It was a movie I watched and liked very much in the past. I watched the film and, unlike most of it, it was as good as it was back in the day.Also, Jackie Chan is not one of the ordinary action-comedy movies. It was easy to find the fugitives.The scene of the scissors on the bomb stage was so beautiful. I just filled my eyes in the final scene of Filmin and it was over. It was very beautiful too.Filmin music was bad. Criminal characters were bad except for the type, but their characters were well chosen.
Series 1667 favorite character was a character that should really be a favorite.
It was a nice film, though the quality was not very high, even though the clothes were big.

I wasn't going into this film expecting much, especially after all the rather dull films Jackie Chan he'd been making in Hollywood, but Jackie can still deliver some solid Hong Kong style action when he's put in control. The first three Police Story films were nothing great in the story and character department, but they were jaw droppingly amazing when it came to the action and particularly the stunt work. The fourth film was fun, but felt like it was trying too hard to be more of a western style of action film, which is not at all why you watch a Jackie Chan film. However, this film does harken back to those first three films in the Police Story series. The story is pretty contrived, overly dramatic, and honestly not all that good, but the action is terrific and almost non-stop. Jackie delivers some good stunt work, though nothing as insane as some of his earlier films, but cut the guy a break. He was 50 years old when he made this film. There is one fight sequence that takes place near the end of the film in a Lego store that could rival the best fight scenes between Jackie and Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. Overall, this film isn't one of Jackie's best, but it does harken back to his earlier films in a way that he hasn't done so in Hollywood for quite some time.

After leading his men into an ambush and witnessing all of their deaths "Senior Inspector Chan Kwok-Wing" (Jackie Chan) turns to alcohol to relieve his pain and guilt. Soon he becomes totally useless and nobody wants to have anything to do with him. Then one day while passed out in an alley he finds that a young policeman "Frank Cheng" (Nicholas Tse) has volunteered to work with him in order to help locate the gang that killed those police officers. Not only that but for some unknown reason he has complete faith in Senior Inspector Chan even when everybody else has none. Unfortunately, catching this gang isn't going to be at all easy. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I thought that this was possibly Jackie Chan's best film to date. Naturally, being a Jackie Chan film it has plenty of action. However, although it has some comedy here and there this film also has some serious and dark moments as well which gave this movie an added dimension not seen in most of his pictures. Be that as it may, I liked this particular movie and I have rated it accordingly.

Definitely the best of the Police Story series, and one of the best movies that Jackie's been in. As much as I love his comedy, I really enjoy seeing him do straight drama. The story and the action are riveting and pretty much nonstop. A small gang of punkass teens are after money and have an insatiable thirst for cop blood. And they are pretty brutal about getting both. The way they go about their mayhem is pretty clever and twisted. One of the best things going in this movie are the teaming of Jackie and Nicholas Nse. Nse's fast talking, smart mouthed younger cop makes a perfect match for Jackie's seasoned and serious veteran. They play off each other perfectly with touches of subtle humor here and there. I would have loved to see them paired up more as this cop duo, but it's now 9 years later already and even Nse himself isn't a kid anymore.A definite winner. Break out the popcorn and settle in with the lights off.
