Chan vs Wang: 3.5/5
Chan vs Guards: 3.25/5
Restaurant Fight: 3.25/5
Train Fight: 3/5
The Police Story franchise gets gradually weaker over each installment. This is the third in the series, and it's still pretty damn great. Though there are no blow away fights like in the first 2, the fighting that it has is solid and the action scenes are larger in scale and scope.
This is the first film in the series Jackie didn't direct. It does have a different feel than the first 2. The other new thing about this one is that it has Michelle Yeoh. She's great and steals the movie at multiple points. She pulls off a stoic, badass yet not invulnerable female action star like we don't see much of anymore save for a Furiosa. She also plays off of Jackie's character very well.
Watching the outtakes in the credits is always great fun too. These stunts were no joke. Great action.
I dig this movie. Recommended.
