Police Story 2
Well if you saw my review of Police Story, it was no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed it. What can I say about the sequel, Police Story 2? Well hot damn! It’s just Jackie being Jackie!
DVD Review: Police Story 2
As I was watching this movie, I couldn’t believe that this hadn’t been a bigger hit in this country. I mean with the stunts that he does, Jackie Chan was “Jackass” way before Johnny Knoxville. Throw in the fact that Police Story 2 has a much more believable story than the original and it’s a winner winner, chicken dinner.
The sequel does take a little more serious line than the first story, substituting some of the humor for more drama but all in all it works. Don’t get me wrong, there are still amazing fights and an epic battle in a playground that I swear feels like 30 minutes long, but for whatever was lost in making the fight scenes a little more realistic when compared to the parent film, the tale itself gained with the love story between Kevin (Chan) and May (Maggie Cheung).
Police Story 2 is also one of those movies that you WILL watch the outtakes and stunt work. You will not believe your eyes when you see some of the injuries incurred during the filming of this movie. Jackie and his stunt team truly put their bodies on the line and it’s a miracle no one died while trying to entertain us.
Another ass kicking joyride from Jackie Chan. Do yourself a favor and buy this DVD which comes out February 13th.
Stay tuned for updates.
