História da Polícia 4: Primeiro Impacto
Enredo
Em "História da Polícia 4: Primeiro Impacto", o Inspetor Chan Ka-Kui (Jackie Chan) está de volta à ação, desta vez em parceria com a Interpol para derrubar um notório traficante de armas conhecido apenas como "Piedra" (Eric Steinberg). A investigação leva-os à Europa, onde devem navegar por complexas políticas internacionais e corrupção para levar Piedra à justiça. À medida que Chan se aprofunda no caso, ele começa a descobrir uma teia de enganos que ameaça comprometer sua missão. Ele logo se vê num jogo de gato e rato com os leais capangas de Piedra, incluindo a astuta e mortal Madame Mariane (Gabrielle Lust). A ação se desenrola em ritmo alucinante, com Chan a mostrar sua marca registada de mestria em artes marciais e talento cómico. De perseguições em alta velocidade pelas cidades europeias a intensos combates corpo a corpo em becos apertados, os feitos de Chan são tão emocionantes quanto imprevisíveis. À medida que as apostas aumentam, Chan deve confiar na sua inteligência rápida, reflexos rápidos como um raio e profunda compreensão da psicologia humana para enganar os lacaios de Piedra e manter-se um passo à frente. Ao longo do caminho, ele também encontra tempo para alguns momentos alegres com o seu fiel companheiro, o detetive Thomas Griffin (Branford Jones), e uma charmosa agente da polícia francesa, a inspetora Isabelle Laurent (Yan Ni). No final, a determinação e a experiência de Chan provam ser mais do que suficientes para os planos nefastos de Piedra. Com sua ação, humor e coração incessantes, "História da Polícia 4: Primeiro Impacto" é uma adição emocionante à amada franquia História da Polícia.

The US version is such a mess... Tony Tong and Jackie Chan were a perfect match during that period. Their collaborations laid a solid foundation for Jackie Chan's eventual breakthrough into Hollywood. This film, for example, has excellent pacing, style, and story. Plus, the homages and parodies of 007 are quite well done.

"Police Story" seemingly takes a pause here. Watching the outtakes at the end still fills me with emotion. There are so few performers willing to put in this level of dedication. Many films feature scenes where characters investigate in sub-zero temperatures wearing only a thin shirt and jacket. They don't tumble and crawl through the snow on a sled, or fall into icy water. Knowing it's a genuine performance only makes me feel more for him. After witnessing Jackie Chan's action, everything else in other films pales in comparison.

8.0/10. Rewatched on February 15, 2018. Like the third installment, this one came out four years later. Maggie Cheung is gone. The new "Dragon Lady," Wu Chen-chun, has a great figure... The US Blu-ray version is not only shorter but also has terrible picture quality... Rewatched on December 4, 2024, GER German Blu-ray. Runtime 01:47:16. The German version is very clearly restored and is also the uncut version, which is excellent. Many small details are great, such as the falling ladder that scares the opponent about to leave. And the underwater fight, and so on... The German version has a Cantonese audio track, but it's labeled by the Germans as...

It's a shame Maggie Cheung didn't return. This film continues the Jackie Chan action-comedy style, with the backdrop extending to Russia and Ukraine. It's arguably the biggest and most ambitious entry in the Police Story series in terms of investment and scale. Jackie Chan's die-hard performance is as admirable as ever, but at the same time, the film's emphasis on individual heroism reaches its peak.

Jackie Chan was my absolute benchmark for movies growing up. If it had Jackie Chan, it was guaranteed to be good.

The film paints a vivid picture of a world where the pursuit of justice often becomes a labyrinth of its own, blurring the lines between good and evil. Chan Ka-Kui's journey is not just about catching the bad guys—it's about confronting the intricate dance of power and betrayal that defines his reality. A gripping narrative that leaves you pondering the true cost of heroism in a world where the truth is always just out of reach.

"First Strike" sees Jackie Chan reprising his iconic role as Inspector Chan Ka-Kui in this action-packed installment of the Police Story series. With its gripping plot twists and high-octane stunts, this film delivers thrilling fight scenes and impressive set pieces. Chan's trademark blend of humor and physicality shines, making this an entertaining watch. The movie's Cold War-era backdrop adds an interesting layer of complexity, but ultimately, it's Chan's charisma that drives the film forward. A fun, if somewhat formulaic, addition to the franchise.
