The bare-bones plot has Chan in pursuit of international terrorists, but the narrative quickly gives way to an unceasing barrage of insane stunt work (including a nitro-fueled ski chase and a grandiose fight scene set inside a functioning shark tank). As with most of the aging star's recent films, there is more of an emphasis placed on big, impersonal (albeit impressive) stunts rather than the close-up combat that made him famous; but the end result is still a must-see rush for longtime fans, and a great introduction for newcomers eager to see what all the well-deserved fuss is about. The scene where Jackie takes on multiple goons while armed only with a ladder is one of his most jaw-dropping set pieces ever--and that's saying quite a lot. Be sure to stick around for the closing credits of gags gone awry, which graphically prove that Chan is truly the hardest working man in show business. --Andrew Wright... (more)(less)
"#1 Pole slide – Jackie sliding down a pole to a hundred feet down in a mall through electrical lights and smashing through a glass ceiling before hitting the floor. This stunt had all of skin from his hands burned off and dislocated his pelvis, in which almost paralyzed him."

"Police Story 4: First Strike is actually a bit of a step up from Supercop. The action scenes are a bit better (including a great scene with a ladder) and some of the humor is back. Like all the sequels, too much screen time is devoted to the convoluted storyline but the big problem is that once again, the final action sequence is underwhelming. Underwater fight scenes are terrible. Just saying."
"03/18/13 - Brings back some of the humor of the first film but is still brought down by a convoluted story and an underwhelming final action sequence."

Director: Stanley Tong
Cast: Jackie Chan, Jackson Liu, Annie Wu, Bill Tung
Story: This installment of Chan's Police Story series has our hero trying to locate a missing nuclear warhead. "
"13.3
First Strike on Jackien perinteistä toimintakomediaa, ilman sen kummempaa juonta tai sanomaa ja sehän toimii. Elokuva pääsee käyntiin oikeestaan jo heti alusta asti ja loppuun asti mennään lujalla temmolla. Jackie esittelee akrobatiataitojaan ja taistelee pahiksia vastaan taas lukemattomalla määrällä irtiaimistoa ja vitsejä heitetään aina väliin. Toimintakohtaukset ovat jälleen aivan loistavan näköisiä ja stuntit upeita. Erittäin mukavaa aivot narikkaan viihdettä."
