"Jackie Chan nearly died making Police Story. The least you can do is see it." - Simon Abrams, The Village Voice
"Police Story really stands as a sterling example of Jackie Chan's commitment to his craft and to his skill as a filmmaker and a stuntman." - Ian Jane, RockShockPop.com
"The film has arguably Jackie's best action choreography with eye-popping memorable stunt work and incredible modern martial arts (check the explosive mall scene)." - Raj Khedun, KungFuKingdom.com
WINNER: Best Picture: Hong Kong Film Awards
The jaw-dropping set pieces fly fast and furious in Jackie Chan's breathtakingly inventive martial-arts comedy, a smash hit that made him a worldwide icon of daredevil action spectacle. The director/star/one-man stunt machine plays Ka-Kui, a Hong Kong police inspector who goes rogue to bring down a drug kingpin and protect the case's star witness (Chinese cinema legend Brigitte Lin) from retribution. Packed wall-to-wall with charmingly goofball slapstick and astounding acrobatic fight choreography - including an epic shopping-mall melee of flying fists and shattered glass - Police Story sets a new standard for rock-'em-sock-'em mayhem that would influence a generation of filmmakers from Hong Kong to Hollywood.
