New Police Story
Going further on a minor martial arts movie theme that has started here, we go on with “New Police Story”. Now if you think that this movie is realted to the great “Police Story” of the 80’s and 90s you’re wrong.. But well lets be very open minded here and enjoy a new Jackie Chan movie.. This time not one coming from Hollywood but back from good olde Hong Kong. Sadly enough the version shown in belgian theatres was dubbed into english, wich takes away much of the story for me… If they could bring Kung Fu Hustle in the original soundtrack, why not this one ??? People really apreciate the original soundtrack over a badly dubbed english one.
Anyway the movie… Story is, maybe as could be expected, a wee bit thin about a cop who fails on a mission and goes hiding into alcohol but supported by a younger coleague fixes himself up and gets the bad guys.. Hmm original, no ? Nahhh.. Well but thats not what you’re going for in this movie.. You need the nice fights and the great stunts, and you do get some.. The bus scene is amazing so expect that to be seen in about every other Hollywood movie in the next 3/4 years.
I really cant review this movie in a propper manner.. It’s dubbed.. Even the outtakes at the end are dubbed.. Come on !!! This will have to wait for a 2nd viewing on DVD that will hopefully include the original language track…
