In this third Police Story film, Jackie Chan plays the buddy-cop movie card by introducing a co-star. Filling this part is Malasian action star Michelle Yeoh (credited as Michelle Khan).

In this installment, Chan and Yeoh’s characters, both being police, they go after a big time drug dealer by going undercover. They help a prisoner escape to get into the gang, and get close to the big boss. Of course it doesn’t go as planned and their clover is blown, but in the end the good guys win.

Michelle Yeoh might not have Chan experience, but can give a good run for his money. The fight scenes are especially well done, and from what we see during the end credits, there were quite a few serious injuries.

There are two memorable stunts in the film. One by Chan and one by Yeoh.

Pursuing the bad guys, Jackie jumps off a building to catch a rope ladder hanging from a fleeing helicopter. With no safety nets or lines or whatever safeties sane stunt people use. It even made the front page on newspapers in Hong Kong the day it was filmed. Great publicity stunt.

As for Michelle Yeoh, pursuing the bad guys (also), she picks up a dirt bike and jumps unto a moving train. Literally. Did I mention she had never ridden a motorcycle before shooting that movie?

These people have a weird and insane way of making a living. Not that I am complaining, mind you. I love it, when the succeed and when they break something.

A very good Jackie Chan film. A must-see. Also if you are a Michelle Yeoh’s, she is very good.
