Police Story is perhaps Jackie Chan's finest work. I have watched the two first ones, but I was slightly disappointed by the sequel because as a movie, it was so inferior to the original. The original is one of the best action movies ever made, truly stunning. The sequel had some great stunts and fight scenes, but the wasn't as well put together. I wrote a couple of reviews of them back when I watched them last year:
Police Story:
"One of the best action movies ever made. Jackie Chan is a gem of an actor, and he is always impressive go watch, but in Police Story, he shows his A-game. The stunts are some of his best and it also includes his best one (you know the one). That aside, the fight choreography is also some of the best ever made. It is so on the point every single punch and kick that I cannot restrain myself from exclaiming my excitement. It looks so painful sometimes because the stunts are real, you see everything clearly and the actors have genuine reactions. The story is great and there are so many hilarious moments and jokes. Perhaps Jackie Chan's most polishef movie. Perfection." 5/5
Police Story 2
"Not nearly as good as the first film in most regards. This film focuses a little bit too much on the police part of the film and it overshadows the great humor the first film had. Do not get me wrong however, because this film too is filled with great moments. Still, those moments are just not as great as the first film. The fights are tight as hell, and I respect the hell out of Jackie Chan for making all of those awesome stunts and fight scenes. Police Story 2 is a very capable movie, and I enjoyed watching it very much. Jackie is a treat to the world and watching his movies never gets old. I just wish this was as good as the first film, which is legendary." 3.5/5
I haven't watched any the other ones, so I guess I'll watch them some day.
