Denise Crute Malpractice

Police Story


Mr. Chu is the most powerful drug dealer in Hong Kong. His men put out of action during a police operation and eventually halted by the Inspector Chan Ka Kui, the only possibility to ensure a long stay in the country's prisons is to release his secretary, Selina, and testify against it him. Needless to say, you Chan in that he must take the protection of the precious, and even pretty heads.
Directed by Jackie Chan Police Story rolls out high frame rate of participation in the emotional sequences that define carve daring may not make absolutely the idea (beautiful, no half measures, the disintegration of the slum shots of cars at the beginning of film) and give glory to the history of action cinema with the figure of a policeman, or rather, actor-director, the which recklessly flirting with the superhuman. Yes, actor-director and cop more: it is known that Jackie Chan is at stake personally in regard to conduct more dangerous - enough to keep a Guinness World Record for "More stunts made by a living actor" (source Wikipedia) - and here, in the role dell'intrepido detective Chan, has performed in at least two extreme situations: the pursuit of a bus walk with arrembaggio favorito dal manico di un ombrello e la discesa di cinque (se la dinamicità dell’azione non inganna lo sguardo) piani di un centro commerciale abbracciato a un palo fra cascate di scintille di un impianto di illuminazione trattato come peggio non si potrebbe (con buona pace, in quest’ultimo frangente, del pur ragguardevole Schwarzenegger di Commando ).
Digressioni umoristiche da torte in faccia (tre, per la precisione, di cui due da parte della fidanzata May, subite dal risoluto funzionario in un arco di pochi minuti) non indeboliscono più di tanto l’avventuroso intreccio, riuscendo invece a maggiormente valorizzare una furia vendicatrice finale che non è neanche il caso tentare di descrivere.
