n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is the movie that made me remember Jackie Chan and be a longlife fan of him. At that time there were NO OTHER MOVIE in the world that could compare to this one! No real 'hollywood safety' or stuntdoubles when making this movie. Putting their real life in real danger not once, they did get hurt badly making this movie for you. Jackie Chan has never used a double in a movie.. that is just who he is. And this movie just blew me away and very few movies has done that over the decades to me ever since.

Jackie Chan stars as tough police inspector Chan Ka Kui, who is determined to bring Hong Kong drug lord Chu Tao (Yuen Chor) to justice, but who finds himself having to clear his own name when he is framed for the murder of a corrupt cop. Helping Chan to put things right is Chu Tao's secretary Selina (Brigitte Lin), but her presence doesn't sit well with the inspector's jealous girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung).Police Story is widely regarded as being amongst Jackie Chan's best films, but while it undeniably showcases some of the star's most incredible fighting and stunt-work—opening in spectacular fashion with the destruction of a hillside shanty town during a car chase, and closing with a jaw-dropping shopping mall showdown in which no pane of glass remains un- smashed—the simplistic plot and frequent Chaplin-esque comedy routines prevent it from being one of my favourites. Chan is renowned for his trademark blend of kung-fu and comedy, but in this case it seems out of place amidst the organised crime, murder and shooting.6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for the eye-watering moment three men fly through the top window of a double-decker bus and hit the ground in a most painful manner.

This is indeed a typical Jackie Chan movie, I mean that in a positive way, it has all the trademark action and comedy that you always get with Jackie Chan.The story is a generic and predictable story without a doubt, but it is quite alright because Jackie Chan delivers on every account, and does so formidably. And the lovely Maggie Cheung is in the movie as well, just a shame that it was in such a small role.As with Jackie Chan movies in general, you will get an abundance of jaw-dropping stunts and nicely choreographed fight and action scenes. And while the final scene with the department store was impressive, then showing the same stunt from three different camera angles was just silly and very unnecessary.All in all an enjoyable Jackie Chan movie, and one of the more important ones in his career I think.

This is a good martial arts cop movie directed by Jackie Chan. In this he plays a quick-witted and impulsive cop that pulls pranks once in a while. But overall likable character that would go to any length to take down the bad guys. The story itself is straightforward and cliché, but Jackie Chan's flare to this is what makes this film entertaining to watch. Although it's actually quite a forgettable movie now, although a entertaining popcorn flick. I can tell why this film was such a hit when it first came out. The stunts in this are just radical and not just from Jackie Chan but from a lot of the cast, including the female actresses. They really did put their bodies to the test during the process of making this film. Especially the mall fight sequences at the end, they throw every cool and dangerous stunts at the audiences. There is a reason why Jackie Chan even claims this is one of his best action movie. Jackie's effort really shine through how far he will go to make this film amazing for the viewers. Fans Jackie Chan or action movies in general should check this one out. There is even one chase scene in the beginning that probably inspired Michael Bay when he was directing "Bad Boys 2".7.5/10
