The definitive version of Jackie's detective action

What is Jackie Chan's best work? `` Project A '' (1983) and ``Police Story'' (1985) are sure to come up as an answer to this question. I am definitely a ``Police Story'' fan. While ``Project A'' co-starred with stars Sammo Hung and Yun Pyo, ``Police Story'' is Jackie Chan's sole work. The entire story is made up of only the delicious parts of Jackie, and is an irresistible treat for those who are fans of Seiryu supremacy.

When I rewatch this film, I remember Akira Kurosawa's enthusiasm when he filmed `` Seven Samurai '' (1954). ``With this work, I want to feed the audience their fill and make them say, ``I'm satisfied with this!''''

Jackie must have tried to provide the audience with a full course of action comedy with ``Police Story''. There are no gaps in this work.

“Police Story” series Blu-ray release notice

The impetus for making this work was his previous work, `` Protector '' (1985). In the detective action film ``The Protector,'' which was filmed in Hollywood, Jackie was only a ``performer,'' and was not able to direct the action the way she wanted, and was very dissatisfied with the result. (I made a re-edited version and published it).

I want to create something that says, ``This is real detective action.'' This work was Jackie, who had built a career as a kung fu star since the 1970s, taking on the definitive detective action movie.

Therefore, in addition to Police Story'' has a more modern image by increasing the weight of stunt action than before, and can be said to be an epoch in the Jackie action movies that continue to this day. It has become a work of art. So, how was this work created?
