A brazen mix of head-through-the-glass violence and pie-in-the-face slapstick, with a dash of Capra-esque working-class comedy for good measure, Police Story is remarkably seamless in tone and execution.
The film that made Jackie Chan an international star, Police Story fully embodies the martial artist’s spirit of entertainment – equal parts endearing, goofy and packed with eye-popping kung fu action.
Like many of the most compelling martial-arts movies, the Police Story films more closely resembles a dance picture than any kind of action blockbuster, with meticulously choreographed fight sequences standing in for fan-baiting musical numbers.
This is an awesome movie it has all the elements of a fast paced action film with elements of drama, mystery, comedy, and the choreography and timing is on point, along with the stunts which are incredible and I know the actors and stunt people had to have gotten hurt doing them, Jackie Chan went above and beyond to make this movie standout, and it does even today, this is among Jackie Chan's best movies, and a must watch for martial arts or action movie fans it's a classic for sure.
A 2 years old child was watching actions of this film, and did not allow me to watch any other films, that that starring Jackie Chan. Do we need a better review than this? The film was Directed by Jackie Chan himself as he was totally displeased with the previous movie "The Protector (1985)". It was a good decision by the martial arts legend and he was successful and followed by 7 films in this series. Very Interesting, Thrilling and Funny. A must watch for Jackie fans.
Amazingly entertaining and fun!it was action-packed insane ride,the stunts and fight were literally art the dedication of Jackie was amazing,the music was good,the acting was amazing,the story was simple but great,the decent police with high level skills and full of comedy seeing him was fun,the starting fight and chase scene was intense and awesome,the taking care of Selina and the prank was awesome although the fight at road was amazing,the birthday scene at house and May's small fight and all it was hilarious,although i think the women violence in movie was little extra,the Mafia thing and the police drama was engaging,the Court room Lawyer's conversations and all tricks against the police it was amazing although the tape scene was legendary and hilarious AF,the later reveal of corrupt officer and the false Murder get-away was brilliant and intense,the 4-5 Phones at a time scene and some unusual situations and comedy of JC in movie was amazingly fun and hilarious,the ending mall fight is literally pure authentic and awesome the fights were skeptical and great,the destruction of things in mall and all it was well captured,the stunts were literally Mind-blowing and awesome specially the pole scene it was ground-breaking but the repeating of same scene it felt little odd but the scene was **** cool-down moment with lawyer and Jackie loosing temper and hitting everyone before cut it was **** whole ending was insane and fun.Overall the movie is awesomely fast-paced,action-packed, hilarious and fun,it was entertaining and amazing Movie!
Surprisingly a very good movie even today. The actions scenes are good to follow, sometimes too good = not realistic. My favourite part was in the beginning in the slums. The funny parts are still funny and the more serious parts are convincing. So, it is not a one dimensional movie.
It's a lot of fun, and I mean A LOT OF FUN. Fantastic action sequences and some genuinely great laughs. The movie does not take itself seriously and you shouldn't take it seriously either. Sometimes you just want to put on a movie and watch people get kicked in the chest and fly 15 feet back at 45mph. This is your film.
