Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Police Story 2 (1989) is one of those rare sequels that's more fun than its predecessor. Jackie Chan plays his usual rule-breaking cop, loyal to superiors that carp at the destruction he leaves in his wake but are prepared to take credit for every success he has. Here he finds himself up against vengeful gangsters whose plans he frustrated in the first of the series; but he also has to combat a ruthless team of extortionists with a taste for explosions both large and small--blowing up large buildings, turning people into human bombs and torturing people with firecrackers are all part of their repertoire. He has girlfriend trouble, too, since his fiancée is worried that he always puts the job first.

Like its predecessor and the quasi-sequel First Strike (1996), Police Story 2 is transitional between Chan's early more fight-orientated Hong Kong movies and his later, blander Hollywood films. The fights and stunts here are most of the point of what is essentially a very good generic Jackie Chan vehicle; he takes on progressively larger groups of opponents, coping, for example, with a dozen gangsters armed with swords in a terraced garden by leaping from level to level and paying each opponent individual attention. The final fight in a fireworks factory is a Chan classic, depending as it does as much on the comedy of frustrating repetition as on daring stunts. --Roz Kaveney

- POLICE STORY 2. JACKIE CHAN.
If you like fast paced films with lots of action, then you should really enjoy this movie.Maggie Cheung once again plays the part of Jackie Chans girlfriend who is kidnapped by a gang.The only way Jackie can save her is by collecting a large ransom which the gang are demanding from a large corporation.
With an explosive device strapped to him he has no choice but to do what they want. However, at the same time there are many comical scenes in this great movie. Well worth buying.

A disappointing sequel, POLICE STORY PART II finds police officer Jackie Chan once again at loggerheads with his superiors when he investigates an extortion racket following a series of bomb attacks on various high-profile locations owned by a group of wealthy property developers. While the action sequences are as spectacular as ever - most notably an eye-popping fight in a children's park, and the climactic showdown in an abandoned factory - the script (credited to Wai Wing-pin Kek ...

- Excellent directorial effort by Chan!
This movie has everything you could wish for in a JC vehicle. It has several great fights, stunts and lots of slapstick comedy, although it's a bit darker and more serious than "Police Story". The extras on this disc are very very exciting, and HKL prove once more that they are the best. The picture is a bit soft and shimmers sometimes, but that's probably due to the poor storage techinque of the original film element. Buy this instead of Eastern Heroes CRAP so-called remastered DVDs.

- Good action, but ultimately inferior overlong sequel
Jackie Chan returns to the role of Chan Ka-Kui, who has been demoted following his destructive and costly antics at the end of the first film. However, things hot up when Chu Tao (Chua Yuen) is released from prison following a doctor's verdict that he has only a few months to live, and he and his gang try to make Ka-Kui's life hell. As well as them, he gets caught up in various terrorist plots.
Meanwhile Ka-Kui is having problems of his own, in particular with girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung)...

Well, that's pretty much the story without using obvious spoilers. Fans of the original will undoubtedly ask: 'Is it any good?'

Well, it's not bad. I mean, it was never going to have quite the impact that the original ... Read More:

- A SECOND HELPING OF KUNG FU KICKS AND HUMEROUS ONE LINERS
Jackie Chan returns to his role of Ka- Kui in this action packed sequel to the box office smash Police Story. Jackie's acting skills and humerous scenes with his co star Maggie Cheung will have you laughing at his unfortunate predicament. But the fight scenes and death defying stunts will have you glued to the screen saying "BL**** HELL". The scene in the park( which is my favourite) will have you watching this film again and again. It'll even have you showing this video off to your friends just to impress. If your a Jackie Chan fan this video is a must for your collection, and even if you have only just started watching him the police story films are a must to see. Enjoy
