Police Story (1985)
9/10
Police Story can actually compete with the all-time great action flicks.
9 March 2023
The last 20 minutes are probably the best 20 minutes of any action movie of all time. This is possibly one of the greatest action movies ever. Hong Kong has produced a lot of great action movies, but not many of them can actually compete with the American movies that actually have substance. This movie features action so great that it can actually compete with the all-time greats.

How can a human move this way? It's insane and awesome to see Jackie fly around on the screen. He has complete control over his body and can move in ways that one shouldn't even be able to.

It's a really good movie with a perfectly okay plot. Some of the absolute sickest stunts ever and completely mindblowing choreography. The fight scenes are bizarre and you are completely amazed when you see them. Perfect mix of humor and action. Everyone who has participated in the film is insanely talented. It's insanely powerful to see that everything is real. That's what's great when all the actors are so talented that you don't have to make a lot of fast cuts and you can keep a camera angle longer so you can see how fast they move and what they do. In other crap movies like the Bourne trilogy, Bourne doesn't come across as some superhero like Jackie Chan does. The Bourne trilogy just does a lot of ugly quick cuts with shaky camera so you can't see what's going on.
