Somehow, it is not surprising that I didn't like it since I thought that 'Police Story 3' was already terribly underwhelming. The first ... read more

Description: Action-god Jackie Chan does his best James Bond impression with this ecstatic sequel to the classic Supercop. 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 ...

"First viewing - Feb. 20th I decided to watch First Strike with the kiddo, which served as her introduction to Jackie Chan. I probably could've picked a better film to start her off with, but then I hadn't seen this one yet...which is odd since I caught a lot of Chan's films back when they first started hitting American theatres in the '90s.
