Fantastic!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

A slicker, glossier and altogether bigger sequel to the first two in the POLICE STORY series, this is another triumph for action man Jackie Chan, this time teamed with the inimitable Michelle Yeoh to deliver some seriously effective thrills and spills. The movie flies along effortlessly and is packed with tension, comedy, and lots of fun antics along the way as Chan and Yeoh infiltrate a gang of drug pushers and desperately attempt to stop getting their covers blown. When staying at a hotel resort, Chan's girlfriend May turns up and all kind of desperate hijinks ensue which are a delight to watch. The action sequences rely more heavily on guns and vehicles here which makes for a pleasing change, although there is a sufficient amount of martial arts combat to appeal to Chan's loyal devotees.This time around, links to the first two films are severed as new locations are introduced and old characters dropped into the background. No superintendent Raymond this time, although Uncle Bill puts in a small but funny turn and Maggie Cheung is around for some comedy antics and looking as lovely as ever. Most of the emphasis comes on Chan and Yeoh, who sparkle with great chemistry, and some nice nasty bad guys in Kenneth Tsang and Yuen Wah. Even Shaw Brothers legend Lo Lieh has a small but welcome role. The action is constant and never-ending, ranging from a major drug deal turned shoot-out and a fight with the police in the restaurant.However, where this film really scores is in the intense final twenty minutes of the climax, which is basically one huge chase taking in cars, vans, a helicopter, and finally a train. I've always been a fan of train-top battles and this offers one of the best with plenty of fights and dangerous situations. Chan's major stunt involving hanging on to a rope ladder from a flying helicopter high in the sky, whilst Yeoh gobsmacks the viewer with a motorbike jump on to a moving train which easily beats Arnie's similar stunt in TERMINATOR 2 by virtue of the fact that it isn't faked - this is real, no wires. Great fights, acting, humour, and production values make this film a feather in the cap of all involved.

The second sequel to the Police Story trilogy is another high-energy, fast-paced and action-packed movie returning Jackie Chan to the role as Hong Kong Detective Kevin Chan. This time he is sent undercover to mainland China, teaming up with INTERPOL Inspector Jessica Yang (Michelle Yeoh), to break up a drug smuggling ring. Chan "befriends" crime boss Panther (Wah Yuen), whose girlfriend knows the secret Swiss bank account number containing millions in drug money.Chan continues to display some of his best martial arts action in this film, with incredible stunt work, daredevil jumps and butt-kicking action. It's good old-fashion fighting skills with no wires and CGI.The plot is full of suspense, especially during the scenes where Chan goes undercover and the entire China countryside where he is sent to is in on the undercover operations as well. We get to see how ruthless and dangerous the drug gang can be, which results in some edge-of-your seat excitement while Chan tries not to get his cover blown.The story is also chock full of slapstick humor; I especially enjoyed the part where Chan's superior, Uncle Bill (Bill Yung), disguises himself as a dowager.The acting is great and all characters contributed to an exciting sequel. Highly recommended! Grade A

When he hears of a special mission that requires a "supercop" from Hong Kong, "Inspector Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) is more than happy to volunteer. However, due to the fact that the mission is in mainland China this requires Chan Ka Kui to inform his girlfriend "May" (Maggie Cheung) that he will be gone for a month. Obviously, since this is a secret mission he can't tell her hardly anything about it. For that matter, he doesn't know too much to tell. What is even worse is the fact that he is totally unaware that he will be teaming up and working in close proximity with a female, Red Chinese equivalent named "Inspector Jessica Yang" (Michelle Yeoh). Neither does he know the trip will eventually lead him and Jessica Yang to Malaysia—where his extremely jealous girlfriend just happens to be guiding a tour group. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I consider this film to be the best of the "Police Story" pictures so far. Naturally, it has an abundance of action but it's the humor which I thought was especially good. In any case, I enjoyed this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

This is my favorite of all Jackie Chan's "Police Story" series.This movie has lot going for it. It's probably the only movie Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeo stars together, and two best talents in martial arts action movie teams up together to get the drug lord in mainland China. Covertly, this is the most comical of all the "Police Story" series drama, but has the most intense action as well. Interaction between Jackie, and Michelle is so funny, but when they get into the action scene, I would dare to say that this is THE best action movie Hong Kong has ever produced.These guys were really "Super Cops", and it's one of the few movies from the early '90s that still doesn't look dated.Simply fantastic, and highly recommended.
