps://letterboxd.com/jimlaczkowskiDirector's Club is a reader-supported publication.
