This is an era of risking life and limb. The "legendary" status, the stunts, the insistence on no doubles, the countless injuries - I only came to realize the full extent of it through later interviews and writings.

Jackie Chan's fame is no accident; it's the result of his incredible dedication and relentless commitment. He truly gives it his all.

The most impressive Jackie Chan movie I've ever seen; "breathtaking" doesn't even begin to cover it. The Jackie Chan Stunt Team's death-defying dedication makes all those hollow Hollywood action flicks look like a joke. If "King of Comedy" made audiences realize that Stephen Chow is an art-house director, then "Police Story" proves that Jackie Chan is a top-tier commercial film director. The narrative efficiency and seamless transitions are remarkable, and all the high-difficulty action sequences still leave me speechless even after thirty years. Cars hurtling down hillsides, the brawl through the shopping mall glass – these designs are pure visual spectacle, and it was all achieved for real by the filmmakers. Jackie Chan's leap from the mall...

Love watching Maggie Cheung get dragged down from her innocent, naive roles!
