adonis98-743-186503 This installment of Chan's Police Story series has our hero trying to locate a missing nuclear warhead. I can't understand why Police Story 4: First Strike is considered a bad film when it's easily the best installment in the Franchise it's full of great action sequences (The scene with the ladder, the sharks and in the Hotal are some of my action scenes in a Jackie Chan movie and even to this day their still amazing). The acting from the entire cast is great especially Chan who once again his talent on doing his own stunts shines in the screen and he is also once again hilarious, the soundtrack is also terrific and something that you can listen to time and time again. Overall i can't say anything more about First Strike is fun, action packed and above all it looks great and it sounds great and it's without a doubt the most underrated sequel in the Entire Series. (A+)

ma-cortes FIRST STRIKE packs a violent confrontation between Jackie and double agents from CIA and KGB . This exciting story about the cop named Chang Wing of the Hong Kong precinct is well played by Jackie Chan. Chang participates in a sting operation against an international spy-ring that is smuggling nuclear weapons from Ukraine. But when one of them (Tsui) escapes , Jackie is ordered to capture him . This leads Jackie all over the globe beginning with Tsui's sister (Annie Wu) at Australia . The story follows him as he attempts to stay alive and chase the villain. When his police buddies are deceived by a wicked criminal band , Wing turns into an unfortunate spy when he is also double-crossed . A young woman helps him to track down and apprehend the gang commanded by a double agent. Then Chan looks for vengeance against the ominous villains at a cat and mouse game.This exciting movie is crammed of action-packed, overwhelming stunt-work and lots of violence but with humor. Jackie Chan is top notch as one army man fighting a group of heinous criminals and as always he makes his own stunts like is showed on the final fake-shots . Awesome ,incredible stunts and brief comic touches , as usual ; the picture is better constructed than its predecessor . The lighting-paced storyline slows down at times , but frantic action sequences make up for it . Spotlights movie include a stirring pursuit on the snow and underwater fights surrounded by sharks in James Bond style , among others . This is a phenomenal action movie distinguished by nicely cinematography of the spectacular sequences , and contains agreeable sense of humor such as previous entries . However while the former outings Jackie teamed up to prestigious actresses and fine action stars in their own right , like Maggie Cheung and Michelle Khan , at this film his parternaire is unknown . Thrilling and moving musical score fitting to action by J. Peter Robinson . The picture is lavishly produced by the great Asian producers Raymond Chow and Golden Harvest production and efficiently directed by Stanley Tong . The first version titled ¨Police story(1985)¨ directed by the same Jackie Chan was a perfect action film for enthusiastic of the genre ; the following was ¨Police story 2(1988)¨ also pretty violent and with abundant humor touches . It's followed by ¨Police story V : Crime story¨ and finally ¨New Police story¨ by Benny Chan . Rating : Accepatable and passable, the picture has its sensational moments here and there , mostly provided by its agile star, the super Jackie Chan .

daworldismine jackie chan's first strike is your typical jackie chan fare featuring all the brilliant fight scenes and breathetaking stunts one expects from the chanster. a big improvement over supercop while not as good as jackie chan's who am i, never the less this is perfect entertainment from start to finish as jackie chan is hired by the c.i.a and gets tangled in some dangereous stuff and people are not to be trusted, but hey jackie chan movies are rarely there for story lines, the storyline is just the excuse to have some great fight scenes and stunts and here first strike delivers. i am one of the biggest jackie chan fans in the uk i think anyway and have seen all his films, and even though first strike isn't one of his best it's a solid effort none the less.

Michael DeZubiria It has been so many years since I have seen a Jackie Chan film, but after finally watching First Strike for the first time since something like 1998 I am completely hooked again. Te fight scenes are astonishing and even though the sets are bad and some of the fight situations (underwater with sharks) are cartoonish it is still a non-stop thrill ride. Plenty of comic relief, as always, and one unbelievable stunt after another make this one of Jackie's best films ever, I think. I think that since Jackie Chan became an international star in the middle of the series, they were made available in America out of order, but this is the kind of series that you can start watching with any of the installments. Highly recommended!
