Howard Patterson, now retired from The Flying Karamazov Brothers, drew quite a bit of inspiration from Jackie Chan's athletic Hong Kong comedies, especially "The Young Master," a 1980 movie that will be screened at 6:30 tonight at the Harvard Exit, as part of the Seattle International Film Festival's "Talking Pictures" series. Patterson, who lives in Portland, will drop by to talk about the film, which he says "changed my life." Chan especially impressed Patterson with the notion that physical comedy "can have at least as much of a role in storytelling as spoken language."
