Forty years after Jackie Chan first leaped onto screens in Police Story, the action-packed trilogy is back—and sharper than ever! 🎞️✨ Restored in stunning 4K by Italy’s L'Immagine Ritrovata, the films lit up this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, drawing fans young and old to relive Chan’s gravity-defying stunts and laugh-out-loud humor.
Dubbed a cornerstone of Hong Kong cinema, the trilogy—Police Story (1985), Police Story 2 (1988), and Police Story 3: Super Cop (1992)—revolutionized action filmmaking. Think Marvel-level thrills, but with Chan’s signature DIY flair (yes, those stunts were real!). 🤯
Screened as part of the festival’s celebration of 120 years of Chinese cinema, the 4K versions proved one thing: timeless action doesn’t need a reboot. Crowds cheered as Chan’s iconic mall fight scenes and motorcycle jumps exploded onto the screen—now so crisp, you’ll feel every punch. 💥
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newbie craving retro action gold, this restoration is a must-watch. As one fan put it: 'Jackie’s still the king—no CGI required.' 👑
