Movie Reviews of New Police Story
Movie Review: whoa....
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased New Police Story recently, and after watching it with some friends, we all looked at each other and stated the above: WHOA. I grew up with Jackie in some hilarious movies, and I knew he had starred in movies with a serious flair, but this took it to a higher level. To see him perform as a once highly accomplished Police office who has fallen from grace, and the reasons behind it is truly refreshing.
Jackie Chan is in my eyes one of the greatest martial arts movie stars, and his resume adds substance to it. But this was almost like a passsing of the torch to Nicholas Tse, a rising star in HK, and hopefully for the whole world. They worked well together, and the chemistry with the other co-stars such as Daniel Wu, Tak-Bun Wong, Alva Chung, and others is simply incredible. But that is to be expected with the man Jackie Chan.
As with the many movies he's in, there is comedy that I believe is placed in the right places. Nicholas Tse plays a good part as a happy-go-lucky person that irritates an emotionally scarred Chan at first, but proves to be his guardian angel in the end.
The extras on the DVD is good, but are not subtitled. A small problem, but it doesn't wipe out the entertainment value. The bloopers are one of my favorites during the end credits, and regardless of what language it may be in, it will bring a smile to your face.
I actually found myself watching the music video that Mr. Chan produced (ok it's not 50 Cent or All American Rejects, but c'mon...). It was fun to watch, and the song itself was pretty solid. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Overall, New Police Story is worth watching, if anything, for the action scenes and dark humor. I recommend this movie for all Jackie Chan fans, for this highlights his skill, both in action and in drama, in a well-rounded form. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I believe it's worth the high rating, so I say watch it for yourself and then make your decision.
Movie Review: Jackie's Best Film In Ages!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you Jackie Chan fans who have not seen NEW POLICE STORY yet, SEE IT !!!!!!!
This is one of his best films in years, featuring his strongest dramatic performance since HEART OF DRAGON and CRIME STORY. There's drama (Jackie's character can't stop blaming himself for the deaths of some of his co-workers), suspense (will bombs that have been triggered go off?), character development (we actually get to see what motivates the main characters, especially Jackie's and Daniel Wu's!), gunplay (lots of excitement during armed robberies), kung fu (Jackie shows no signs of slowing down!), and amazing stunt action (buses, cars, rollerblades, bicycles, and very tall buildings!). Even Daniel Wu turns in a GREAT performance! I've always hated this guy's performances in the past because his acting has always been weak, but this movie has completely changed my mind. He raised the bar, and succeeded in surpassing it. Bravo, Mr. Wu!
NEW POLICE STORY is a tough, violent, melodramatic (in the best sense of the term) film, and a great change of pace for Jackie Chan...and his fans! It is a must-see Jackie Chan film. Welcome back, Jack...ie.
Warning: Do NOT watch this movie in the English dub on your first viewing if you can help it. The voice-over actors, other than Jackie, really stink and completely ruin the mood of the film (old school kung fu and comedy dubbing can be great fun, but the majority of new school dubbers are just awful, especially where dramatic films are concerned)! There is, however, a not-to-be-missed feature on this particular DVD showing Jackie Chan dub his own lines into English. It is a riot! It's especially fun to see him dub the fight sounds! Ughh, aghh, ughh....aghh. He really gets into it (which actually does have an effect on his fight scenes...and for the better!).

Movie Review: YES......Da Jackie Chan We ALL Know & Love!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dis is probably one of da best movies dat jackie has done in a very long time. It's unbeleivable dat he is a lil bit over 50 years old and can still deliever an unbeleivable performance. New Police Story is about a veteran cop name chan wing who is at da break of his cop career after he leads a 9-team ops into a game of death.......struckin with guilt chan jus drinks and sleeps to drown his sorrows about letting his team down. The thing dat really seperates this film wit Jackie's other recent films is det it is made in his home town "Hong Kong" and da reason why it is godd is because da US forbids Jackie to do his own stunts unless its not dat dangerous. Another thing is Jackies acting in dis film.....he has done over 50 films and I have never once seen Jackie do so well as far as acting goes.....u can really see all of his emotions in dis film. I recomend dis film to anybody who enjoys action or enojoys Jackie Chan films. GET DIS OR RENT IT U WON't GET DISSAPOINTED!!!!!Movie Review: If you like Nonstop HK cop Action , BUY THIS!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Great Movie Great DVD Release
Summary: 5 Stars
Finaly An American Release Does Justice To A Great Film. First Off The Movie Is Great And Jackie Has Barely Slowed Down If He Has At All! THe Fight Scenes Are Great And It's Interesting To See Him In A More Serious Movie. That Aside The Dvd Release Is Great! Great Picture Great Sound And Also It Has Either Overdubbed English OR CANTONEESE YES! Belive It Or Not You Get Both On Here And It Has 2.1 Or 5.0 Dolby Digital So It Sounds Great Too. So Overall It's One Of Jackie's Better Movies The Best He Has made In A Long Time And It Gets An Extra Star For The Great DVD Options.
