I didn't rate this as high as the first Police Story film. Some fans do prefer this over the prequel. The film starts off with a montage of clips from the first film and we learn Jackie Chan has been demoted to a traffic cop for causing chaos. Eventually he works his way up to being something like an undercover agent. Meanwhile the bad boss from the first film harasses him with violent pranks.

This film features more of Jackie Chan's slapstick humour than the first film, but it is much darker in tone than most of his films with a fairly nasty torture scene involving "Thunder Bangs" and a fairly downbeat ending. The stunts are absolutely amazing and also dangerous. Jackie Chan on top of a double decker bus jumping through a sugar glass window gets talked about a lot (the sugar glass used was thicker than on most films and caused the cast to get cut much like the first film), the use of fireworks and a stunning fight in a cafe were everything gets smashed-up.

I think this isn't in the same league as the first film, but it is still a must see HK action movie fans. It is much more plot heavy than the first film and less action packed. At around 2 hours long it outstays it welcome by about 20 minutes.

Both the UK and US Blu-Ray feature the same print and it's as good as it gets. Really nice 5.1 sound, unfortunately the English Dub is really badly out of sync and no commentary tracks.
