    Police Story 3: Super Cop

    ★★★★½

    Michelle Yeoh just won her Oscar, and that's awesome and I love Everything Everywhere All At Once, but I wanted to celebrate by watching the films that first made me fall in love with her and this is right at the top of the list! Well, except for Crouching Tiger, but I just saw that in the theater so it can wait.

    How many Best Actress winners have ever jumped a motorcycle onto the back of a moving train, I wonder? I haven't researched this, but I suspect the answer only just became "one."

    It really isn't just nostalgia.
    I saw this in the theater when I was ten. I didn't know anything about genres then, but if I had, I would enthusiastically have said that this set the standard for action/adventure films. Watching it now, more than thirty years later, it is still the standard. It has simply never been equaled. There's not a casting choice, not a plot development, not a line of dialog, not a single frame I would change about…

    The catapult...oh, the catapult. I love how much they get out of such simple premises in the Road Runner cartoons.
