Glass Story Parts 1 & 2
Episode 31
Thursday, 19 March, 2026

This week, we’re diving headfirst through multiple panes of glass with a pair of Certified Bangers: Police Story (1985) and Police Story 2 (1988).We’re tracing Jackie Chan’s rise from stuntman to global action icon, and breaking down how he didn’t just star in these films, he built them from the ground up. Part director, part stuntman, but ALL star, Jackie crafts a completely unique auteur style rooted in precision choreography, bone-crunching physical comedy, and a drive to always stay ahead of the curve. From gravity-defying mall showdowns to explosive set pieces that feel one missed step away from disaster, we’re talking about what makes these films tick... and why nobody else has ever quite done it like Jackie.🎬 Movies DiscussedPolice Story (1985, Dir.
