Police Story 2 4K 1988 CHINESE

A Hong Kong action comedy (in fact, all but the earliest Jackie Chan films carry a certain comedic element) from 1988, the second part of the 'Police Story' series, in addition to which there have been four other films made.

I love Jackie Chan movies and watch them with gusto. Without a little, this perpetually bouncing, always kind, never killing anyone and amazingly manipulating the surrounding objects during a fight, Jackie Chan's movie character can't help but cause the audience to be attracted to him.

In the story, a certain Ku (in my translation Chu) is released from prison, where Jackie has put him, and begins to take revenge on the latter in the person of his slimy and laughing perpetual henchman. At the same time, due to the past destructive events of the first part, Chan is relegated to a street traffic controller. And a fellow annoying in glasses is not going to settle down and molests Jackie's girlfriend in a saturated manner, which is the beginning of the end in the rift of interpersonal relations between Chan and May (the performer of the role of Maggie Chung, incidentally, in 1983, won the title of 'Miss Hong Kong'). Jackie Chan's impulsive hero (just look at his intentions on his face after someone has pissed him off again) decides to quit his job as a policeman, go on vacation to Bali...but then the pyrotechnic bombers show up, demanding $10 million from a wealthy certain office, threatening to blow up their businesses. The police brass, eager to solve this big case, turn to Jackie, a leading and experienced expert in dealing with criminals of all sorts.

Actually, those who have seen Jackie Chan movies will understand what remarkable and intense this one is. One just has to watch and marvel as Chan himself pulls off all these wonders (by the way, after the stunt with jumping into the glass from the moving bus, the actor got serious cuts on his face and head, and during the escape from the exploding warehouse - face burns). And the warehouse was so colorful, old and abandoned...and the whole thing was blown up in the finale.

And all that fighting and running around is fertilized with a dose of great humor (the plot as such is only a background necessity). There's the diarrhea-stricken Chinaman; May, back from Bali, yelling at Jackie in the men's showers and toilets; and the deaf-mute monkey 'Aba', the chief pyrotechnician whose arsenal includes radio-controlled exploding cars and small balloons of the same qualities; And the slippery henchman of the dying Ku, whose glasses are beaten up both by Chan himself and by the seemingly insane hero; and there's also 'Crazy Horse' - a dynamite smuggler to all kinds of gangsters. It's a great movie.
