The film's major setpieces – a squatter's village leveled by a car chase down a hillside, a double decker bus chase, and the breathless shopping mall climax – are balanced with slapstick sequences and a few smaller-scale but equally energetic fight scenes. Chu is released on bail but his assets are frozen, his passport confiscated, and his rival has moved in on his suppliers, so Chu plans to rid himself of Salina who is in hiding at his country villa and also use frame Ka Kui in order to cut ties with a treacherous police officer who has helped him stay one step ahead of the investigation.Ĭhan's fifth film as a director – coming on the heels of his well-regarded comic action period piece Project A, Police Story was also a hit domestically, spinning off a series of four films as well as the two reboots (2004's New Police Story and 2013's Police Story: Lockdown). Chu's lawyer ( Chi-Wing Lau) is able to poke holes in the police's circumstantial case, and Ka Kui ends up humiliating himself further on the stand when the tape recording he made of Salina's statement proves to be anything but. After Salina causes tension between Ka Kui and his long-suffering fiancée May ( The Heroic Trio's Maggie Cheung), she slips away before she is due to appear in court. They appoint 'super cop' Ka Kui to guard Salina but she proves uncooperative until he frightens her into compliance with the help of hapless colleague Kim ( Project A's Mars) however, it soon becomes apparent that Chu has indeed sent hitmen to kill both of them. Without any concrete evidence, his supervisors Superintendent Raymond Li ( Project A: Part 2's Kwok-Hung Lam) and Inspector Bill Wong ( The Legend of Drunken Master's Bill Tung) decide Chu into action by releasing Salina and subpoenaing her to testify against him. Police Story: When a sting operation to catch corrupt businessman Chu Tao ( Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan's Yuen Chor) and his associates – nephew Danny Koo ( Ip Man 2's Hark-On Fung), brains John Ko ( High Risk's Charlie Cho), and secretary/mistress Salina ( Peking Opera Blues' Brigitte Lin) – in a drug deal goes awry, resulting in the leveling of an entire squatters' village, green officer Ka Kui Chan ( Crime Story's Jackie Chan) become a hero overnight by apprehending Chu and the money he tries to bribe him with.
