ibrarsiddiqi Jackie Chan's film history is predominantly home based in Hong Kong and is a different affair to his Hollywood films which to be fair have fared well against others of similar genres. His work is magnificent, the story-line is simple and its good, clean wholesome entertainment interspersed with an excellent script, comedy and those stunts from the man himself.It's a must see for anyone of all ages in a time when Hollywood began to spiral into a nose dive with Terminators, Predators and a general decline of cinematic entertainment, in the true definition of entertainment.If you've never seen films from around further afield, Jackie will be the best tour guide you'd need.
Leofwine_draca Top-notch outing from director and star Jackie Chan at the peak of his powers, offering a plot which allows Chan to create a well-acted and likable character, superb action sequences - I mean, they really are the best here I've ever seen - a memorable supporting cast, and excellent production values. The film opens with a major fast-paced shoot-out, which is followed by an amazing stunt involving a number of vehicles rolling down a hill and demolishing a shanty-town in the process; for sheer visual spectacle this takes some beating. The set-piece is followed by a chase involving a bus which has a nice pay-off. Finally the action finishes and the viewer can take a breather whilst the plot evolves.Like most modern-day successful Chan films, the film takes the structure of having a major action event followed by some plot furthering, then of course the physical and fast-paced humour that Chan always inserts into his films. Most of the comedy here comes from Chan being given the job of Brigitte Lin's bodyguard, and the scrapes and pitfalls he falls into as he tries to win her affections. The light-hearted, good-natured humour is fun and pleasant to watch, which makes a change from the cruel and often offensive humour seen in modern cinema. Then suddenly we're back into the thick of the action, with Chan doing some amazing stuff like taking on a gang of bad guys, kicking people through car windscreens and hitting someone so hard with a car door that it flies off! Things eventually become more serious when Chan finds himself framed and is forced to take his own superior hostage to escape. Then the action moves to a shopping mall, where you better hold on to your hat because the conclusion is one of the best ever filmed. An action-packed odyssey of incredibly dangerous back-breaking stunts, physical humour, super-fast martial arts moves, and more breaking glass than you can shake a stick at. POLICE STORY definitely holds the record for "most glass broken in a film, ever" and the bone-crunching finale is the stuff that action fans' dreams are made of. The lack of special effects and the work of the stunt team add to the excitement, putting you into the thick of the action so that you really feel every blow.Chan is, as I mentioned before, at the peak of his game and his character a real revelation. He plays a straight-forward, occasionally bumbling everyday kind of character and this is a major strength for the film, because you end up feeling closer and more in league than if he was some kind of superman a la Schwarzenegger. The supporting cast is strong and blessed with memorable performances, especially the overacting superiors and the two girls caught up in the fray, Brigitte Lin and the beautiful Maggie Cheung, who has a smaller supporting role and is a little wasted (by that I mean in terms of her role, not that she's on drugs). Once again there are memorable stunts (the famous "pole slide" being the best, quickly followed by the bus routine) and all kinds of physical movements which are delightful. A magnificent action-cum-comedy-thriller which taught Hollywood a thing or two, but which stands light years ahead of most contemporary American fare.
Adam Venedam YES I said that right, not just Jackie Chan's BEST MOVIE but I really think its one of the best films every made, why?Here are my reasonsThe action is hands down some of the best you will EVER see! I think it will never be out done.The STUNTS are on a whole other level, the ending stunt Jackie does down the pole is probably one of his most dangerous and most spectacular looking stunts ever captured on film!I found the comedy hilariousThe story is probably one of Chan's most interesting, each and every scene progresses the plot, there are some funny scenes that do slow each scene down but in my opinion it works like magic as it is always balancing out the serious moments with comedy and it continually switches up until the end.One thing you have to keep in mind, do not go into this film thinking its going to be hardcore action all the way, otherwise you may be disappointed.I will say if there is anything NEGATIVE about this film, its that the difference in tones between the action and comedy is quite literally between light and dayThe action sometimes is really serious, and then the comedy is very light hearted and carefree! But I think it works perfectly, for instance,We see the funny scene of Chan having fun looking around all the corners to make it look like hes protecting the witness and then out of nowhere BOOM he gets into a crazy insane brawl in the streets, the bad guys are trying to hit him with there cars, they all have bats, one guy even gets dropped kicked into a car windshield! Will always be one of my favorite films of all time
lucas_carvalhaes If you like some beautiful fighting with real moves this is the one for you! Chan directs and acts amazingly here making the entire movie very realistic and believable... well, all fights are actually 'real'. No stuntman, Chan actually got hurt several times making this movie.There isn't much to talk about here, the entire movie is based on crazy moves. There are tons of bad guys flying every where destroying ridiculous amounts of fake glass. For a police movie there isn't much shooting, but then again you are watching a fighting movie. A good thing here is that you will get to know who is Jackie a lot more, I expected a lot less from him and the action here proved me wrong.... really wrong.The plot isn't that solid, nor are the characters but that is not why you are searching a Jackie Chan, huh? So go enjoy this old but gold piece, and have some fun with friends while listening to those old guns effects that sound like laser and some incredible real moves.
