Jackie Chan leaves Hollywood behind and once again returns as Hong Kong’s action hero! Heroic Duo‘s director Benny Chan comes on board with his expertise on action, drama and character development in breath new life into an old classic. Welcome a brand new police hero for the twenty first century in New Police Story! Jackie has starred in four previous Police Story films: including 1986’s Police Story, Police Story II in 1988, Police Story III: Super Cop (1992) and Police Story IV: First Strike (1996). Police Story took home the Best Film and Best Action Choreography at the Hong Kong Film Awards back when it was released, and even though New Police Story does not feature the usual Jackie character, Kevin Chan Ka Kui, any viewer will know this can only be a Jackie Chan Police Story film!

The film employs all the techniques Benny Chan is famed for: chaotic situations, large explosions, and detailed characters. The plot is tense and rapid, with one explosive scene following another, yet never loses the human touch. We get to see a rare side of Jackie, as a man wrecked with guilt, as well as a loving husband to the character played by Charlie Young, finally returning to the big screen after a long hiatus. Benny managed to capture the tenderness rarely seen in a tough man like Jackie. Jackie himself also takes on the task of action choreographer with Lee Chi Chung and House of Chan martial artists to create the stunning fight scenes that make a Police Story film so memorable.

Heartthrob Daniel Wu takes on the challenging task of playing the main villain, and his “Gang of Five” are the ultimate destruction artists, giving the production a lot of “fun” with exciting destruction sequences. When they executed the police team led by Jackie’s character Wing, many actors, including Deep Ng, were hung upside down 40 feet in the air for a few hours! Expect everything you should from a Jackie Chan film, and the result will still surprise you.

This is a landmark film in Hong Kong’s famed action film genre, with a budget of $120 million Hong Kong dollars, and starring Jackie Chan, Charlie Young, Daniel Wu, Nicholas Tse and Charlene Choi!.
