This is not very clear. Could you rewrite this part more clearly? I never heard of Mickey Rourke.
lRourke is an actor of big ego and modest talent. Made his bones in the Pope of Greenwich Village. A couple of years later he played a cop bent on cleaning up NYC’s Chinatown. Chinese kids were shown as dealers hookers and murderers. They were portrayed like Coppola portrayed the mafia, like being bad was cool.
