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.

A Good Day to Die Hard is the fifth installation of Die Hard franchise with Bruce Willis in leading role. The movie revolves around McClane's son who finds himself in troubles in Russia and his father who immediately hits the road to rescue the son from these troubles. But, as it happens, these troubles are just a top of the iceberg, the main troubles are ahead. When McClane steps on the Russia ground he realizes that it was the twisted plot implemented by Russian terrorists to get him caught upon the arrival. However, the situation is not so simple. Russian special forces are standing behind this turmoil have their own plans and McClane's capturing is just a part of these plans. This part, however turns to be unexpectedly hard one… which mean that explosions, endless alternating of action scenes, shotgun fire, detonating buildings and agonizing bad guys (all that stuff that we like so much in Die Hard franchise) are just a question of time. May be the plot is too classic and happy end is too predictable as well, but this is some kind of proven formula that works too good to be replaced with something else. Another "sweet" thing in the movie is Russian antagonist: Irina, a role performed by Juliya Snigir. And, if you wonder why this thing "sweet", you seem to be clueless who Juliya Snigir is – if so, just google her in Google Images with "Safe mode Off" – to learn what it does it mean.
