When compared with Police Stories 1 through 4, you wonder where all the action went. Jackie Chan has made numerous statements regarding editing, specifically, how editing can impair the flow of a fight. But it can also impair the flow of a story. The amount of cuts between characters and props in a single conversation beggars belief. How am I supposed to process character emotions or read text on a sign when your jumping back and forth between the same 5 shots in the span of 10 seconds? Trust me: it's a sin committed too many times to count in this film.

Jackie's over 60 in this film, so it's no surprise he wants to cut back on the action a bit. The problem is, when he has a kick*ss fight using a ladder to fend of a dozen men with sticks in Police Story 4: First Strike, you wonder how in the world that movie and this are in any way related (aside, of course, for the fact that he's a cop). So, what now? Is every future Jackie Chan cop movie going to be shoe-horned into this franchise? For goodness' sake: the main character doesn't even have the same name!
