A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A slicker, glossier and altogether bigger sequel to the first two in the POLICE STORY series, this is another triumph for action man Jackie Chan, this time teamed with the inimitable Michelle Yeoh to deliver some seriously effective thrills and spills. The movie flies along effortlessly and is packed with tension, comedy, and lots of fun antics along the way as Chan and Yeoh infiltrate a gang of drug pushers and desperately attempt to stop getting their covers blown. When staying at a hotel resort, Chan's girlfriend May turns up and all kind of desperate hijinks ensue which are a delight to watch. The action sequences rely more heavily on guns and vehicles here which makes for a pleasing change, although there is a sufficient amount of martial arts combat to appeal to Chan's loyal devotees.This time around, links to the first two films are severed as new locations are introduced and old characters dropped into the background. No superintendent Raymond this time, although Uncle Bill puts in a small but funny turn and Maggie Cheung is around for some comedy antics and looking as lovely as ever. Most of the emphasis comes on Chan and Yeoh, who sparkle with great chemistry, and some nice nasty bad guys in Kenneth Tsang and Yuen Wah. Even Shaw Brothers legend Lo Lieh has a small but welcome role. The action is constant and never-ending, ranging from a major drug deal turned shoot-out and a fight with the police in the restaurant.However, where this film really scores is in the intense final twenty minutes of the climax, which is basically one huge chase taking in cars, vans, a helicopter, and finally a train. I've always been a fan of train-top battles and this offers one of the best with plenty of fights and dangerous situations. Chan's major stunt involving hanging on to a rope ladder from a flying helicopter high in the sky, whilst Yeoh gobsmacks the viewer with a motorbike jump on to a moving train which easily beats Arnie's similar stunt in TERMINATOR 2 by virtue of the fact that it isn't faked - this is real, no wires. Great fights, acting, humour, and production values make this film a feather in the cap of all involved.

When he hears of a special mission that requires a "supercop" from Hong Kong, "Inspector Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) is more than happy to volunteer. However, due to the fact that the mission is in mainland China this requires Chan Ka Kui to inform his girlfriend "May" (Maggie Cheung) that he will be gone for a month. Obviously, since this is a secret mission he can't tell her hardly anything about it. For that matter, he doesn't know too much to tell. What is even worse is the fact that he is totally unaware that he will be teaming up and working in close proximity with a female, Red Chinese equivalent named "Inspector Jessica Yang" (Michelle Yeoh). Neither does he know the trip will eventually lead him and Jessica Yang to Malaysia—where his extremely jealous girlfriend just happens to be guiding a tour group. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that I consider this film to be the best of the "Police Story" pictures so far. Naturally, it has an abundance of action but it's the humor which I thought was especially good. In any case, I enjoyed this movie and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

Third time is the charm for this franchise. The previous two movies is good, but this one is better. Not only does it have a better storyline, it has better action as well. This time Jackie Chan as a cop is going undercover in order to infiltrate a Chinese criminal organization. And it has some good action and slapstick humor along the way. Which is expected from Jackie Chan movies. It's just done really well in this one. Maggie Cheung is back again as May(Jackie's girlfriend in the movie). And again she goes through getting put into another conflicting situation. She must really love the hero of this franchise Jackie. It just seems like she is constantly being used as a plot device to put the hero through one troublesome situation after another in this franchise. But at least she is incorporated into the plot somewhat instead of a girlfriend character that pops up once in a while for irrelevant reasons in movies. The relationship between the two reminded me of Mario and Princess Peach. To spice things up a bit, Michelle Yeoh is in this as well and plays the partner in the undercover work with Jackie Chan. And she actually adds a lot to the film and her fighting and stunt works are just fantastic. This movie alone shows how great of a stunt-woman she really is and plus she is a actress. And highly entertaining to watch, probably a bit more than Jackie in this case. Maybe it's because I enjoy the female lead kicking ass in movies. Also when it comes to the undercover work, there is actually quite a bit of creativity and good humor behind it as well. In a lot of cases the third installment just isn't as good as the previous ones. But in this case the third installment is better...Well until the 4th installment. If your one of the audiences that liked the previous Police Story films, there is a high chance you will enjoy this one. This is one of the best buddy cop movie I seen. Although it lacks in bonding development, it backs it up with the chemistry between the two and the action sequences.7.9/10

This is a great example of Jackie Chan's mind at work. He knows how to make the best action/comedies and his loyal fans appreciate his efforts. As well as having great costars who can act the part, it must be noted that Maggie Cheung did ALL of her own stunts. The out takes are worth the price of admission, alone. When they show Maggie falling on Jackie wearing the bomb vest, you can tell how much fun they had working together. And the number of takes it took to get it right is evident. His girlfriend in the movie could not have been more cute and helpless. Women 'lobbers' might not care for this as much as the rest of us. When he started coming to the US to meet with directors and producers, he had a lot of time to kill,so he became familiar with the work of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd.The comedic influence of these two silent film giants is very obvious.
