Synopsis
Includes the Jackie Chan films POLICE STORY 1 and POLICE STORY 2. In Jackie Chan's POLICE STORY 1, Kevin (Chan)--a heroic cop with the Hong Kong Police Department--is assigned to guard a key witness in the trial of a mobster he single-handedly captured. But the tables are turned when Kevin is duped by the witness. The drug boss is then released for lack of evidence, and Kevin is framed for murder. In POLICE STORY 2 Kevin Chan, demoted and harassed for his one-man war against a gang of criminals, decides to take a much needed vacation, but is back in business when Hong Kong becomes the target for a string of bomb scares.

Customer Reviews

Great box set for the money!, althought not chans best movies
Alot of people call PS 1+2 The high points of JC's career, I on the other hand think differently.

Now that is not to say they arent good films, I just feel that they dont pack the same punch as JC's other films like Project A and rumble in the bronc's.
There are breathtaking stunts in the PS films but they are spaced out by some lengthy dialogue and some to be honest quike poor acting from the cast, now I know that it doesnt really matter with a JC film because the action is superb, but the PS films try to take themselves too seriously
and this seems to sap the life out of some of the scenes.

I know that alot of people will probably dissagree with what I just said but I myself am a big fan of JC and I just found that the PS films although good,just arent as watchable as the rest of JC's available catalogue.

Onto the actual release,

Now dont be fooled by the slightly sub par box art, this set actually contains the 2 special edition HK legends versions of Police story 1+2, which means both are digitaly remeastered (sound and picture)and of a very high quality which at this price makes it a much better purchase than buying them seperately.
