Editor's Notes and Comments:
Description:
(Martial Arts/Foreign) The explosive sequel to Jackie Chan’s groundbreaking original, Police Story 2 is famous internationally for some of the most daring and inventive stunt sequences ever committed to film. Despite his sucess at apprehending criminals, Kevin Chan's unorthadox approach to his work as a police officer sees him demoted to the traffic branch. Despite this, the man he put behind bars is now out of prison, and has vowed to make his life a misery.

Before making a name for himself in Hollywood with the Rush Hour franchise, Jackie Chan was already an international superstar, thanks to Hong Kong films such as Police Story and its sequels. While not quite up to par with that film, Police Story 2 (released in 1988) still manages to pack quite the punch, picking up where Police Story left off. Chan's Ka Kui has been demoted from detective to traffic cop, something that depresses him but is a source of relief for his gorgeous girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung, Hero), who is hoping that they can live in peace. But hell hath no fury like a Triad member scorned, and Ka Kui finds himself a hunted man when the gangsters he locked away seek revenge. While the plot is familiar, the impeccably choreographed action sequences are a work of art. Exhibiting both strength and grace, Chan who also directed and co-wrote the screenplay as well as performed all his own stunts) is both heroic and comical as he fends off hordes of villains. He's in fine form, whether he's beating up his opponent or about to get bullied by a waif of a handicapped man. Chan is famous for including a blooper reel at the end of his movies, and while the bloopers for his later films appear almost forced--as if he had to scrounge around to come up with good material--his earlier pictures conclude with gasp-inducing mistakes that make the viewer wonder how one man's body can endure this kind of physical punishment. The DVD offers both the Cantonese version with English (and Spanish) subtitles, as well as a cheesy English dubbed treatment. Opt for the subtitles: The action will more than speak for itself. --Jae-Ha Kim

I was pretty disappointed with this sequel. I know usually the second movie is not as good as the first, but I still couldn't help but look forward to this one, only to be let down. It seems Jackie Chan focused a lot more on story and humor, and there isn't that much action. Mind you, the action that is there is good, but you can't help but think it could have been so much more. To me, this movie is throwaway and forgettable. It just made me want to go watch the very first again...

The very first Police Story is arguably one of Jackie Chan's finest pieces of work, containing everything a good Jackie Chan film should have and then some. Though an improved sequal is just about impossible with a film of such calibur, Police Story 2 ends up being about as good as a sequal can get. Though the story is not as tight this time around, and I honestly felt a little bored about 2/3 through the film, there was still enough humor, action, and fun characters that made this all worthwhile.
Most of the same characers from the very first film return, and then there is a new group of guys who basically bomb public buildings for ransome. Jackie Chan begins the film fighting off his old enemies from the very first film, and eventually deals with the new guys, who make you wonder if they have some connection to the other goons. The plot was pretty engaging at first, but eventually slowed down until an explosive finale that is worth the wait.
Poilce Story 2 contains some of the most memorable action fight scenes from a Chan movie in my opinion. There are 3 that really stuck out - the restaurant near the beginning, the playground fight at night, and the 8 minute spectacular final fight in the warehouse. What I like a lot about the action, is not only that there is some serious choreography going on, but Jackie takes hits and gets hurt - he is not invincible. If you stick around for the end credits & blooper reel, you can clearly see that a lot of injuries took place on the sets of this film.
Dragon Dynasty was very smart to bring Police Story 1 & 2 to dvd. For years it was only availbale on vhs, and not the easiest film to get your hands on. The original dubbed voices, if you are used to them, are gone in the Dragon Dynasty versions. Not that it really matters too much, but I actually enjoyed the original dubbed voices that gave the movie a less serious feel than the newer voices. In the end, this movie just rocks. Its definetly in the better half of the Chan movies out there and is an excellent sequal to a great film.

Police Story 2 follows the very first film in many aspects, characters, tone, romance, and comedy, but what it leaves out is most of the fantastic fights and great stunts (although in typical fashion the finale is something to behold!). Most of the same cast is back and it's always fun watching Jackie Chan and Maggie Cheung hamming it up as a dysfunctional yet loving couple. The villians are as despicable as you would expect a group of terrorist bombers to be and you'll definately be looking forward to them getting there heads kicked in by the end. All that being said, sequels are suppossed to up the ante and be bigger and better... that doesn't happen here, but how could it? The very first film is a masterpiece while this is merely good (I feel the same about The Drunken Master and it's sequel). Fans of the usual American action films should be blown away... but for those already familiar with Hong Kong film-making this is an enjoyable movie, just don't go in expecting anything too special.

Jackie Chan is one of the best martial artist and stuntmaster. In this movie, i think he put everything he has to show how good he is and how well the stunts and the fight scenes are. Talking about fight scenes, they blow me away. They are execute with precision and power. I really like this movie and it's one of the best martial arts movie.
