Jackie Chan? I saw no wonder-cops whippin' up on dozens of extras or anything of the kind. I did see a cop with serious problems, a guy who was depicted as a fuck-up, who regularly beat and mistreated suspects to elicit a confession. Perhaps you have a problem with Koreans using martial arts, in general.
