Police Story (1985) Review

Police Story Dvd Cover

Rating: 5 out of 5

Director: Jackie Chan

Year: 1985

Plot:

The easiest way to follow this one is to simplify the plot. “Police Story” is about a police offer that is framed for the murder of a dirty cop, and he must clear his name by any means necessary. In the mean time there is also subplots that involve mistaken identity, protecting a witness, and one hell of a raid on a drug lord to open things up.

Thoughts:

“Police Story” flows fast, it’s high definition on blu ray, and it is one of the outstanding movies that Jackie Chan has ever been a part of, with incredible stuntwork and some amazing kung fu as well. Chan’s character is framed, and he must clear his name by any means necessary. He goes to some crazy depths to do that, including fighting a drug lord and his henchmen, and much more. He also has to deal with protecting a witness, and well, things get out of hand fast.

The transfer is incredible for this movie, and you’re going to absolutely love the way it looks on modern television screens. The sound is great, the music is good too, and the kung fu is top notch. However, because it’s more of a modern movie, you’re going to find that there’s modern elements to it as well, including gun play, car chases, and more. It definitely features a great deal of back and forth to build the story, and there’s a good sense of danger all around. Chan’s kung fu is great, and something you will be amazed by overall.

“Police Story” delivers on all cylinders. You’re going to love the way it flows, a fast paced cinematic event. Chan’s direction is great, his stunt work is grand, and the brawling is second to none. I give this one a 5 out of 5 rating.
