A Hong Kong police officer, Ka Kui is sent undercover to mainland China to break up a drug smuggling ring. After breaking the brother of the drug lord out of prison, he and another agent (a beautiful communist policewoman) are taken to Hong Kong to work for the syndicate. The wife of the crime boss has been arrested in Malaysia for drug trafficking and is soon to be executed. However, she is the only person who knows the account number of a secret Swiss bank account containing millions in drug money. While the two officers are in Malaysia preparing for the jail break, Ka Kui accidentally runs into his girlfriend May, who has traveled there from Hong Kong.
It's easy to forget that Jackie Chan has had a career doing tons of crazy films back in Hong Kong, before he went all in with the crappy American comedies. I've written about the first Police Story film before, and the third entry in the series is just as insane. The stunts are unbelievable, with Jackie hanging from helicopters, fights on moving trains and just constantly gets himself in extreme situations. It's quite funny too, and there's a great chemistry between Jackie and his co-actress Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). An exciting shut-your-brain-off-and-enjoy-the ride kind of film, but if action is what you're looking for you can't go wrong at all with this one.
Genre: Action/Comedy/Crime
