TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
KineticSeoul After the smash hit "Police Story" a sequel was bound to happen. And again Jackie Chan, take the directors seat. Jackie Chan plays a more mature and professional cop this time around in this sequel. But still undisciplined and hotheaded, just the way I like the character. Or else it just wouldn't be as much fun or wouldn't lead to some confrontations in order to take down the bad guys. The fights are also fun and creative, like the playground fight scene which was later incorporated into "Jackie Chan Adventures". The stunts are even more crazier this time around and really does test Jackie's capabilities. But like what Jackie said in one of his interviews "I maybe crazy, but I am not stupid" so the guy knows his limits. This movie made just about every punch by Jackie so satisfying since the bad guys are more dis-likable this time around. The plot has two different directions that doesn't really come together well in the end. The bad guys that Jackie put away in the first film are more angry now and want some revenge on Jackie. And while this is going on, some sort of terrorist organization is blowing up buildings and demanding money from a big corporation. The plot isn't anything grand but it gets the job done. Sequels are usually bigger in scope and more resources and budget went into this one. The final scene where Jackie runs out of a building before it blows up was a one shot deal as well. I kinda felt bad for Jackie's girlfriend May, she is pretty and constantly gets put into one turmoil after another because her boyfriend is a cop. This movie is jam packed with creative fight sequences and a lot of stunt work with some violence but with slight humor to go with it as well, which is usual in Jackie Chan films. The first "Police Story" was a important and essential film in Jackie Chan's career but this one is a solid sequel. However a better script would have made a big difference.7.8/10
gavin6942 The Hong Kong super-cop (Jackie Chan) must stop a group of blackmailing bombers at the same time that the villains of the first Police Story are out for revenge.As much as I enjoyed this movie -- the humor, the explosions, the fast kicks to the face -- it has to be said that it never quite lives up to the first film. This should not come as a surprise to anyone, as sequels very rarely are as good as the original (though some select few do tend to be better).We still had awesome kicks, a humor that was a bit more crude, and we had way more explosions in this one (not surprising, given the villains are bombers). But we do not get to see as much glass break, and I think the overall destruction is never quite as high. How do you top the destruction of an entire village from part one?
Jackson Booth-Millard This sequel starring and directed by Jackie Chan again fails to have the same impact as its predecessor. Basically, with his unorthodox police methods, Jackie is demoted to be a traffic cop. Despite this, the villain from the last film who he put away is now out, and has vowed to make his life a misery. While he is harassing Jackie and his girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung), the police are thinking of bringing Jackie back to help fight a group of bombers who are asking for a $10 million ransom. Also starring Bill Tung as Inspector Bill Wong, Kwok-Hung Lam as Superintendent Raymond Li and Charlie Cho as John Ko. I think the biggest problem is that this film is too chatty, with hardly any comedy, hardly any decent martial arts fights, no relevant thrills, and not enough action or stunt work by Chan, it's no surprise that I dozed off towards the end. Pretty poor!
kurciasbezdalas To me this part is much better than the first one. There is much more action in this part and it's taking itself a little more serious so it's more an action film than a comedy. The playground fight was probably one of the best Jackie Chan's fights ever. There also was many impressive stunts, much more than in American Jackie's movies. The Deaf Criminal was probably one of the most colorful Jackie's opponents. Even the plot was better than in a first part. In this part Jackie Chan's character has to not only fight his new enemies, he also has to deal with an old ones. I liked the new villains of this movie, which were a very violent and dangerous people. There was many violent, intense and dramatical moments in this movie so it's one of my favorite Jackie's movies.
