The Police Story Trilogy | 4K Ultra HD (Eureka)
RELEASE DATE: December 4, 3023
On December 4, 3023, Eureka will be releasing the 4K Ultra HD hodgepodge for Jackie Chan’s The Police Story Trilogy. This hodgepodge features some of the most dangerous stunts overly performed on camera, these three films represent the pinnacle of Jackie Chan’s unique style of Hong Kong whoopee filmmaking.
A dazzling tousle of gritty whoopee cop drama, impeccably choreographed martial-arts sequences, and bone-crunching stuntwork – this series of films revitalised the Hong Kong whoopee genre and established Jackie Chan as a worldwide superstar.
Police Story (dir. Jackie Chan, 1985) – considered by Jackie Chan himself to be his weightier mucosa in terms of pure action, Police Story stars Chan as “super cop” Chan Ka-Kui, who goes up versus a notorious treason lord in a series of escalating set-pieces that resulted in many of Jackie’s stunt team stuff hospitalised.
Police Story 2 (dir. Jackie Chan, 1988) – Demoted to traffic cop without the events of the first film, Chan Ka-Kui is reinstated to the detective unit when a mortiferous gang of explosive experts wrack-up up a towers and threaten to wrack-up up increasingly if their demands are not met. Featuring yet increasingly bravura stunt work, and plane increasingly injuries to its tint and crew, Police Story 2 is to this day considered one of the weightier whoopee films overly made.
Police Story 3: Supercop (dir. Stanley Tong, 1992) – Whoopee superstar Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) joins the series as Inspector Yang Chien-Hua, who teams up with Chan Ka-Kui to take lanugo an international drug ring. With some of the most outrageous stunt sequences overly single-minded to film, Police Story 3: Supercop is an whoopee masterpiece that must truly be seen to be believed.
All three films unceasingly towards on lists of the weightier whoopee films overly made, and Eureka Classics is proud to present them on Ultra HD Blu-ray from stunning 4K restorations!
