POLICE STORY
Regarded by fans and critics alike as the apex of Jackie Chan's celebrated career, Police Story breaks new ground with its breathtaking fights and incredible stunt sequences. Featuring a top-notch cast, which includes multi-award-winning actresses Brigitte Lin & Maggie Cheung, director Chan combines a compelling storyline of an honest cop on the run from a false murder charge with dynamic visuals and full-blooded fight action which is electrified with emotional underscoring.
In the case of this particular project the price of excellence was high, with many of Jackie's elite stunt team being seriously injured during the course of principal photography. The opening bus sequence alone sent 4 stunt players to hospital for a long term vacation, and Jackie has been unable to get insurance coverage for any of his Hong Kong projects ever since.
One of the most influential films ever to come out of Hong Kong, Police Story is now fully restored and digitally re-mastered for its premiere UK DVD release. A fitting tribute to one of the best loved action-adventure stars of all time!

NEW POLICE STORY
New Police Story shows fans both new and old that Jackie Chan is still the man for eye-popping action. The Police Story movies are regarded by fans and critics alike as the apex of Jackie Chan's celebrated career so it's no wonder that he's back as Detective Chan. This time the challenges for Chan are bigger than ever as he battles personal demons and goes head to head with a gang of vicious cop killers in a frenzy of "stylish, take-no-prisoners kung fu carnage". (Nuts)
As the leader and sole survivor of a disastrous mission, where his entire team is killed by a bank-robbing gang of fashion-trash punks, Inspector Wing (Jackie Chan) is racked with guilt and falls into a drunken stupor. With a young supporting cast of HK idols (Charlie Yeung and Charlene), Jackie Chan gets to flex his acting muscles asmuch as his high-kicks in a darker and broodier thriller which boasts plenty of ridiculously entertaining (and dangerous) physical and motor stunts!
