ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

leonblackwood Review: After watching a few mediocre Jackie Chan movies, I finally reached a film which I throughly enjoyed, mainly because of the amazing, epic action scenes in the shopping mall at the end. It was good to see Chan act serious at the beginning of the movie but he can't help putting the silly comedy in the middle. The action at the end did make up for the comedic scenes and after such a long gap since I last watched it, it still looks great today. Watching Chan go nuts whilst performing some outrageous stunts really gave this film the "WOW" factor and the Commando like mall scene has never achieved again in today's cinema. Anyway, for people who haven't watched Police Story before, Chan plays Chan Ka Kui whose a cop trying to takedown some drug dealers. After an amazing car chase through a village and a death defying bus chase, he finally catches the criminals and he has to protect the secretary who can win the case against them in court. On the day of the hearing, the secretary gets kidnapped so the case is thrown out of court because of lack of evidence. He then gets framed for a police officers murder so to prove his innocence, he fights to get back the secretary who has evidence against them. The storyline wasn't too bad, along with the acting from the cast but Chan did show true emotion while he was fighting and causing havoc in the mall and village. The ending was a bit abrupt and the girls constant screaming did get on my nerves but the action really saved the day. I personally think that this movie has to go down as a classic because Chan pushes the stunts to the limit and he cut down on the silly, irrelevant comedic scenes which I have seen in a lot of his movies. Anyway, this is definitely worth a watch and I'm sure you will invest in a copy after seeing it. Brilliant!Round-Up: I haven't got a clue how Jackie Chan directed and starred in this movie because there is so much going on. I'm surprised that he also wrote this movie because there isn't that much comedy and he actually gets angry with his enemies. Anyway, this film won the Hong Kong film award for Best Picture and Best Choreography in 1986 but Chan didn't win the best actor or director category, which I think he really did deserve. I personally can't remember the other movies in this franchise so I'm hoping that they will be just as good when I get round to watching them. Fingers Crossed!Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: HK$26,626,760I recommend this movie to people who are into their action/crime/martial arts/comedies starring and directed by Jackie Chan. 8/10

bbickley13-921-58664 I was a teenager when Jackie Chan finally hit it big in America. I went to go see all his American releases and feel in love with the super star that does all of his own stunts. It wasn't until later when I grew up that I watched all his older stuff, which I feel is much better.The biggest difference between his stuff when he was known in America and the stuff when he was just the biggest star in China, is that the stuff he made during his international sensation era was that he was trying hard to appeal to a grander audience. He would do cartoonish films that both adults and kids could see without censorship. Thought these movies where just as entertaining for it's action scenes and stunt work, it's missing something, drama.The stunt work was so intense on this film that it added to the drama of the film. Jackie Chan plays a cop determine to take down a true bad guy and rather than showing this determination by crying on cue, Jackie and his legendary stunt team did it through the action. Jackie hurt himself in order to show officer Kevin Lee's determination to stop the villain.I seen the movie a few time and every time the stunt work just makes me curl. When Jackie gets his head pushed into a glass wall, I felt it. when he was getting jumped by a gang, I felt it. when he was in his car driving down the hill crashing into sheds, I felt it and it hurt.This early work of Chan was nothing but extreme an absolutely must see if you love action movies

david-sarkies This is claimed to be one of the best action films of all time, but I disagree. It is probably one of Jackie's classic action films, but I would say it is far from his best. The thing that sets this apart from some of his better films is that the comedy is not as dominant in this film nor are the stunts all that spectacular. The thing that makes Jackie Chan movies stand out are not just the stunts but also the fight sequences. There was a pretty funky fight scene in a shopping center at the end but it went from fighting around escalators and all that to take a bulk of it in a small department store.The is one of the few Jackie Chan movies with a plot. He is after a big time drug lord, but is set up for murder and the evidence is destroyed. Not only that but because he is assigned to look after a female witness, his relationship is put in jeopardy, especially when the witness manipulates things to make her think he is sleeping with her.This film really has little in the way of outstanding themes. This is a Jackie Chan movie and thus when you approach it you expect it to be all action. It is not all action as it actually delves into the character's private life and the frustrations of Jackie dealing with a girlfriend that thinks he is cheating on her. Sometimes we feel sorry for Jackie because he seems to always play the character who can't hold a relationship down.The thing that sticks in my mind though is the closing credits which contain all of the outtakes. We didn't see any of the blunders, but I did notice that a lot of the production crew, during the filming, were dressed in only shorts making me think that it must be really hot in Hong Kong (it can be). It was still an enjoyable movie though not one of his best.

KineticSeoul This is a good martial arts cop movie directed by Jackie Chan. In this he plays a quick-witted and impulsive cop that pulls pranks once in a while. But overall likable character that would go to any length to take down the bad guys. The story itself is straightforward and cliché, but Jackie Chan's flare to this is what makes this film entertaining to watch. Although it's actually quite a forgettable movie now, although a entertaining popcorn flick. I can tell why this film was such a hit when it first came out. The stunts in this are just radical and not just from Jackie Chan but from a lot of the cast, including the female actresses. They really did put their bodies to the test during the process of making this film. Especially the mall fight sequences at the end, they throw every cool and dangerous stunts at the audiences. There is a reason why Jackie Chan even claims this is one of his best action movie. Jackie's effort really shine through how far he will go to make this film amazing for the viewers. Fans Jackie Chan or action movies in general should check this one out. There is even one chase scene in the beginning that probably inspired Michael Bay when he was directing "Bad Boys 2".7.5/10
