It is a shame that Jackie Chan’s eventual emergence as a fully -fledged Hollywood star did not happen much earlier when he was at his physical peak. Of course even now at age 65 he is pretty amazing, but the Jackie Chan of POLICE STORY and POLICE STORY 2 would have really amazed the world.

POLICE STORY – In the movie that made him an international star, Jackie Chan plays policeman Ka-kui in the newly-restored Police Story. Ka-kui finds the need to go rogue to protect a star witness (Brigitte Lin, Chungking Express) against the retribution of a local drug lord. All of this is a vehicle for Chan to engage in some of the most memorable cinematic stunts this side of Buster Keaton—haven’t you ever seen a man hang from an umbrella hooked to the side of a moving bus before? In Cantonese with English subtitles.

POLICE STORY 2 – After the events of the first Police Story, Jackie Chan’s Ka-kui has been demoted to a traffic cop and finds himself with a need to win back his girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung, In the Mood for Love). He finds a path to redemption in his pursuit of a group of extortionist bombers, which of course again results in Chan putting life and limb on the line for our collective amusement. In Cantonese with English subtitles.
