Nonureva Really Surprised!

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

BA_Harrison Jackie Chan stars as tough police inspector Chan Ka Kui, who is determined to bring Hong Kong drug lord Chu Tao (Yuen Chor) to justice, but who finds himself having to clear his own name when he is framed for the murder of a corrupt cop. Helping Chan to put things right is Chu Tao's secretary Selina (Brigitte Lin), but her presence doesn't sit well with the inspector's jealous girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung).Police Story is widely regarded as being amongst Jackie Chan's best films, but while it undeniably showcases some of the star's most incredible fighting and stunt-work—opening in spectacular fashion with the destruction of a hillside shanty town during a car chase, and closing with a jaw-dropping shopping mall showdown in which no pane of glass remains un- smashed—the simplistic plot and frequent Chaplin-esque comedy routines prevent it from being one of my favourites. Chan is renowned for his trademark blend of kung-fu and comedy, but in this case it seems out of place amidst the organised crime, murder and shooting.6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for the eye-watering moment three men fly through the top window of a double-decker bus and hit the ground in a most painful manner.

ivo-cobra8 Police Story (1985) is Jackie Chan's s best classic action masterpiece from Hong Kong! I love this movie to death and It is one of my favorite best action flicks this one and part II are classic and the best one In the series. This film is fearless action packed filed with spectacular incredible, insane action scenes. I grew up watching Police Story II (1988) as a child, which was my favorite best Jackie Chan movie. Watching this on Blu-ray few days ago I must say this is the original and the best action movie from the 80's of all time. This is Jackie Chan's the best finest action movie of all time, which I really do believe that it is a classic masterpiece! This is my favorite Jackie Chan film which is his best one. Police Story is the finest police action movie of all time. And, yet, believe it or not, it's not the action in the film itself that makes this be the case. This is especially odd in a movie with only a $26 million budget (in 1985!), with multiple real fights, realistic stunts used in the film, Jackie Chan making his own stunts. The acting is believable, the movie is fast paced and highly entraining and it has a humor in it. This movie is what it is, a perfect 10, because it takes the vision of one of the most imaginative directors on Earth, and realizes them almost perfectly with all the tools that fit the task - real stunts used in the film, realistic injuries, Jackie Chan is crazy making his own stunts but that does the man a legend. I don't think Bruce Lee would have done better stunts than Jackie Chan did; on the bus, shop mall, or in the car. Running barely foot down hill for the bus, Jackie is climbing onto the bus using the umbrella, as he reaches around the side of the bus we see the handle of the umbrella is clearly bent, the scene was really crazy and spectacular. Police Story is one of Jackie Chan's best known and beloved movies and for a good reason. It does have a bit too much comedy but the action is just spectacular. My jaw was hitting the floor during the opening sequence when the cars are driving downhill through a shanty town, which interestingly enough was totally ripped off by Michael Bay in Bad Boys II. Tango & Cash (1989) Stallone and Russell's action flick ripped off the scene from the bus. The movies are just ripping off Jackie Chan's films stop doing that. Why would Jackie Chan making two reboots is beyond me? This movie just did not need any sequels. Police Story II and Supercop were great sequels but than the series should have just stop making films. One of Jackie Chan's biggest selling points is that he likes to do his own stunts and Police Story has some of the best you'll ever see. There are scenes which will make you wince as it looks like people are genuinely injured during some of the stunts. During the end credits of this we get some out takes and we see that Jackie and some cast did indeed hurt themselves for their art. Such dedication should be lauded and is why Police Story is one of Chan's finest hours. The music is a little dated now and the humor overload does take away a lot of the tension and excitement but there are a lot of classic moments. The finale in the shopping mall is action-packed and Chan is just ferocious towards the bad guys. The stunts are completely insane in scale (at one point, in the mall Jackie Chan jumped on a Christmas tree pole lights who were plugged into the wall; and he fall on a glass house.) The mall pole slide also nearly paralyzed Jackie Chan after nearly breaking the seventh and eighth vertebrate in his spine. He also dislocated his pelvis doing it and he sustained a real burns on his hands. There was a moment during the opening scene which is something we rarely see in an action movie; one of the police officers gets really scared during a shoot-out and ends up wetting himself in fear which really adds to the scene's realism. I'm pretty sure if you are in a shoot-out in real life you will be terrified so it was something that was a nice addition. The music is a little dated but as the film was out in 1985 then we can let that slide. The film is realistic and Jackie Chan did one of his best acting performances of his life, I have ever seen on a screen.Overall, Police Story is action packed spectacular essential for any action fan. It is Jackie Chan's classic action packed masterpiece and I love this movie to death I love it so much.

Paul Magne Haakonsen This is indeed a typical Jackie Chan movie, I mean that in a positive way, it has all the trademark action and comedy that you always get with Jackie Chan.The story is a generic and predictable story without a doubt, but it is quite alright because Jackie Chan delivers on every account, and does so formidably. And the lovely Maggie Cheung is in the movie as well, just a shame that it was in such a small role.As with Jackie Chan movies in general, you will get an abundance of jaw-dropping stunts and nicely choreographed fight and action scenes. And while the final scene with the department store was impressive, then showing the same stunt from three different camera angles was just silly and very unnecessary.All in all an enjoyable Jackie Chan movie, and one of the more important ones in his career I think.

Giallo Fanatic Seriously, this movie is hard to match in terms of action and martial arts. It is hard for me to decide which one I like more 'Police Story' or 'Project A'. They're both one of the greatest action movies. Anyway, Jackie Chan was setting standards in the early 80's for his output of films and a lot of studios were copying what he was doing. He was upset about it which lead to the movie having the title 'Police Story'. Like most of Jackie Chan's movies 'Police Story' has a simple but effective plot (because the movie is quite focused on the plot) and a simple story. But since the movie doesn't spend too much time on fooling around it is great in my opinion. It has humorous parts and I honestly thought they were out of place but they didn't bother me so I feel they're fine. I also honestly felt the humour here wasn't up to Jackie's standard but that's just me. There isn't some super bad guy here like a usual Jackie movie but I felt that made the movie that much more effective since it gave the movie more of a realistic feeling, thus making the characters seem more human. I feel it gave the movie an extra edge and more punching power.The acting is pretty good as usual with fast dialogs to go a bit faster into the action. Which is in my opinion one of the great things about this movie. I often start to get bored when there is too much dialog in a movie. It even has stunts that many movies will not be able to match for example the squatter village destruction. That scene gives me chills. Even Jackie says it is the best in his movies. Not to mention what happened in the mall at the climax of the movie. As usual 'Police Story' has a razor sharp editing with pin point accuracy. I've always had great respect for the editing in Jackie Chan's movies. Also something that many editors can not match. As usual, Jackie worked his butt off in this movie to create martial arts fights that he feel works for him. The climax at the mall has been matched by only a handful of movies in terms of tension, excitement and choreography. I feel exhausted each time after the climax, like as if I was in a fight. I honestly feel only a handful (if not less) have matched the movie in terms of action and martial arts choreography. I feel this movie will age well and I still love it as much as I loved it when I watched it the first time.9/10
