Jackie Chan does it again
Jackie Chan is truly a legend and he does not let us down with his performance in Police Story. Jackie Chan indulges in some slightly unorthodox policing to ensure that he catches the big boss. Sadly his tactics earn him a demotion and the big boss is out on bail due to a technicality.
But, New Jack criminals need a New Jack cop to stop them, and it?s not long before Chan?s new assignment ? protecting the reluctant star witness ? leads him into the usual death-defying stunts involving buses, cars, lots of glass tables, and some good old fashioned kicking.
Jackie Chan really invented the concept of DVD extra features, when, from the early 1980?s, his films ended with deleted scenes while the credits rolled. He is unashamed of making mistakes, and as an actor who always plays his own stunts, he has had a fair share of accidents along the way. Police Story is all round good entertainment ? they don?t make ?em like this anymore!
If you liked Police Story, you may also like to hire [Police Story II], [Rush Hour] and [Rush Hour 2]. -

Police Glory!
This has to remain one of Jackie Chan's best films. The action is high volume and some scenes are very funny. This film acts as a good starting point for those interested in Jackie's Hong Kong films.
The DVD itself also impressed me allowing you the option to watch the film with subtitles or dubbed. It also contains an interesting commentary from a Hong Kong film expert and a good iterview with Mr. Chan.
If you like Martial Arts movies you'll love this film. -
