Description

Triple bill of Hong Kong action comedies starring Jackie Chan, who also writes and co-directs the first two in the series. In 'Police Story' (1985) police officer Chan Ka-Kui (Chan) is assigned to protect informant Selina (Brigitte Lin), who is due to testify against crime lord Chu Tao (Chor Yuen). When she refuses this assistance Chan stages a mock assassination attempt in order to ensure her compliance.

However, after discovering Chan's ruse, Selina does not attend the trial and Chu Tao is released on bail. With Chu Tao back on the streets Selina is in more danger than ever before. Can Chan protect her and finally bring Chu Tao to justice? In 'Police Story 2' (1988) Chan has been demoted to traffic duties following his heavy-handed manner.

However, when Chu Tao is released from prison early and is intent on causing chaos around Hong Kong, Chan is brought back into the force to try and stop his old nemesis. Finally, in 'Police Story 3 - Supercop' (1992) Chan and Inspector Yang Chien-Hua (Michelle Yeoh) are tasked with travelling to mainland China to infiltrate the organisation of a dangerous drug lord. However, when Chan crosses paths unexpectedly with his girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung) during the mission, she almost blows his cover and is later kidnapped by the gang.
