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. Mar 6, 2019 | 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. Jun 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. Aug 30, 2004 | Rating: 3/4

In Police Story, Chan is able to highlight all of his gifts as an action star, a comedic star, and as a director balancing the two. Jan 31, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | 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. Dec 28, 2018 | Full Review…

Featuring cinema's best bus-related stunt sequence, a spectacular finale in a shopping mall and, um, multiple instances of its star getting hit in the face with cake. Sep 19, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Just as good as the fights though are Police Story's comic set pieces, especially one totally unrelated to any kind of plot development, which finds Chan alone in the precinct office as everyone else goes to lunch. Mar 8, 2018 | Full Review…

Algumas das gags (como a confusão com os telefones) caem no vazio, mas as seqüências de ação, como sempre esperamos de Chan, são formidáveis. May 16, 2006 | Rating: 4/5

With 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. 4/5

A solid 80's Chan flick that has all his trademark humor, great fight choreography, and some pretty amazing stunts. Some of it is slow-going, but the "wow" scenes (especially a near constant series of fights and stunts near the end) definitely make it worth seeing for any Jackie Chan fan.
Highly entertaining classic from Jackie Chan. With a fearless team of stuntmen the action is spectacular and painful to see. There's also some quite funny sequences with Jackie showing off his comedic talent also. Never a dull moment to be had in this, it's very watchable no matter what your mood.
