Police Story

Description

Police Story is a 1985 Hong Kong action film directed by and starring Jackie Chan. The film follows Chan as Kevin Chan Ka-Kui, a Hong Kong police officer tasked with protecting a witness in a major case against the drug lord Chu Tao. When the witness is kidnapped and Chan's girlfriend is threatened, Chan must go to extreme lengths to save them and bring the criminals to justice.

The film is known for its spectacular stunts and action sequences, which were choreographed by Chan himself. The most famous scene in the film is the "umbrella scene," in which Chan slides down a metal pole with a large umbrella and crashes through a glass canopy. The scene was achieved in one take and remains one of Chan's most iconic stunts.

Police Story was a commercial and critical success, earning Chan his first Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor and launching him as a major star in Asia. The film's success led to a franchise of sequels and spin-offs, as well as influencing the action genre in Hong Kong and around the world. Today, Police Story is considered a classic of Hong Kong cinema and one of Chan's most memorable films.

After a Nuclear Apocalypse, the Earth lies in the ruins. Its major territory turned into radioactive desert inhabited by dangerous tribes of mutants. The only "civilized" live could be found in so-called Mega-Cities, where the rest of the humanity tries to survive in massacre fighting with each other for resources, money and drugs. Violent crime wars have achieved their apogee, when the new drug named SLO-MO was invented. This new dope heavily alters reality slowing everything around you in ten times. After taking a doze you can even notice slow motion of particles of smoke vibrating in the fume of your cigar. This happens because your mind and perception accelerates and runs in ten times faster making everything in front of you moving slowly, that's why the stuff was named SLO-MO. The woman standing behind the invention and distributing the drug, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) is going to take control over the entire Mega-City One making the whole its population addicted to her new invention. In this near the state of war situation, two cops (or how they are called in future, Judges) one veteran Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) and one newbie Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) tries to stop Ma-Ma before her dream to gain the control over the city population will come true. In post-apocalyptic future, where traditional principles of judgment are forceless, Judges are endowed with the power to capture, arrest, judge and execute any criminal they encounter. Sometimes all these actions take no more than a second between arrest and execution.
