This is a high-energy and awesome cop sequel starring Jackie Chan, who returns as Hong Kong Detective Kevin Chan. He is out to stop a band of blackmailing bombers as well as the man he put behind bars in the previous movie.Chan continues to display some of his best martial arts action in this film, with incredible stunt work, daredevil jumps and butt-kicking action. It's good old-fashion fighting skills with no wires and CGI.The plot is pretty intriguing, though the story is also chock full of slapstick humor, and Chan seems more serious and sensitive in his character role. The film is fast-paced fun with a lot of decent acting, courtesy, of course, Jackie Chan and Bill Tung. Maggie Cheung also pulls through with a sensible performance.A highly recommended action sequel! Grade A

The Hong Kong super-cop (Jackie Chan) must stop a group of blackmailing bombers at the same time that the villains of the first Police Story are out for revenge.As much as I enjoyed this movie -- the humor, the explosions, the fast kicks to the face -- it has to be said that it never quite lives up to the first film. This should not come as a surprise to anyone, as sequels very rarely are as good as the original (though some select few do tend to be better).We still had awesome kicks, a humor that was a bit more crude, and we had way more explosions in this one (not surprising, given the villains are bombers). But we do not get to see as much glass break, and I think the overall destruction is never quite as high. How do you top the destruction of an entire village from part one?

Unfortunately I haven't seen the first film so can't say if this is better or worse, either way this film is a lot of fun. The story might not be the best every but that is okay when the action is so good. As one would expect from a Jackie Chan film there are lots of brilliantly choreographed fight scenes and some spectacular stunts.The film opens with Chan Ka Kui (Jackie Chan) being demoted to a traffic cop because of the amount of damage he caused when arresting a major criminal. Unfortunately for him the criminal he arrested is released because he is terminally ill and his henchman is determined to make life difficult for Ka Kui and his girl friend May. This leads to him getting in a spectacular fight in a children's play ground which in turn leads to him being reprimanded by his superiors. He decides to quit the police and take May to Bali on holiday, of course things don't go according to plan as while he is buying the tickets there is a bomb scare in the mall, even though he has quit the police force he takes control of the situation and evacuates the mall before the bomb detonates. After this he is brought back onto the force in order to investigate the bombers who are demanding a ten million dollar ransom not to blow up another building. As he closes in on them they kidnap May in order to force him to collect the ransom for them, this leads to a explosive show down between Ka Kui and the bombers in a fireworks factory.While the film is dominated by the action there are also plenty of good comic moments such as when May follows Ka Kui into the changing room and harangues him in front of his naked colleagues. The acting was good, Jackie Chan has great comic timing and makes the action look easy, although the out takes shown during the end credits show that it was anything but easy. While there is a lot of action it is of a fairly slap-stick nature so it should be suitable for older children to watch, the main reason not to show it to younger children is that they might be tempted to try and copy some of the stunts such as the play ground fight.These comments are based on watching the film in Cantonese with English subtitles.

Police story 2 is not as good, funny or action-packed as the original but is still a good movie to watch.There are less fight scenes in this then it was in the first one, but have some fight scenes that are really good. The playground fight, is one of Jackies best ever.The story is about some drug dealers who are trying to kill Ka-Kui (Jackie Chan) because he put them in jail in the first movie. The stunts in the movie is very good. Specially the truck to bus stunt. Many of the actors in the first movie is back.I recommend this movie for everyone.
