	Police Story (1985)
		Police Story possesses some of the most insane stuntwork ever put on film, and the proof of that is the sheer amount of people put in the hospital.
		Police Story is a prime example of what made Chan so appealing to audiences.
		Police Story is one of those rare cases of a film's artistic execution overcoming its typically limited genre.

	Police Story 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Police Story 3 or Super Cop (警察故事３超級警察) is a 1992 Hong Kong movie starring Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung.
		It is the sequel to Police Story 2.
		Michelle Yeoh went on to star in a 1993 sequel to this film which cannot be considered a proper part of the Police Story series, but can be considered a spin-off in its own right.

	Police Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Police Story was an anthology television drama on the NBC broadcast network from the years 1973 through 1977.
		The show was the brainchild of author and former policeman Joseph Wambaugh and represented a major step forward in the realistic depiction of police work and violence on network TV.
		The anthology format meant that a new story and new characters would be introduced each week and this made the show expensive.

	Police Story by Matt Stevens
		Story, performances, direction, music are all as good as it gets with this film and the action sequences are so riveting, so powerful, so damned exciting, that many who saw it in a theater jumped out of their seats applauding and cheering when it was over.
		In the past, the only films that were released with their original mono tracks were the ones where the original sound stems were missing and all that was left was a combined track.
		POLICE STORY’s new 5.1 soundtrack is actually quite good, but it does not contain the original sound effects and instead has the replaced sounds that are heard on the Media Asia DVD.

	Police Story
		One of the most influential films ever to come out of Hong Kong, Police Story was a box-office sensation in Hong Kong and a huge theatrical hit on the international festival circuit.
		The film opens with a stakeout leading to a spectacular chase down the side of a mountain, smashing through a shanty town on the slope.
		This is a film made to showcase all the wonders of the stuntman's art, from car chases, through fight scenes with multiple participants, falls from a great height, and of course a generous dose of people being thrown through glass.

	[KFCC] Police Story Review
		Police Story offers up Chan with his expected yet unusual outrageous stunts mixed with his brand of physical humor (the bouncing and juggling of the telephones while answering them is comedic brilliance).
		However, the one "element" that always disappoints me with the Police Story films is how they under use Maggie Cheung: One of my favorite actresses and her character May only seems to grace the screen for a laugh or for a beating.
		Police Story always seems to be on people's criteria when judging any Jackie Chan film in the stunt and action department and it shows.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Police Story (1985)
		Police Story, the first in a confusingly named series of Jackie Chan films (there were no less than three movies named Police Story 4, with or without some kind of subtitle), has a surprisingly solid story.
		Normally, the fun of Jackie Chan movies is to marvel at his lightning-fast fight scenes and spectacular stunts, all of which he performs himself, and laugh at his unpretentious, self-effacing humor.
		Police Story has both of these, but the spotlight is on the story.

	New Police Story : film review
		Police Story is a film with none of the above worries, for the simple reason that it was pretty rubbish to begin with.
		It had terrible characters, terrible dialogue and terrible acting in spades: in fact it was a success simply for the amusing awfulness of all three combined with stunt man turned superstar Jackie Chan’s amazing action scenes.
		With all the usual provisos about martial arts movies stuck on (if you like X you’ll like Y etc.), New Police Story is genuinely watchable, genuinely enjoyable, and genuinely not nearly as crap as it could have been: I'm looking forward to the next remake already.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Police Story
		Police Story was Jackie Chan's reaction to his first failed attempts to break into Hollywood.
		The movie opens during a police operation, the aim of which is to catch some drug dealers who are transacting business near a shanty town built on a hillside.
		Police Story is a fun movie, and you should see it.

	West Side Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To this day, however, mentioning "West Side Story" in Puerto Rico is practically a taboo, and most Puerto Ricans perceive the play and subsequent film (still, even more than forty years after their publication) as the originators of an offensive stereotype that has been slow and difficult to remove from the collective American psyche.
		Finally, she reminds people that the basic premise of the story -love conquering hatred- and the veiled criticism of racism and bigotry in the plot are missed by many of the play's detractors.
		Maria's survival at the end of the story (despite her threats to commit suicide with the same gun that killed her lover) departs from Shakespeare's ending wherein Juliet willingly commits suicide with Romeo's dagger.

	LoveAsianFilm.com - Police Story (1985)
		Police Story for example has everything you could ask for, truly humorous moments and some of the best action you could ever ask for on screen.
		This film still lives on as one of Jackie's finest (his favorite "action" film) and one of the films that is COMPLETE 100% entertainment from beginning to end.
		Of course the film has to open with something memorable and that is of course the chase down the shanty village, where they basically destroy the hell out of the cars.

		Therefore allowing more time for people to remove or replace their window film and, purely by coincidence, more time for people to forget that this law exists and so it can conveniently be forgotten about only to be brought back when certain police chiefs want to earn brownie points with their superiors.
		One hitch to this cunning plan was that as the new law states that the legal minimum opacity is 40%, the new cars are therefore illegal are cannot be used because their windows are too heavily tinted.
		Because the police had decided that it wouldn’t be fair to punish people during the first few months of the new law – so they were only warned.

		It was in this film that many of Chan's elite stunt workers were seriously injured in the principal photography alone, and the opening bus sequence put a further 4 into hospital.
		Police Story features stunts such as Jackie Chan hanging off the back of a moving bus, standing in front of said bus and even a scene where he scales the outside of a multi story building.
		The film is over 10 years old, packaged on 1 disk with all of it's extras, including quite a lot of trailers, and this is usually a sign of disaster.

	DVD Times - Police Story (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Police Story is a firm favourite amongst Jackie Chan addicts and after watching this classic on the DVD format (my first time in far too many years!) it is easy to understand why.
		Die hard Police Story fans will no doubt be aware of the Japanese Laserdisc release that contains both an extended opening and an extended ending to the film and while Hong Kong Legends could not obtain the rights to the opening they have managed to include the extended ending with the alternate outtakes montage.
		Put simply Police Story is Chan doing what he does best and deserves to be in any fans collection and for those uninitiated in the ways of Chan then Police Story serves as a fine introduction piece.

	The Film Asylum - New Police Story (Jackie Chan, Charlie Young)
		Chan (Jackie Chan) is the Hong Kong police's resident super cop; the most decorated and respected office on the force.
		When a gang of callous thieves addicted to extreme sports and video games breaks open a bank safe, then purposely activates the alarm and publicly challenges the police to stop them, Chan boasts that he will apprehend the gang within three hours, and leads his team of officers in an attack on the gang's powerbase.
		As the police team moves closer and closer to their quarry, the ensuing mayhem provides a timely and unforgettable reminder of why Jackie Chan is considered one of the greatest international action superstars of his generation

	Police Story 3: Supercop review
		Its intriguing and complex story (a rarity in Jackie's films), humour, martial arts, and jaw-dropping action scenes, especially in the spectacular climax set on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, are perfectly brought together by director Stanley Tong to create a movie that even James Bond would be proud of.
		The inclusion of Asian (and now international) superstar Michelle Yeoh is the icing on the cake, with what she does in the film leading many to say she is actually the "supercop" of the title.
		Though some of these films are hit-and-miss, his trademark brand of stuntwork, fisticuffs, comedy, and general eagerness to entertain and put a smile on his audience's faces has stamped him as one of the most popular actors in the world today.

		Jackie begins the film as a traffic cop — demoted because of his actions in the first film — and soon finds out that his nemesis Koo is out of jail and is promising revenge.
		At this point in the story it turns into a very good police procedural story as Jackie and his men follow up on leads to track down the bombers.

		The shoot outs in the film are shot with a lot of style, but they are also some of the most violent and bloody shoot outs ever put in a Jackie Chan flick (but not as violent or as bloody as your average John Woo flick).
		The only negative with this film is that some viewers may not buy Jackie as a serious actor, but that isn't really a fault of the film.
		And the film as a whole is a great Family film, so don't be expecting some balls to the wall action flick.

	KARAZEN : New Police Story Reviews : Chinese Movie : Jackie Chan : DVD
		Police Story took home the Best Film and Best Action Choreography at the Hong Kong Film Awards back when it was released, and even though New Police Story does not feature the usual Jackie character, Kevin Chan Ka Kui, but any viewer will know this can only be a Jackie Chan Police Story film!
		The film employs all the techniques Benny Chan is famed for: chaotic situations, large explosions, and capturing the essence of the characters.
		New Police Story took me back to the days when you knew just what to expect from a Jackie Chan flick; extra tight fast and fluid martial arts choreography, tons of stunts and explosions and couple of heaping spoonfuls of comedy just for good measure.

		New Police Story sees him do this once more but unfortunately he doesn't quite grasp where to draw the line, something that saddens me as we've seen him do much better and while he doesn't usually get high praise for his acting abilities he does have the talent deep down.
		In the case of New Police Story his balance of comedy and drama is finely attuned and this is a much needed boost to relieve the film from ever becoming a depressing piece of work.
		Not only does the film have plenty of superb action to keep fans happy but it is shot beautifully, giving undoubtedly one of the most gorgeous impressions of Hong Kong in recent memory.

		New Police Story is a step in that direction with a sophisticated script by Hong Kong action film standards, although a number of missteps keep Jackie from succeeding entirely.
		After overwhelming the police with superior firepower, they make their getaway to a hideout and with little more than three hours notice, set up a trap for the arriving Inspector Chan and his team.
		Here, Jackie spends most of the film haunted by the deaths of his men and his fear of facing the woman he loves, but let down by allowing her brother to die.

	Police Story
		The outcome was 'Police Story' - a mix of Chan's distinctive style of kung fu comedy with a very American genre that resulted in one of Chan's (and Hong Kong's) finest films to date.
		Showcasing his unique brand of excessively dangerous stuntwork combined with his superb fight choreography, 'Police Story' set the benchmark for all of Chan's films to follow introducing numerous trademarks such as undertaking his own stunts and the infamous closing credit outtakes.
		This is a passable transfer of one of Jackie's classic films thanks to the print remaining fairly clean and the good levels of detail.
