It's the joy of watching Chan, a Buster Keaton of kickboxing, hurling himself into every stunt with total commitment, astounding athleticism and oddly unflappable, shaggy-haired grace.
March 7, 2019 | Full Review… -
[Chan's] impeccable sense for how to stage a sequence extends to simple conversations, and the films are built around what's possible in terms of action rather than filling in action to support the plot.
December 28, 2018 | Full Review… -
Chan seems to do everything he can think of to ingratiate himself with viewers.
March 6, 2018 | Full Review… -
One of the great 1980s action films. It's also one of the most 1980s action films.
March 6, 2018 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
The likeable and graceful Chan directs, sings and performs jaw-dropping stunts. Few of his American or Austrian rivals attempt a fraction of that.
June 24, 2006 | Full Review… -
In the course of the story, about drug traffickers, Mr. Chan gets three separate birthday cakes thrown into his face, and participates in several elaborately staged gun fights and car chases.

Oct 10, 2020The plot is pure 80s cop clichés, but that's not why anyone would watch this. You're here for Chan's mad brilliance and the stunts in this thing are something to behold.Alec B Super Reviewer

Jul 26, 2014With enough humor and solidity in its story, Jackie Chan's Police Story is an authentic Chinese cinematic product. With its groundbreaking action and naturally-performed stunts from the superstar martial artist himself, the film was a step ahead of its time and made for an outstanding performance. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

May 17, 2014The opening action scene is clever and eventful, full of impressive stunts and explosives. I had always put off watching this for no good reason, Jackie Chan is well cast and gives everything to the role.Brendan N Super Reviewer
