Just spent the first two days of my christmas leave time revisiting Jackie Chan's Police Story and Police Story 2.
I was pleasantly reminded of how superior these actions film are to contempary Hollywood-fare in terms of both comedy and action set-pieces. To put it bluntly, these near 20 year old films put all modern Hollywood big budget action flicks TO SHAME!
I have been watching the original uncut Hong Kong versions with cantonese dialogue (none of that dubbed into english and hacked for western release rubbish)
Knowing that I have the fifth installment, New Police Story awaiting as a Christmas present, I'm looking into getting Police Story 3: Supercop (With Michelle Yeoh) and Police Story 4: (Jackie Chan's) First Strike.
Obviously I dont want to go down the western-release route and end up with inferior versions of these films dubbed into English with 10-20 mins cut off. I want the raw uncut versions. But on the net, the Hong Kong versions of these particular installments to the Police Story series seem hard to find, so if anyone has any links/prices for the HK versions of these DVDs, leave a comment here!
