Viewing Notes

From the first shot I immediately remembered the entire movie. Continuing on my watch/rewatch of all of Chan’s POLICE STORY films, this is easily the worst. It’s pretty overwrought and melodramatic, driven by obvious father issues for each of the three main characters. As usual there are some fun stunts but the goofiness of the X-gamer group of villains undermines the action.
