When I was in elementary school, I watched this film on the video recorder at home. Although I didn't understand it well, I deeply remembered the man in green clothes with a grim expression, who slipped from the iron rod and brought down a piece of colorful lights. The plot of the.

After a lapse of 35 years, watching this film again, it is still such a classic, not only does it not lag behind the times in the slightest, but is even ahead of the times, ahead of this era that no longer belongs to her.

Recently, I watched Jackie Chan's movies together. If we want to talk about Jackie Chan's best movie, this "Police Story" deserves it.

In Jackie Chan's film, there is no need to repeat the action part. There are too many key points in this film, far more than the wonderful action scenes. The plot of this film is compact and reasonable, and the characters from the protagonist to the supporting roles are very full, and even the lines of a small supporting role are just right, not facial expressions.

Black and white, men and women, leaders and subordinates, good cops and bad cops, sincerity and lies... Such rich content has been packed into one movie, and it has been combined so naturally, without any sermons or rigidity. a feeling of. The comedy part is also just right, both hilarious and in no way detracting from the serious plot that follows.

The film even includes many social reality content that is rare in commercial films: the low cost of 38 yuan a day to protect witnesses, the police department's appearance of launching model police officers, and laughing at bureaucracy. All the credit belongs to the superiors...

The second generation, third generation, and fourth generation in the later period, to be honest, failed to reach the level of this film.

The problem with this film is probably that the part of the story before entering the shopping mall in the later stage is progressing too fast, and the connection is a bit insufficient. It may be due to the limitation of the length of time, and some transitional plots have been cut out.

For such a film, the current score of 7.9 is obviously low, at least it should be above 8.5.

"I like how you protect witnesses in this way."

It is said that Lin Qingxia personally fell on the coffee table and shelf in this film. Who else can the current female star do.
