| MUBISean GilmanJust as good as the fights though are Police Story's comic set pieces, especially one totally unrelated to any kind of plot development, which finds Chan alone in the precinct office as everyone else goes to lunch. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaPrimo Jackie--excitement and laughs aplenty. |
| About.comFred TopelSolid Jackie Chan. More stunts than martial arts, but still cool. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyIn the course of the story, about drug traffickers, Mr. Chan gets three separate birthday cakes thrown into his face, and participates in several elaborately staged gun fights and car chases. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsThe likeable and graceful Chan directs, sings and performs jaw-dropping stunts. Few of his American or Austrian rivals attempt a fraction of that. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeFeaturing cinema's best bus-related stunt sequence, a spectacular finale in a shopping mall and, um, multiple instances of its star getting hit in the face with cake. |
| PolygonKaren Han[Chan's] impeccable sense for how to stage a sequence extends to simple conversations, and the films are built around what's possible in terms of action rather than filling in action to support the plot. |
| Apollo GuideElspeth HaughtonNot one of Hong Kong action giant Jackie Chan's greatest movies, but it's entertaining and provides loads of martial arts fights and dangerous stunts. |
| User ReviewJonathan DHands down Chan's greatest achievement. A dazzling display of "no-tricks" real stuntwork, creative and gritty fights, and solid comedy. Plus the storyline is actually good. Rated PG-13 |
| User ReviewJames LThis movie puts Rush Hour to shame. Some of the craziest shit he does comes from this movie alone. It is one of his best films and it is a classic. Fuck Rush Hour. |
