âPolice Storyâ is still one of Jackie Chanâs best films. The final absolute daring Jackie Chan stunt is one of the greatest in film history that needs to be seen to believe, it is a landmark in action movies, a great stunt pulled off from one of the greatest stuntmen ever, Jackie Chan. Yes he still had Jackieâs trademark comedic touch at times, but he was still pretty dark by the finale. The synthesized score is music to mousse one’s hair by. Seeing Ka-Kui with Selina made her feel jealous as she had no clue who she was (Selina was wearing his jacket and sexy skimpy lingerie clothing at the time), so the detective had to explain that she was just a witness under his police protection. Who can forget the technical Woo Ping timing, blocking, kicking and punching and various skill sets that were all visible to the eye in those earlier films? Kim Newman wrote in the Monthly Film Bulletin, that Police Story starts well with its car chase described as an "astonishing set-piece", but that "once the mix of realistic settings and fantasy action seems to have been established, the film falls back on Chan's clowning and turns into a slapstick comedy heavily dependent on cake-in-the-face jokes."

But—as is the case with most memorable comedies, as well as most memorable thrillers—the excellence of “Police Story” has nothing to do with what kind of movie it is, and everything to do with how it’s executed.Like most of Chan’s signature films, this one is driven by his ingenuity as an athlete, stunt choreographer, and director. The plot finds Chan’s character, Kevin Chan, trying to protect state’s witness Selina Fong (Bridgett Lin), girlfriend of gangster Chu Tao (Chor Yuen), from being abducted and killed before she can testify at a trial.
Politique de cookies | He captures Selina and threatens to kill her to ensure her silence. In performing the outrageous stunt he dislocated his pelvis (never thought that was possible) and suffered a bad back injury and second degree burns. “Police Story” starts and ends with prolonged, elaborately choreographed, exceptionally violent sequences in which, respectively, a mountainside village and a department store are destroyed. In this film Jackie Chan stars as the tough determined honest cop, Sergeant âJackie Chan Ka-Kui.â The Buster Keaton comedy influence is yet again prevalent (check the funny scene when Jackieâs in the police precinct answering 4 or 5 telephones at once). Brave Detective âChan Ka-Kuiâ played amazingly by international superstar Jackie Chan was apart of the sting operation. Police Story 3 (Chinese: 警察故事３超級警察, or Supercop) was made in 1992. The fight goes off in the car park as the âChu Taoâ assassination team were sent to kill them both (or retain Selina), running at Jackie with silver baseball bats and trying to ram him with vehicles. Whatever happens, we're supposed to just accept it. There were many great action and fight sequences in “Police Story” which were groundbreaking and brilliant. The opening action sequence kicks off with a gun battle in a crowded mountainside village; builds toward a car chase, with cops and criminals plowing through the sides of buildings, detonating propane tanks and flattening shanty homes as they go; and ends with Chan trying to head off a hijacked city bus by racing up and down a series of steep hills (like Indiana Jones going after the Ark of the Covenant, but without the horse). Police Story (Chinese: 警察故事; pinyin: Jǐngchá Gùshì; Jyutping: Ging2 caat3 gu3 si6) is a 1985 Hong Kong action–crime film written and directed by Jackie Chan, who also stars in the lead role. The story picks up with Chan Ka-Kui demoted to traffic cop for causing so much damage in his apprehension of Chu. Chan began work on the film after a disappointing experience working with the director James Glickenhaus on The Protector, which was intended to be his entry into the American film market. During the struggle he managed to apprehend the mob secretary of Chu Tao, named Selina Fong (played by Brigitte Lin) and wants to use her as a witness against her boss in court, so he is assigned to protect her. And I have no doubt that Hong Kong audiences in the 80’s saw it as the “Ong Bak” of the era! On December 19, 2006, The Weinstein Company released the film on Region 1 NTSC DVD (under their Dragon Dynasty label) with special features and deleted scenes; it was also released in Canada on January 23, 2007. [14] In South Korea, it was the third highest-grossing film of 1988,[15] with 192,327 ticket sales in Seoul City.
New Police Story (Chinese: 新警察故事), made in 2004, is a reboot of the Police Story series. You got a huge sense of danger.
Voila, ce que j’appelle de la vraie action avec des plans large, des combats, des chorégraphies et des cascades de ouf. A stunt near the end gets repeated at full length three times, from three different angles; this would seem like a display of narcissism if it weren’t one of the greatest stunts in the history of movies, right up there with the collapsing house in “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” and the final fall in “Sharky’s Machine.” There’s no sleight-of-hand involved in this magic, just death defying stunt work and efficient filmmaking that helps you appreciate it. Kevin’s girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung), who thinks Kevin’s cheating on her with Selina, argues with him on a steeply angled street while Kevin leans into the open passenger-side window of his car, serving as a human set of brakes because he accidentally left the vehicle in neutral. Shout! The film is packed with thrills and high octane humour. Chu's defence attorney shows up and accuses the police of misconduct, prompting a beating from an at-wit's-end Ka-Kui, who goes on to extend the beating to Chu Tao before being stopped by his friends. [5], On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 27 reviews, and an average rating of 7.57/10.
