Cinema Atlas Connection
I saw Police Story probably five or six times in the theater when it first came out in England. It was my favorite movie for a year. That movie blew my mind. For me, being a kid of the 80s, I grew up loving Jackie Chan. ‘Police Story’ and ‘Project A’ were huge influences on me. And even in ‘Scott Pilgrim,’ I tried to do a lot of practical stunts. In ‘Baby Driver,’ it was all about that.
