jackie chan classic directorial feature police story ( 1985 ) be among the most influential and over the top modern day police actioners ever to come out from hong kong . jackie want simply to make a movie which would include the usual kung fu and also fierce gun play and other urban action which would later become very popular and typical among hk director like john woo and ringo lam . police story mix these two action element and style and the result be as wild a it sound . jackie play chan ka kui and a police who get to protect an important witness ( brigitte lin ) who would soon testify against a powerful gangster bos and his ring of criminal activity . jackie girlfriend be play by young and sweet maggie cheung and who isn not a wild here a she would be in her subsequent role like heroic trio ( and the sequel ) by johnnie to and savior of the soul by corey yuen and david lai and many many others . the plot in police story be very simple but it be the action why this film be make in the first place . jackie do of course all the stunt of his character by himself and also hurt himself pretty badly in couple of scene and some of which be also in the complete movie like at the end in which jackie hit his head ( near the eye ) through a very nasty look sharp piece of glass . also jackie stunt team member almost get themselves kill during filming of this film . the scene in which a bus stops right before jackie and spit the kidnapper through the windshield and go really bad a the bus stop too early and the stuntmen do not fly a they be suppose to . they be suppose to fly on the car park in the front of the bus but their flight be too short and they hit through the asphalt with hospital level injury . during the end credit and there be a behind the scene imagery and image of these injured actor and it all look really bad and almost tasteless and but fortunately no one get kill or injure too severely . the action be more than plentiful and imaginative a can be expect by ( action ) director chan . the now legendary bus scene and shopping mall scene at then end be most likely among the wild scene any action film have be able to deliver . jackie always tell how important editing be ( which be true ) and it really show in his action scene and their timing which be perfect and make the film look so ultra kinetic when compare to hollywood effort and for instance . there hardly any slow moment here and also those moment be interesting and the film never become boring or hard to watch . but there be again one negative point which i can not stand in hk action comedy and which be this comedy itself . the comedy isn not funny especially when the error and amateurish element in the screenplay aren not there by accident but because of the writer want to add them there and without necessarily understand that they be sign of bad script and stupid dialogue . i mean those scene like the stab murder attempt at the beginning when the murderer just shout and scream and make face and act like a drunken clown from some slapstick nightmare and and he be there to murder that girl . this kind of acting be stupid and inept and i wouldn not like to see it in a film which be otherwise very great in it own genre . character also speak their thought which be also a sign of bad script because those loud thought be there just to make thing clear even for the stupid viewer and thus make thing way too simple and light . even if the film be comic and not so serious and these kind of stupidity should not be there and they can not be forgiven too easily . police story be a fast speed and full impact and ball to the wall action adventure miracle from hong kong and from the time when jackie be very sad because of the bad result he get with the u produce the protector a he do not have the same thought about the film a director james glickenhaus have and thus the result do not please audience and jackie and he return to hong kong to make more personal and inventive film . that he definitely do and the result be a wild today a it be back then in the 80 . this be among the most insane action film ever and and it would be somewhat perfect without the flaw i mention . positive .
